Editorial Review
Our Take on Summit Building & Roofing
Summit pairs strong, consistent reviews with a wider building background than most roofers, which helps on storm claims and combined projects. The gaps are small: no published license number or warranty terms, and no weekend hours.
Best forHomeowners who want one contractor for a roof, siding, gutters and larger remodeling work
What We Like
- Gutters have their own service page covering replacement options, color and type selection, and gutter toppers
- Says its crew is trained and certified for gutter installation and stands by manufacturer warranties
- In business in Columbus since 2010 under owner Jason Kear, who has 20-plus years in the trade
- GAF Master Elite certified and an Owens Corning Preferred Roofing Contractor for the roof the gutters hang from
- 4.9 stars from 281 Google reviews, read November 10, 2026, with crews praised for cleanup and follow-up visits
Things to Consider
- The office is closed Saturday and Sunday, so weekend calls wait until Monday at 8:00 AM
- The gutter page names no material, gauge or price, and the site publishes no license number or policy details
- Gutters are one line among roofing, siding, windows and remodeling, so ask which crew installs them

Company Background
About Summit Building & Roofing
Summit Building & Roofing is based at 1647 Windsor Avenue on Columbus's Near East Side, and the company has been as much a building contractor as a roofer since it started in 2010. The site describes a family-owned business led by owner and president Jason Kear, who has more than 20 years in the trade, with Nathaniel Reed as general manager and Lew Compton as sales manager. That building background shows in the reviews. One homeowner hired the crew to turn a cape cod into a true two-story house, with a new roof, gutters, drywall and finishes, and the work was finished in time for a solar installation.
Gutters are listed as a core service next to roofing, siding, windows, doors and attic insulation. The gutters page says a new system can change the look and value of a home, invites owners whose old gutters no longer move water off the roof to ask about replacement options, and says the crew is trained and certified to install them and will help pick the type and color. Summit says it stands behind manufacturer warranties and installs gutter toppers, the leaf guards that sit over the trough. Its blog covers ice damming and gutter maintenance for Ohio winters. The page does not state a gutter material, gauge, price or workmanship warranty.
On the roofing side, Summit installs asphalt shingles from Owens Corning, GAF and CertainTeed, plus standing seam metal. The company is GAF Master Elite certified, an Owens Corning Preferred Roofing Contractor, and lists an A+ BBB rating. It also states it is licensed, bonded and insured, though it does not publish a license number. Crews work across Columbus and suburbs such as Bexley, Grandview Heights, Upper Arlington, Worthington, Gahanna, Dublin, Hilliard and Westerville, and the site offers financing and free estimates.
Reviewers keep returning to communication and cleanup. Trey is praised for helping a homeowner get a full replacement after wind damage when the insurer first offered only repairs. Tony is credited with keeping a family informed through a full replacement, and Blake with checking on a job and returning the next day for a follow-up inspection. Several reviewers mention clean yards with no stray nails. Of the five recent reviews read, all were five stars and none raised a complaint, so the one honest caution is practical: the office is closed on weekends, and the site publishes no warranty terms or prices.
Summit has 4.9 from 281 Google reviews, read November 10, 2026.
It suits homeowners who want new gutters or toppers installed with a roof, siding or remodeling project, and anyone with storm damage. It suits less well anyone who wants a gutter-only crew, a weekend quote or warranty terms in writing before the first call. Ohio has no statewide gutter or roofing license, so before booking ask for proof of liability insurance and workers' compensation coverage, get the gutter material and gauge in a written contract, and look the company up on the Ohio Secretary of State business search.

Summit Building & Roofing FAQs
Does Summit Building & Roofing install gutters and gutter guards in Columbus?
Yes, gutters have their own service page. Summit says its crew is trained and certified for gutter installation, helps you choose the type and color, installs gutter toppers and stands behind manufacturer warranties. The page gives no material, gauge or price. The site says it is licensed, bonded and insured but publishes no license number, and Ohio has no statewide gutter license, so ask for proof of insurance.
What are Summit Building & Roofing's hours, and do they do emergency roof repairs?
Google lists the office as open Monday to Friday, 8:00 AM to 5:00 PM, and closed Saturday and Sunday. The company's website has an Emergency Roof Repairs link, but it does not state 24/7 availability, so call 614-665-7045 to confirm how fast a crew can respond to an active leak.
Does Summit Building & Roofing offer financing and which areas does it serve?
Yes, Summit Building & Roofing offers financing through national lending partners, with a rate check that the site says does not affect your credit score. It serves Columbus and suburbs including Bexley, Grandview Heights, Upper Arlington, Worthington, Gahanna, Dublin, Hilliard and Westerville, across Franklin and several nearby counties. The site does not publish warranty terms, so ask for them in writing.
