What Columbus housing means for roof repair
Contractors need a city license from Building and Zoning Services before they pull permits. The Hap Cremean plant treats water from Hoover Reservoir on Big Walnut Creek.
The Dublin Road plant treats water from the Scioto River and the Griggs and O'Shaughnessy reservoirs. Additions often have a lower-pitch roof tied into the original one, and that seam is a common spot for leaks.
Heavy snow loads stress older roofs, and freeze-thaw cycles crack flashing and sealant. Electrical, HVAC and plumbing contractors must hold an Ohio state license before getting a city license.
Rules and utilities worth knowing
Ohio has no statewide roofing license, so roofers register with the city where they work. If storm damage may be covered by insurance, take photos before repairs and check with your insurer about their process.

Quick answers
What should I tell the roofer?
Describe where you see water, when it happens and the roof type if you know it. If you can, note which rooms are affected and whether leaks follow wind from one direction.
Is it safe to go on my roof?
It is better to let a pro handle it. Falls are a serious risk. Ladders and wet or steep surfaces cause serious injuries every year, and a pair of binoculars from the ground is a safer first look.
Do you cover Northland and Olde Towne East?
We look for independent pros across Columbus, including Northland, German Village, Short North and Clintonville, and ZIP codes 43002, 43081, 43085, 43109, 43137 and others. Coverage depends on which pros are available that day, so we will tell you right away if we cannot find someone.
Can a roof be repaired instead of replaced?
Often, yes. If the damage is limited and the roof is not near the end of its life, a repair can make sense. A roofer can explain the options.
If you rent, a short written note to your landlord now can save a lot of back and forth later.
