Klaus Roofing of Ohio Before & After Photos

A before and after look at a garage roof replacement in Columbus, OH. The Klaus Roofing services include various measures to ensure a robust and long-lasting roofing system. We reinforce the roof decking to enhance its structural integrity, providing a solid foundation. To safeguard against leaks, wind, and ice dams, we utilize durable synthetic underlayment and fully adhered membrane. Our high-performance asphalt shingles are designed to withstand winds of up to 130 mph, effectively preventing blow-off and wind lift. With a wide range of shingle colors available, we can match the aesthetic of any home style. Additionally, we offer roofing accessories that provide added protection to vulnerable areas such as edges, corners, and seams, including hip and ridge cap shingles and flashing. These comprehensive measures ensure a secure and resilient roofing solution for your home, or in this case, garage. 

We have successfully replaced a short board length with a new one, securely fastened onto the framing behind it. To enhance water drainage from the roof, we have also added edge metal. It is important to note that during the previous roof replacement, edge metal should have been installed along the entire perimeter of your roof to ensure optimal performance.

Klaus Roofing of Ohio recently met with Dave, a new homeowner, to inspect his hipped roof and gutters. There was no attic access, but the roof had one chimney and a Permaboot. We discussed replacing the cap vents with a ridge vent for better ventilation. Dave was shown various options and the full roofing process, along with pricing details. He mentioned he had contacted no other contractors and didn’t plan to. While happy with the price, Dave requested a couple of days to think it over, as he had just purchased the home six months ago. We were able to complete the job leaving Dave very satisfied with his purchase. 

A homeowner contacted Klaus Roofing Systems of Ohio about ongoing roof issues over the past 10 years. The roof had been leaking in the master bathroom, and there were several soft spots she feared would worsen over time. About nine years ago, roofing had been installed, but leaks persisted around the boot vent, and past repairs, including flashing work, had not fully solved the problem.

Our team conducted an inspection and found that two sections of the roof, totaling 953 square feet, were particularly affected. There was concern that the soft spots would cause further deterioration of the TPO membrane. We explained that when pulling back the rubber membrane, some of the underlying wood may need to be replaced. Accessing the roof required a second ladder, about 20 feet long, which the homeowner helped to provide. We could also access the roof from the garage with a ladder to inspect the upper levels. The team is now prepared to replace any damaged wood, address the leaks around the boot vent, and reinforce the overall structure to prevent future leaks. At Klaus Roofing Systems of Ohio, we focus on long-lasting, reliable solutions to keep our customers' homes protected.
