How We Choose the Best Roofers in Columbus

Ohio does not issue a statewide roofing license — a key difference from states like Illinois or Florida. Columbus contractors must register with the City of Columbus Department of Building and Zoning Services, and that registration is not automatically valid outside the city. We verified current registration, checked BBB accreditation history, Angi and Yelp review quality and velocity, Google review volume, manufacturer certifications, and years in business for every contractor on this list.

Columbus’s housing stock includes older brick bungalows and Craftsman homes in the Short North and German Village, mid-century colonials in the suburbs, and newer development in Dublin, Westerville, and New Albany. We flagged which contractors have the material expertise for each home type.

Top 10 Roofing Companies in Columbus

1

Muth & Company Roofing

★★★★★ 5.0 (BBB A+ accredited) Est. 1992 · GAF Master Elite · President’s Club · First in Columbus · BBB Torch Award

Muth and Company Roofing is the most credentialed contractor on this list. Founded by Chad and Gina Muth in 1992, they were the first roofing contractor in Columbus to receive GAF’s President’s Club Certification — a distinction held by only 3 percent of all North American roofing contractors at any given time — and hold continuous GAF Master Elite status since 1998. They are also CertainTeed ShingleMaster certified, giving them dual manufacturer elite status. The BBB awarded them the Torch Award for marketplace ethics in 2023, their most recent public recognition. The “Mr. Moose Roof Maintenance Plan” is a notable differentiator — a structured preventive inspection and maintenance program that catches small issues before they become costly replacements, demonstrating a genuinely long-term, customer-first approach. Staff are required to pass a GAF Pro Field Guide test within six months of joining.

★★★★★ 5.0 (850+ Google reviews) Est. 1992 · 3rd-Gen Family · BBB A+ · No Complaints · Community Partner

Newman Roofing has served Central Ohio since 1992 and is now a third-generation family business. With a five-star Google rating from more than 850 verified reviews, a BBB A+ rating with zero complaints on record, and a 4.9-star rating on Yelp, Newman has one of the cleanest independent review records of any contractor on this list. Yahoo Local’s independent Columbus roofer guide independently verified their BBB A+ status and zero complaints and recognized them as the best family-owned contractor in the market. Reviewers on Angi and HomeAdvisor specifically call out estimator Kurt as the only contractor who actually got on the roof during multi-contractor bid processes, leaving detailed material sample packets rather than just price quotes.

Able Roof

★★★★☆ 4.2 (100,000+ customers served) Est. 1981 · 40+ Yrs · Largest in Central Ohio · BBB A+ · Full-Service

Able Roof began as a one-man operation in 1981 and grew into the largest residential and commercial roofing contractor in Central Ohio, having served over 100,000 customers in four decades. They hold a BBB A+ rating, Dunn and Bradstreet high rating, and a full service range that includes roofing, siding, windows, doors, masonry, and gutters — an advantage when a project involves multiple exterior components. They serve all four county areas of Central Ohio including Franklin, Delaware, Union, and Fairfield Counties. Their scale brings both the advantage of significant crew capacity and the occasional downside of a larger-company experience — some individual reviews note more variable consistency than smaller owner-operated shops. For homeowners who value one contractor handling every exterior system, Able Roof is the obvious choice in the Columbus market.

Ace Roofing Ltd.

★★★★★ 5.0 (73 Birdeye, BBB verified) Est. 2009 · BBB A+ · Leak Guarantee · Residential + Commercial · 7 Days

Ace Roofing has served the Columbus metro since 2009 with a BBB A+ accreditation and an unusual service guarantee: if they cannot find the source of your leak, they work for free until the source is found — or your money is refunded. This commitment speaks directly to the most common homeowner frustration, which is a contractor who patches symptoms without diagnosing the root cause. They handle shingle, metal, flat, and commercial roofing, and operate every day of the week, a differentiator among Columbus contractors that mostly close on weekends. Yahoo Local’s independent Columbus guide specifically recommends them for prompt emergency response and insurance claim work after storm damage.

Columbus Roofing Company

★★★★★ 4.9 (262 reviews) BBB Accredited 2022 · Dublin-Based · Local Ownership · Strong Follow-Up

Columbus Roofing Company is a locally owned and operated contractor BBB accredited since March 2022 and based in Dublin, Ohio, serving the broader Columbus metro. Their 262 Trustindex reviews average 4.9 stars, and reviewers consistently name specific staff members — Devin, Laine, Michael, and Tanner all appear by name in independent accounts, a strong signal of consistent, personalized service. Reviewers specifically note the company’s willingness to make multiple return trips to fully resolve a warranty issue rather than closing the ticket after the initial visit. For homeowners in the Dublin, Hilliard, and Upper Arlington suburbs west of Columbus, this contractor’s combination of recent BBB accreditation, strong review velocity, and genuine follow-through makes them a strong pick.

HIGHMARK Renovations has operated as a family-owned roofing and exterior remodeling contractor in the Columbus area since 2012, based primarily in Plain City.

★★★★★ 5.0 (Google verified) Columbus-Native · GAF Master Elite · Tilcor Metal Certified · Financing

How to Choose a Roofing Contractor in Columbus

Ohio’s municipality-driven licensing system and Columbus’s four-season climate create specific considerations that differ from most other major markets.

Verify City of Columbus Registration

Ohio has no statewide roofing license. Columbus contractors must register with the City of Columbus Department of Building and Zoning Services, renewed annually. Ask for the registration number and verify it directly. Columbus registration does not automatically apply to neighboring cities like Westerville or Dublin.

🏠

Match Material to Your Home

Columbus’s housing stock ranges from historic brick bungalows in German Village to 1990s colonials in Hilliard and new construction in New Albany. Older homes near the Short North may benefit from cedar shake or synthetic slate specialists. Newer subdivision homes are straightforward architectural shingle replacements most contractors handle well.

☀️

Time Your Project Wisely

Columbus’s peak roofing season runs late spring through early fall. After major hail events, the best local contractors book out quickly while storm chasers flood the market. Scheduling your project proactively in early spring or late fall often gets you faster service and more contractor attention than competing with post-storm demand.

📜

Confirm Permits Are Included

Columbus requires building permits for roof replacement, renewed through the Department of Building and Zoning Services. A reputable contractor pulls and closes all permits as part of the job. Get this confirmed in writing before signing — unpermitted roofing work can create insurance and resale complications.

You can estimate your project cost before calling by using our free roof’s square footage calculator. Going into contractor conversations with your own numbers makes it easier to compare quotes accurately and spot outliers.

Frequently Asked Questions

How much does a roof replacement cost in Columbus, OH?

+

A standard asphalt shingle replacement in Columbus typically runs $8,000 to $18,000 for a typical single-family home. Metal roofing systems run $12,000 to $35,000 or more. Roof repair generally runs $300 to $3,000 depending on scope. Use our roof’s square footage calculator and metal roof cost calculator to estimate before calling. Always get three itemized written quotes.

Does Ohio require a state roofing contractor license?

+

No. Ohio has no statewide roofing contractor license — a key difference from states like Illinois or Florida. In Columbus, contractors must hold a current registration from the City of Columbus Department of Building and Zoning Services, renewed annually for $300. Verify the contractor’s Columbus registration status before signing anything.

Does Columbus require a permit for roof replacement?

+

Yes. Roof replacement requires a building permit from the City of Columbus Department of Building and Zoning Services. A reputable contractor pulls and closes all required permits as part of the job scope. Get written confirmation that permits are included before signing.

What roofing materials work best in Columbus’s climate?

+

Columbus’s four-season climate means hot summers, cold snowy winters, spring hail, and freeze-thaw cycles. Architectural asphalt shingles are the most popular choice. Metal roofing handles Ohio’s wind, hail, and snow load exceptionally well with lifespans of 40 to 70 years. Know your roof pitch before choosing materials — steeper pitches open more material options.

How long does a roof replacement take in Columbus?

+

Most single-family Columbus roofs complete in one day. Larger homes, steep pitches, or significant decking repair can extend to two or three days. Muth and Company and Newman Roofing are both specifically noted by reviewers for single-day completions even on larger projects.

How do I spot a roofing scam in Columbus?

+

After Columbus’s frequent hailstorms, out-of-town storm chasers commonly target Central Ohio homeowners. Red flags: cannot produce a valid City of Columbus contractor registration, same-day signing pressure, full payment demanded before work starts, door-to-door solicitation immediately post-storm. Verify the Columbus registration and check BBB standing before signing.

What is the difference between a roof repair and a full replacement in Columbus?

+

A repair targets a specific area, typically $300 to $3,000. A replacement removes the entire system, typically $8,000 and up. Muth and Company’s Mr. Moose maintenance plan is designed specifically to catch issues early and extend roof life rather than default to replacement. Newman Roofing’s estimators also physically inspect the roof before recommending either direction.

What warranties should a Columbus roofing contractor offer?

+

Look for at least five years of workmanship coverage. Ascent Roofing Solutions offers the strongest warranty structure on this list — up to 50 years non-prorated and 25 years of workmanship protection through their CertainTeed Select program. Muth and Company’s GAF Golden Pledge warranty and CertainTeed ShingleMaster status unlock the strongest coverage from both manufacturers. Get all terms in writing before signing.

How often should I have my roof inspected in Columbus?

+

The Insurance Information Institute recommends every two years. Columbus’s frequent spring hailstorms and winter ice cycles make an annual fall inspection practical. Muth and Company’s Mr. Moose Roof Maintenance Plan provides structured annual inspection and preventive care for homeowners who want ongoing professional monitoring.

How is Columbus roofing licensing different from other states?

+

Unlike Illinois (which has a statewide IDFPR roofing license) or Florida (state contractor certification), Ohio regulates roofing locally. Columbus issues its own registration through the Department of Building and Zoning Services — separate from and not automatically applicable in neighboring cities. Always verify City of Columbus registration specifically, not just state credentials.

Which Columbus roofer is best for an insurance claim?

+

Ascent Roofing Solutions has the most developed insurance claims workflow of any contractor on this list, with in-house specialists who work directly with adjusters and document storm damage for maximum coverage. Ace Roofing also has strong emergency and insurance response credentials with their leak-find guarantee. Yahoo Local independently recommends Ace Roofing for post-storm emergency situations.
