Before: A Historic Roof in Question
As the new homeowners prepared to purchase their historic home at 160 N Madison Rd in London, OH, their inspection revealed a potential roof leak. With the roof being over 100 years old and originally made of metal, it had undergone multiple patch jobs with asphalt shingles over the years. Concerned about its condition and longevity, they sought a professional assessment to determine whether repairs or a full replacement would be necessary. Given the urgency of their purchase timeline, they requested an estimate by January 10th to help guide their decision.
During: A Thorough Assessment and Expert Installation
After carefully inspecting the roof, we confirmed that a full replacement was the best course of action for long-term protection. The attic was examined in two sections-one accessible through an upstairs closet, while the other, above the downstairs bathroom, remained inaccessible. Once the plan was finalized, we began the process of removing the deteriorated roofing materials, ensuring that the structure underneath was stable. We then installed Dynasty Architectural Shingles in Granite Black, a premium option known for its durability. These shingles feature a tear-resistant Armour Zone strip, Fastlock sealant, and a larger nailing surface, providing superior protection with a 130 MPH wind warranty.
After: A Secure and Stunning New Roof
With the new roof in place, the home now has a sleek, weather-resistant covering that will stand the test of time. The Dynasty Architectural Shingles in Granite Black not only enhance the home's curb appeal but also provide long-lasting security against the elements. The new homeowners can move forward with confidence, knowing their investment is well protected. This project successfully transformed an aging, patched roof into a structurally sound and visually striking feature of their historic home.
