Before: Signs of Wear and Underlying Issues
The homeowner in Blacklick, OH reached out after noticing signs of age and possible structural concerns with their existing roof. The roof had one layer of asphalt shingles, but with its age unknown and signs of wear showing, it was clear the system had reached the end of its useful life. Leaks, loose shingles, and concerns about decking condition made it the right time to pursue a full roof replacement. The homeowner wanted a solution that would not only restore protection to the home but also offer long-term peace of mind.
During: A Detailed, High-Standard Replacement Process
Our team began by removing the old roofing materials and thoroughly cleaning the site with magnetic rollers to catch stray nails. We inspected and resecured the roof decking, replacing damaged sheathing with new 7/16" OSB where necessary. Protective layers were installed, including two rows of Sealoron XT Ice & Water Barrier and KRS Velora 1 Synthetic Underlayment. Every joint was sealed with modified bitumen tape, and white aluminum drip edge and rake metal were secured with precision. We installed purpose-made IKO starter shingles, Dynasty Architectural Shingles (color to be selected), and matching hip and ridge shingles. A new Shingle Vent II ridge vent and black 3" Perma-Boot ensured proper ventilation and pipe protection, while aluminum flashing around the chimney sealed off potential leak points.
After: A Durable, Clean, and Seamless Finish
Once completed, the home was left with a high-performance roofing system built to withstand the elements. The homeowner now has a structurally sound roof with reinforced decking, advanced water barriers, and shingles rated for 130 MPH winds. The clean lines of the white edge metals paired with a modern shingle color brought a fresh new look to the home's exterior. From clean-up to craftsmanship, every detail was handled the Klaus Larsen Roofing way-leaving the home protected, polished, and ready for years of worry-free performance.
