Hometown Roofing on Both Sides of US 23
Circleville is where H&R Contractors LLC started in 2022, and the county seat is still where much of our work happens. A new roof comes first for us, built with Atlas asphalt shingles, and the rest of the exterior follows from there.
Every estimate is free and itemized, with no hidden fees tucked into the final bill. We keep a clean job site, too, because in a town this size the house next door belongs to a neighbor.

Round Town History
Older Homes Near the Original Circle
Circleville takes its name from its first town plan. In 1810 the streets were laid out inside a circular Hopewell earthwork about 1,100 feet across, and residents later had the circle squared into a grid, a change finished by the middle of the 1850s. The Ted Lewis Museum is the last building left from the circular plan.
That long history means the blocks around downtown hold a mix of older homes, later additions and porches built in different decades. Older roofs often carry more than one layer of shingles, chimneys that need new flashing and decking that has seen a few repairs of its own. A tear off shows exactly what is underneath, and we explain anything we find before it gets covered back up.
Newer neighborhoods on the edges of town bring their own needs, mostly ridge vents, valleys and gutters sized for longer rooflines. The approach is the same in both places: look closely, quote it in writing and finish cleanly.
Getting the House Ready Before Pumpkin Show Week
Every October, the Circleville Pumpkin Show takes over the streets downtown from the third Wednesday through Saturday of the month. It has been running since 1903, when the mayor set out a modest display of pumpkins and corn fodder, and it now bills itself as the Greatest Free Show on Earth.
For homeowners, that week is a handy reminder that fall maintenance is due. Leaves are coming down, and gutters packed with them overflow during the first hard rain and freeze solid once the cold arrives. Booking gutter cleaning, a quick roof check or a siding repair in September or early October means the house is in good shape before family and friends come to town for the festival.
Wind, Hail and Heavy Rain in Pickaway County
Circleville sees a little more than 40 inches of precipitation in a typical year, along with about 15 inches of snow. Spring and summer thunderstorms bring wind and hail, and the area knows how serious they can get: in 1999 a tornado passed through the Northwood Park neighborhood.
Most storm damage is less dramatic but still costly if it waits. Lifted shingles, cracked ridge caps and dented gutters let water in slowly, and the stains often show up indoors weeks later. We inspect the roof after a storm, make temporary repairs when water is getting in and help you document the damage for your insurance claim. Good photos taken early make that claim far easier to explain.

Permits Through the Pickaway County Building Department
The City of Circleville does not run its own building department. Building permits for homes in town go through the Pickaway County Building Department on West Franklin Street, which tracks permits for new construction, alterations, additions and repairs and inspects projects for compliance with the Ohio Building Code.
The county also keeps a contractor registration process for anyone working in Pickaway County, and its records list a residential re-roof permit type. Before you sign with any roofer, ask whether the job needs a permit and whether the contractor is registered with the county. Zoning questions inside the city go to Circleville's own planning and zoning office. Keep the permit and the final invoice with your house papers for the day you sell.
Neighbors Across the Region
Serving Kingston, Mount Sterling and Groveport From Circleville
Circleville sits on the east bank of the Scioto River, roughly halfway between Columbus and Chillicothe. That location puts the farm towns and villages around it well within reach, including Kingston, Mount Sterling and Groveport. Rural lots often carry a detached garage or outbuilding along with the house, and we quote each building on its own line so you can decide what to do now and what can wait.
Homes that sit beside open fields take wind from every side. A roof in that spot usually loses shingles at the edges and ridges first, so those are the places we check closely on every visit.
We also work in Columbus, Lancaster and Chillicothe. For every town on our list, visit our central Ohio service areas or ask when you call.
Questions Circleville Homeowners Ask Us
Who issues roofing permits for a house inside Circleville?
The City of Circleville does not have its own building department, so building permits go through the Pickaway County Building Department on West Franklin Street. The county keeps a residential re-roof permit type and requires contractors working in the county to register. Zoning questions inside the city limits are handled separately by Circleville's planning and zoning office.
When should I book gutter cleaning in Circleville?
Late September and early October work well, ahead of Pumpkin Show week and before the heaviest leaf drop. If the trees on your lot are large, a second visit after the leaves are down keeps the gutters clear before freezing weather. Clogged gutters overflow against fascia and siding, so timing the cleaning right protects more than the gutters.
Do you work on older homes near downtown Circleville?
Yes. Many houses near the original circle have older roofs with several shingle layers, aging chimney flashing and decking that has been patched over the years. We tear off down to the deck, replace damaged boards and install new Atlas asphalt shingles, and we explain anything unexpected before the new roof goes on.
Can you come out to Kingston or Mount Sterling for an estimate?
Yes. Kingston and Mount Sterling are both on our list of towns served, along with Groveport and the rest of the area around Circleville. Estimates are free, and the written scope you receive in a nearby village matches what you would get in town: itemized pricing, no hidden fees and a clean job site.
