Roofing, Siding & Gutters in Grandview Heights
Grandview Heights has one of the oldest housing stocks in the Columbus metro. Nearly half the homes here were built before 1940, which means Cape Cods and Colonial Revivals with original slate, clay tile, or early asphalt shingles still covering many roofs. The Bank Block, built in 1927, anchors a walkable downtown where most buildings share walls and rooflines. Grandview Yard on the east side flips the script entirely with modern construction, flat membrane roofs on commercial buildings, and luxury condos with architectural shingles.
From our Lewis Center headquarters, we reach Grandview Heights addresses in about 20 minutes via 315 South. When we inspect older homes here, we look for the telltale signs of 80+ year old roofing systems: granule loss, flashing deterioration around chimneys, and ventilation problems in attics that predate modern building codes. One of our customers described our approach: “Very trustworthy and knows roofing. Kris personally came and walked my roof. He took time to explain the condition of my roof and any areas of concern.”
Central Ohio weather hits Grandview Heights the same way it hits the rest of the metro. February 2024 brought 1.75 inch diameter hail across Columbus. April 2024 saw ping pong ball sized hail from Hilliard to Gahanna. When storms roll through, older roofs suffer more damage than newer ones because the materials have already weathered decades of freeze-thaw cycles. We document everything, take photos, and work directly with insurance adjusters who know what Central Ohio hail can do.

Grandview Heights Roofing FAQs
Common questions about roofing services in Grandview Heights
Yes. Grandview Heights requires building permits for all roof replacements. The city maintains its own Building and Zoning Department separate from Columbus, located at 1515 Goodale Blvd. You can apply online through OpenGov or we can handle the permit process for you. Permits are valid for 12 months from issuance.
With nearly half the homes built before 1940, we see a lot of ventilation problems in older attics. Original construction often lacks the soffit and ridge venting that modern codes require, which causes heat buildup that ages shingles prematurely. Flashing around masonry chimneys is another frequent issue on older homes. In Grandview Yard and newer construction, storm damage from hail is the most common reason people call us.
Most single-family homes in Grandview Heights take one day to complete. The compact lot sizes mean we set up efficiently and work without long material carries. Larger or more complex homes, like those with multiple dormers or steep pitches on the older Cape Cods, may take two days. We schedule around weather and typically start early morning.
Yes. Our commercial roofing team handles TPO, EPDM, and other flat membrane systems common on Grandview Yard buildings. We service both commercial properties and the flat sections of mixed-use residential buildings. These roofs require different materials and techniques than sloped residential roofs.
Our Lewis Center office is about 20 minutes from Grandview Heights via 315 South. We service Grandview Heights regularly and can typically schedule inspections within a few days. For emergency repairs after storms, we respond faster.
