Our work

Drag the slider. That's the same roof.

Every one of these is a Columbus-area home from the last two seasons. No renderings, no stock photos. If we can't show you the house, we won't claim it.

Services

Roofs, and the things attached to them.

We don't do kitchens, we don't do basements. Exteriors only, which is why our crews are fast and our warranty means something.

Insurance claims

Most of our roofs are paid for by an insurer, not a homeowner.

If hail or wind took your roof, the claim is the job. Here's exactly how it runs. No surprises, and nothing you have to chase.

01

We inspect, free

An hour on your roof with a camera. You get the photos whether or not you file anything.

02

You file the claim

It has to be you. We can't file on your behalf, and anyone who offers to is a problem. We give you the report to send.

03

We meet your adjuster

On the roof, same ladder, same day. Disagreements get settled up there instead of over six weeks of phone calls.

04

We build it

Work starts once the scope is approved. You pay your deductible. We invoice the insurer for the rest.

One thing we won't do: offer to "waive" or "cover" your deductible. It's insurance fraud in Ohio, it voids your claim, and a contractor who suggests it is telling you what they're willing to do to you later.
Financing

When insurance covers most of it, but not all of it.

A settlement rarely lands exactly on the total. Financing exists to close the gap so a roof that's already approved doesn't sit unbuilt through another winter.

  • Covers the deductible, or the difference between the settlement and the final invoice
  • Application takes about ten minutes and doesn't affect your credit to check
  • Terms come from the lender, not from us, and we don't mark anything up
  • You're free to pay cash, by card, or by check instead. Most people do

How a Ridgeline job runs

Four steps, and you meet the same people at each one.

Step 01

The inspection

Dave or Marcus, on your roof, about an hour. Photos emailed before they leave your driveway.

Written roofing estimate being reviewed
Step 02

The number

One written price, itemized, good for 30 days. No "today only" discount, because that's a pressure tactic.

The build

Dumpster Monday, tear-off Tuesday, done by Thursday on a typical home. We tarp every night.

The cleanup

Magnet over the whole lot, twice. If you find a nail in your grass next spring, call us and we'll come back out.

What people said

Three of the 388, including one that isn't glowing.

★★★★★
"Two other companies told me I needed a full replacement. Ridgeline got up there, took photos, and said I needed three vent boots and about $600 of work. That was two years ago and the roof is still fine."
Karen M. · Worthington · roof repair
★★★★★
"The hail claim was going nowhere until Marcus met our adjuster on the roof. Twenty minutes up there and the scope went from a patch to a full replacement. He didn't oversell it. He just showed the man the damage."
Tony R. · Gahanna · storm claim
★★★★☆
"Crew was a day later than promised because of rain, which annoyed me at the time. But they tarped everything, cleaned up properly, and the roof looks great. I'd use them again. I'd just plan for weather."

Service area

Central Ohio, and not much further.

We stay inside about forty minutes of the shop. It's the only way to get back out to a house quickly when something goes wrong, which on a few hundred roofs a year it occasionally does.

Outside this list? Call anyway. If we can't help we'll tell you who can.

Find out what's actually wrong with your roof.

Five questions, about a minute. We'll call you back the same day to put a time on the calendar, usually within 48 hours and faster after a storm.

No cost, no obligation. You keep the photos either way. No door-knocking. We've never done it and we're not starting. A real person calls. Not an automated text from a call center.

We call once. If you don't pick up, we don't hound you.

Got it, thanks.

This is a demo form, so nothing was actually sent. On a live site this would land in your inbox and your phone within seconds.

Before you call us

What people ask on the phone.

How do I know if I actually have hail damage?
Usually you can't tell from the ground. That's the honest answer. Hail bruising looks like dark, soft dents in the shingle mat and it doesn't always leak straight away. Ohio insurers generally want a claim filed within a year of the storm, so if a big one came through your neighborhood it's worth having someone look before that window closes.
Do you charge for the inspection?
No, and there's no obligation attached to it. You get the photo report by email whether you hire us, hire somebody else, or decide the roof is fine and do nothing. About a third of the roofs we inspect don't need work yet, and we tell those people so.
How long does a replacement take?
Two to four days for a typical Columbus home. Dumpster arrives the day before, tear-off and dry-in on day one, shingles after that. Steep pitches, slate, and multi-layer tear-offs run longer. Rain moves everything, and we'd rather push a day than dry-in badly.
What does the warranty actually cover?
Two separate things. The manufacturer covers the shingles themselves. With GAF Master Elite we can register a 50-year non-prorated warranty on qualifying systems. We cover the workmanship, which is the part that matters more, for 10 years. Bad installation causes far more leaks than defective shingles ever do.
Someone knocked on my door after the storm. Should I use them?
Be careful. After a big hailstorm, out-of-state crews follow the weather, sign as many contracts as they can, and are gone before the warranty means anything. Ask for a local address you can drive to, an Ohio registration number, and proof of insurance. Check whether they'll still exist in five years when you need them.
Will my insurance premium go up if I file?
Ask your agent. We don't know your policy and won't guess. In general, weather claims are treated differently from at-fault claims, and a full roof is one of the larger payouts a homeowner ever collects. But that's a conversation for your agent, not your roofer.

Get on the schedule before the next storm.

After a hailstorm we book out three weeks deep. Before one, we can usually be at your house in two days.
