Questions homeowners ask us.

What does a new roof cost in Columbus?

Type your address into the Instant Roof Estimate and you’ll see a price range for your house in seconds, with no name or phone number needed. Your exact price comes as a written quote after a first look.

What moves the price: the size and steepness of the roof, how many layers come off, bad wood under the old shingles, and chimneys, skylights or walls the roof ties into.

How long does a roof replacement take?

Most roofs are done in a day. A large or complex roof can take longer, and so can the season, since daylight hours change through the year.

Should I repair or replace my roof?

Many roofs can be repaired, and we will tell you when yours is one of them. If your roof is 15 to 20 years old, that is a good time for a first look. We will tell you what we see and about how many years it likely has left.

What is the catch with a no-charge roof inspection?

There isn’t one, but there is a reason. If your roof has five good years left, you did not spend anything and we did not sell anything. What we earned was your trust.

Does someone have to get on my roof?

We fly a drone over the roof first. Then, as long as it is safe and you are comfortable with it, someone gets up on the roof for a hands-on inspection. Most of the time that is Travis. A first look takes 20 to 40 minutes.

What do I get from a first look?

Photos of every side of the house and every side of the roof, an Exterior Report you keep, all four of your options laid out, and an estimate if you want one.

What happens if you find rotted wood?

Your quote includes up to two sheets of new wood. If we find more bad wood than that, we stop, show you the photo, and you approve it at the per-sheet price in your quote. Your price does not change without your say-so.

Why do two roofing quotes not line up?

Two quotes can look alike and still be for different jobs. Check that both take the old roof off down to the wood, use the same shingle and the same protective layer underneath it, replace the metal around chimneys and walls, and list the cost of rotted wood. Then ask who is installing it.

Should I file an insurance claim?

When a storm has really damaged your roof, a claim can be the right call. We document what we find clearly, and you and your agent handle the claim. Questions about your coverage, deductible or rates go to your agent.

Who installs my roof?

A hand-picked crew installs every roof, and we come back for a quality check when the job is done.

Do I have to give my name to get a price?

No. The Instant Roof Estimate only needs your address. We only reach out if you ask.

Do you offer financing?

Yes, through Foundation Finance Company. Seeing if you prequalify is a soft credit pull that won’t affect your credit score. Financing is subject to credit approval.
