Top 10 Roofing Companies
in Columbus, OH
Columbus sees all four seasons — winter ice, spring hail, summer storms, and freeze-thaw cycles that stress roofs year-round. Ohio has no statewide roofing license; we verified every contractor below holds a current City of Columbus contractor registration.
Our Methodology
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
Muth & Company Roofing
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.
Pros & Cons
Newman Roofing
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. They support the Down Syndrome Association of Central Ohio and have been featured on local news for their community work.
Pros & Cons
Ascent Roofing Solutions
Ascent Roofing Solutions is a veteran-owned and locally operated contractor based in Lewis Center, serving Central Ohio since 2009 or 2010. They hold CertainTeed Select ShingleMaster certification and a BBB A+ accredited rating. Their 19 consecutive Angi Super Service Awards and 712 Angi reviews are among the highest volumes on this list. Ascent offers multi-tier warranty options including a 50-year non-prorated transferable warranty and a warranty with 25 years of workmanship coverage — the strongest warranty structure we found among all Columbus contractors. Project manager Marc Schmauch and estimator Steve Spaulding are both named repeatedly by name in independent reviews. A veteran discount is available to military homeowners.
Pros & Cons
Able Roof
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.
Pros & Cons
Ace Roofing Ltd.
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.
Pros & Cons
Columbus Roofing Company
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.
Pros & Cons
Oaks Roofing & Siding
Oaks Roofing and Siding was founded in 2003 by Kris Oaks with the goal of providing superior construction services to Columbus homeowners, and the company has operated for over 20 years as a genuinely local family-owned business. BBB accredited since April 2024, they hold a current Columbus registration with a genuine Columbus address. They handle residential roofing alongside siding, gutters, and windows, making them a full exterior contractor for homeowners who want to combine projects. Their Angi profile shows consistently strong ratings and a pattern of detailed, plausible homeowner reviews rather than generic praise.
Pros & Cons
HIGHMARK Renovations Roofing
HIGHMARK Renovations has operated as a family-owned roofing and exterior remodeling contractor in the Columbus area since 2012, based primarily in Plain City. Their BBB accreditation, Angi Approved Pro status, and consistent five-star Angi rating reflect a decade-plus of stable operation. Their brand promise is straightforward: make high-quality roof replacement simple, fast, and easy. Reviewers on Angi and HomeAdvisor specifically call out their detailed project timelines communicated upfront, polite crews, and fast completion — including one homeowner who noted the crew also unclogged bathroom plumbing ventilation pipes on the roof as part of the job without being asked. They serve the Columbus metro with a focus on western and northwest suburbs including Marysville and Plain City.
Pros & Cons
614 Exteriors
614 Exteriors is a Columbus-native roofing company with dual top-tier manufacturer certifications: GAF Master Elite status and Tilcor Stone-Coated Metal Contractor certification, which qualifies them to install lifetime metal roofing systems that mimic the look of traditional tile, shake, and shingles. Their combination of GAF Master Elite credentials and Tilcor certification is uncommon among Columbus contractors and makes them the go-to choice for homeowners specifically interested in premium metal or stone-coated metal roofing systems. They offer financing options and provide educational resources through their blog specifically to help Columbus homeowners compare options before signing. Their “614” area code branding is deliberate — they identify specifically as a Columbus company.
Pros & Cons
Ascent Roofing (Storm/Insurance Track)
For homeowners dealing specifically with insurance-covered storm damage repairs, Ascent Roofing Solutions has a dedicated storm restoration and insurance claims track that operates separately from their standard replacement workflow. Their team includes experienced insurance claim specialists who work directly with adjusters, document storm damage for maximum claim coverage, and manage the full process from initial inspection to final installation. Ascent is the only contractor on this list that handles the full insurance workflow in-house. Their veteran ownership also means they bring a structured, process-driven approach to the often-confusing insurance claim process. Call Ascent directly at (614) 280-1043 and ask specifically for their storm damage team if your situation involves an insurance claim.

Buyer’s Guide
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.
