Ohio's First Capital
Older Homes in a City That Predates Statehood
Chillicothe is the seat of Ross County and sits between the Scioto River and Paint Creek, close to where the two meet. It served as Ohio's first capital when the state joined the Union in 1803, and it held that role again for several years before the government moved to Columbus.
A city with that much history has plenty of older houses, and they ask more of a roofer. Steep roofs, brick chimneys and dormers all need careful flashing. A tear off can also reveal decking that was patched long ago. We replace damaged boards before the new roof goes on and walk you through anything we find along the way.
Newer homes on the outskirts have simpler rooflines but longer gutter runs and more open wind. Both get the same written scope and cleanup from a roofing contractor in Chillicothe, OH who knows the area.
Storm Damage Repair in Chillicothe and the Scioto Valley
Thunderstorms roll through the Scioto Valley every spring and summer, bringing gusty wind, hail and heavy rain. The river is part of daily life here, and a floodwall protects the city from Scioto River flooding, with a paved bike path running about five miles along it.
Storm damage repair in Chillicothe usually starts with the roof and the trees around it. Lifted shingles, broken ridge caps and limbs on the roof let water in quickly, so we make temporary repairs when water is getting inside and then plan the permanent fix. We also help homeowners photograph and document wind, hail and tree damage for their insurance claim. That record makes the talk with the adjuster much simpler.
Permits and the Chillicothe Building Department
Inside the city limits, the Chillicothe Building Department on South Paint Street reviews and approves residential construction plans, inspects job sites and registers contractors who work in the city. Its registration checks that a contractor holds a liability policy, a bond and proof of workers' comp coverage.
The city updated its residential permit fees in April 2025, and a new unified development code took effect in December 2025. Before roofing work begins, ask the department whether your project needs a permit, and ask any roofer you are considering whether they are registered with the city. Homes outside the city limits may fall under a different office.
A little homework up front saves trouble later. A registered contractor and a permit on file mean an inspector has looked at the work, and that record can help when you sell the house or file a future insurance claim. Keep a copy of the permit, the estimate and the final invoice together with your other house papers.

Chillicothe Roofing Questions From Ross County Homeowners
Do I need a city permit to replace my roof in Chillicothe?
Ask the Chillicothe Building Department on South Paint Street before work begins. It reviews residential construction plans, inspects job sites and registers the contractors who work inside the city. Its permit fees were updated in April 2025. If your home sits outside the city limits, a different office may handle permits, so confirm with the department.
Can you add gutter installation in Chillicothe to my roof project?
Yes. Gutter installation in Chillicothe pairs well with a new roof, because the drip edge, fascia and gutters can be set together. We install aluminum gutters and downspouts sized for the roofline, which helps carry heavy Scioto Valley rain away from the foundation. Both items appear separately on one free, itemized estimate.
Do you serve Piketon, Kingston and Frankfort?
Yes. Piketon is on our list of towns served, and Kingston and Frankfort in Ross County are covered as part of the Chillicothe area. Homeowners in each village get the same free estimate, written scope, clean job site and Atlas asphalt shingles on every full roof replacement that H&R Contractors LLC installs.
What should I do if a storm drops a tree limb on my Chillicothe roof?
Stay clear of the damaged area and keep people out of any room where water is coming in. Take photos from a safe spot, call your insurance company and then call H&R Contractors LLC at (740) 823-2710. We can make temporary repairs to stop the water and help document the damage for your claim.
