Hilliard OH Roofing Contractor

Roofing, Siding & Gutters in Hilliard
Hilliard grew in three distinct waves, and each left different roofs behind. The 1950s subdivisions near Old Hilliard brought the first major housing boom. The I-270 completion in the 1980s triggered a second wave through neighborhoods like Heritage Lakes and Brookfield Village. Construction has continued since the 1990s with subdivisions like Britton Farms, Ballantrae, and Hampton Oaks adding thousands more homes. The median home in Hilliard was built around 1997, which means many original roofs are now approaching or past their expected lifespan.
From our Lewis Center office, we reach Hilliard in about 20 minutes via 315 and 270. When we inspect a roof here, we pay attention to what decade the home was built. Homes from the 1980s often have original 3-tab shingles that should have been replaced years ago. Newer construction may look fine but can still have storm damage or installation issues. One homeowner nearby put it this way: “Kris talked me through the process, showed me his areas of concern and how he planned on addressing those with the new roof. He was patient and really took his time answering all of my questions.”
Hilliard gets hit by the same storms that roll through all of Franklin County. February 2024 brought a confirmed tornado near Roberts Road that collapsed a home on Westbreeze Drive. April 2024 saw ping pong ball sized hail across the metro area including Hilliard. September 2024 brought another round of hail damage reports. After storms like these, we respond quickly to document damage and work directly with insurance adjusters.
