Roofing across the Columbus area

True Vision Exteriors is based in Reynoldsburg, and that is the only place we are based. We inspect, repair and replace roofs across the east side of Columbus and the towns around it. Every visit starts the same way: every slope photographed, and a written report before anyone talks about price.

Close to home

Reynoldsburg. Home. An established east-side suburb where most roofs are on their second or third covering over simple gables, so the questions are how many layers are up there, what shape the decking is in, and whether the flashing is older than the shingle over it.

Blacklick. Between Reynoldsburg and Gahanna, a mix of older houses and newer streets. We check which one we are looking at before we say anything about age.

Pickerington. Grew in waves, so its roofs age in waves: whole streets built within a few years of each other come due together. Newer builds carry more hips, dormers and valleys, and the leaks live at those joints.

Whitehall. Older, smaller houses with simple roofs, many on their second covering. Straightforward to inspect, and the decking underneath matters as much as the shingle.

Gahanna. Neighborhoods from several decades side by side, so two roofs on the same street can be twenty years apart. The report says which one you have.

Bexley. Some of the oldest housing in the area, with steeper pitches, chimneys and details that deserve a careful eye before anything is torn off.

Pataskala. Newer growth against open fields on the eastern edge of the metro, where nothing breaks the wind. Edges, creases and ridge caps go first, often with no hail to show for it.

A regular drive

Columbus. The east side of the city is some of the closest work we do, and the city holds every kind of roof we see: old steep pitches, flat and low-slope sections on older houses, and newer subdivisions on the edges. For what a replacement costs here, see roof replacement in Columbus.

Canal Winchester. Two kinds of roof in one town: an old village core with steep pitches, chimneys and older decking, ringed by newer subdivisions. The inspection changes with the age of the house.

Groveport. An old canal town with a mature canopy over its streets, and a canopy works on a roof all year: debris in the valleys, shade keeping slopes damp, limbs scrubbing the shingles.

New Albany. Larger, newer houses with complex rooflines, where valleys, step flashing and penetrations are the places to look first.

Lithopolis. A small village south of Canal Winchester with older houses and the chimneys and flashing details that come with them.

Further out

These take longer to reach, so we book them ahead. The inspection and the report are the same.

Westerville. North of the city, with older streets near the center and newer growth around it.

Worthington. Many older houses under mature trees. If yours is in the historic district, check with the city before changing how the roof looks.

Dublin. Newer, larger houses with complex rooflines on the far side of the metro from us.

Grove City. South-west of Columbus, a long way round from Reynoldsburg, and we still come.

Lancaster. Down Route 33 in Fairfield County, with a historic core of older houses and newer streets around it.

Questions

What people ask about where we go

Do you have an office in my town?

No. We are based in Reynoldsburg and we come to you, with the same number, 614-701-0806, wherever the roof is.

My town is not on this page. Will you still come?

Call and ask. If it is a reasonable drive from Reynoldsburg we will usually come, and if it is not we will say so straight away.

A storm went through my town. How soon should I get the roof looked at?

Soon. An Ohio claim runs from the date of the storm, so a dated set of photographs of your roof is worth having before you sign anything with anyone. See how a storm claim works.

Does it cost more if I am further away?

The consult is free wherever you are. What moves the price of the work is the roof itself: its size, its pitch, how many layers come off, and what the decking looks like underneath. See what a replacement costs.
