Are You Licensed and Insured?

A Straight Answer for Columbus Homeowners

If you’re searching for a residential roofing contractor in Columbus, you’ve probably seen the question pop up: “Are you licensed and insured?”

You should ask it. And you should expect a clear, confident answer.

At The Roof Champion of Columbus, we don’t just say yes—we prove it.

What Does It Mean to Be “Licensed and Insured”?

Being licensed means we meet all state and local legal requirements to operate as a residential roofing contractor. That includes:

• Registered business with the City of Columbus or local municipality

• State-compliant documentation for trade work

• Proper permitting and inspection procedures for all projects

Being insured means we carry:

• General Liability Insurance – Protects you from damages to your home

• Workers' Compensation Insurance – Covers our crew if someone gets hurt on your property

If your contractor can’t show proof of both, walk away.

Why It Matters to You

Hiring an unlicensed or uninsured roofer opens you up to major risks.

• You could be liable if a worker is injured

• Home insurance may deny claims if an unlicensed contractor is involved

• You lose recourse if the job is done wrong

Too many homeowners in Worthington, Hilliard, or Gahanna learn this the hard way—after the roof is leaking again.

We Do Things by the Book—Every Time

Here’s how we back our promise:

• All documentation is available upon request

• Every job is permitted, inspected, and up to code

• Our crews are trained, certified, and fully insured

• We never cut corners—and we never put you at risk

When Travis Haessly started The Roof Champion, it was with one goal: protect homeowners from getting burned. That’s why we hold ourselves to the highest standards. Because you deserve more than a handshake—you deserve protection.

FAQs

How can I verify your license and insurance?
We’ll show you. Just ask. We’ll provide copies of our current liability insurance, workers' comp coverage, and applicable local licenses.

What happens if a roofer isn’t insured and someone gets hurt on my property?
You could be held personally responsible for medical costs or legal damages. It’s a serious risk.

Is licensing required for roofing in Ohio?
Yes. Local municipalities (like Columbus, Dublin, and Delaware) require contractors to be registered and meet trade license requirements for residential work.
