Every June 14th, Columbus does something that most cities never do: it stops and celebrates itself.
614 Day isn’t a corporate holiday or a marketing gimmick. It started in 2015 as a small gathering of Columbus residents who loved their city and wanted to show it. Today, it’s a citywide tradition — block parties, local vendors, live music, food trucks, and a citywide toast at exactly 6:14 PM. It’s a day to wear local, eat local, drink local, and support local.
At Roof Ohio, we don’t need a reminder to support local. We’ve been doing it every single day.
We’re Not From Somewhere Else. We’re From Here.
Every storm season, Columbus homeowners deal with the same headache: out-of-state storm chasers who flood into Central Ohio after a bad hailstorm, knock on doors, and disappear just as fast — taking deposits, leaving problems, and heading to the next city that got hit.
We’re not that company.
Roof Ohio is based in Westerville. We serve Westerville, Dublin, Powell, Hilliard, Gahanna, New Albany, Pickerington, Grove City, Canal Winchester, and every community in between. When the job is done, we’re still here. When you have a warranty question six months later, you can actually reach us. When the next storm rolls through and you need a quick inspection, we already know your neighborhood — because it’s our neighborhood too.
That’s what it means to be a 614 company.
June in Columbus Means Summer Storms Are Coming
614 Day also happens to land right in the heart of Ohio’s most active storm season. June through August brings the thunderstorms, high winds, and hail events that Central Ohio homeowners know all too well.
Here’s what that means for your roof:
After a storm, act fast — but act smart. Hail damage isn’t always obvious from the ground. A storm that didn’t look like much can leave dozens of impact marks on your shingles, bruising the granule surface and shortening the life of your roof by years. The damage is real even when you can’t see it.
Your insurance claim window matters. Ohio homeowners generally have one year from the date of loss to file a storm-related insurance claim. Many homeowners miss that window simply because they didn’t know damage existed. A professional inspection — at no cost to you — is the only way to know for sure.
Not every roofer who shows up after a storm is the right choice. Storm chasers count on urgency. They want you to sign before you’ve had time to think. A local contractor isn’t going anywhere. We’ll walk your roof, document what we find, and give you an honest assessment — no pressure.
Our Promise to the 614
Columbus homeowners deserve a roofing company that treats them the way a neighbor would: honestly, transparently, and with real accountability.
That means:
- Free storm damage inspections — we’ll tell you what’s there, and what isn’t
- Insurance claim expertise — we work with adjusters regularly and know how to document damage correctly
- Quality materials installed the right way — no shortcuts, no callbacks
- Warranties you can actually use — because we’ll be here when you need them
