Columbus Roofers and the City's Historic Neighborhoods
Columbus has neighborhoods where the roof is part of the history. The German Village guidelines describe brick houses of one and a half stories with gray slate gabled roofs pitched at about 45 degrees, and the German Village Commission reviews exterior changes there through Certificates of Appropriateness. A homeowner inside that district checks with the commission before switching roofing materials, and the commission decides what it will approve.
H&R Contractors LLC installs Atlas asphalt shingles, so the right fit is a home outside those review districts or a project the commission has already cleared. That covers a great deal of ground. From older city streets to the newer subdivisions in Hilliard and Dublin, asphalt shingles are what most Columbus roofers put on when a roof reaches the end of its life.
When you call a roofing contractor in Columbus, OH about an older house, tell us the neighborhood first. We will ask whether the house sits in a historic district before we price anything, so there are no surprises later.
Storm Damage Repair in Columbus After Wind and Hail
Central Ohio storms can do real damage in minutes. On June 29, 2012, a derecho crossed the Columbus area with winds reported up to 82 miles per hour, and more than one million Ohio customers lost power. Roofs, siding and trees across Franklin County took the hit, and many homeowners spent the following weeks sorting out insurance claims.
A smaller storm can still lift shingle tabs, crack ridge caps or drop a branch through the decking. After a storm, take photos of anything you can see from the ground, then call us for a closer look. We help homeowners document wind, hail and tree damage for their insurance claim, and we can make temporary repairs to keep water out until the full fix is scheduled.
Columbus Permits for a Roof, Siding or New Windows
Inside the city limits, the Columbus Department of Building and Zoning Services treats roofing as permitted work. Its guidance says the replacement of a roof, siding, windows or doors requires a Roof, Siding, Windows, Doors permit, and several of those items can share one permit when they are applied for together. That permit includes a single inspection, so the work should be finished before the inspection is requested.
A project that changes the structure, such as new rafters or trusses, needs an alteration permit instead. Suburbs outside the city limits keep their own rules, so the right office depends on the address.
That single inspection is a good reason to plan the whole exterior at once. If the siding is failing and the windows are drafty along with the roof, bundling them on one permit means one application and one visit from the inspector. Bring up every item you are considering during the free estimate, and we will help you decide what makes sense to do now and what can wait a few seasons.

Roofing Questions From Columbus Homeowners
Does a new roof in Columbus need a city permit?
Inside the Columbus city limits, yes. Building and Zoning Services requires a Roof, Siding, Windows, Doors permit when a roof is replaced, and siding, windows or doors can be added to the same permit if they are applied for together. Homes in suburbs such as Hilliard or Grove City follow their own city rules, so the address decides which office to contact.
Can you put a new roof on a house in German Village?
The German Village Commission reviews exterior changes in its historic district and issues Certificates of Appropriateness. Many homes there have original slate, and the commission decides which replacement materials it will approve. H&R Contractors LLC installs Atlas asphalt shingles, so a German Village project starts with the commission's answer before we schedule any roofing work.
What should I check on my Columbus roof after a derecho or hailstorm?
From the ground, look for missing or folded shingles, dented gutters, torn siding and limbs resting on the roof. Take dated photos before anything is moved. Call your insurance company, then call H&R Contractors LLC at (740) 823-2710 for an inspection, and we will help you document the damage for your claim.
Do you take roofing jobs in Hilliard, Dublin and Groveport?
Yes. Hilliard, Dublin, Groveport, Grove City and Pickerington are all on our list of towns served around Columbus. The work is the same in each one: a free estimate, a written scope with no hidden fees, a clean job site and Atlas asphalt shingles on every full roof replacement we install.
