Roof Repair Before & After Photos

A homeowner in Columbus, OH, reached out to Klaus Larsen Roofing after discovering an active leak in their roof. Unsure of the roof’s age or overall condition, they wanted a professional evaluation to determine whether a repair could resolve the issue or if a full roof replacement was necessary. Our team promptly scheduled an inspection to assess the damage and pinpoint the source of the leak.

During the inspection, we conducted a comprehensive evaluation of the roof, checking for worn shingles, water damage, and structural concerns while ensuring no hidden issues were overlooked. Once the assessment was complete, we provided the homeowner with clear recommendations—whether a targeted repair would suffice or if replacing the roof entirely would ensure long-term durability and protection. At Klaus Larsen Roofing, we pride ourselves on delivering honest, reliable advice and high-quality solutions to safeguard homes and restore peace of mind.

Customer received recommendations for a leak near her chimney. Klaus roofing suggested Drift Shakes Shingles, White Metal (Standard), and Cricket for Large Chimney.

When this homeowner noticed water leaking through their kitchen ceiling and into the attic, they knew it was time to address the problem. Having recently moved in last February, they weren’t sure about the roof’s age or condition, but the persistent leaks demanded immediate attention. Concerned about protecting their new home, they reached out for a solution tailored to their needs.

During the evaluation, our team identified issues with both the roof and the chimney as likely sources of the leaks. We worked with the homeowner to plan a roof replacement that would not only resolve the leaks but also enhance the home’s overall durability and curb appeal. The homeowner selected Castle Grey shingles paired with white drip metal for a clean, timeless look.

This project focused on delivering long-term peace of mind for the homeowner. The updated roof with premium materials ensured their home would be well-protected, while the cohesive design aligned with their aesthetic preferences. The result was a watertight, beautiful new roof that turned a stressful situation into a lasting improvement.

The homeowner contacted Klaus Larsen Roofing for a quote to replace her aging roof. While she didn’t know the exact age of the roof, she noted it was old and in need of replacement. Concerned about ensuring her home was well-protected, she was eager to explore options for a durable and modern roofing solution.

Our team scheduled an inspection to assess the roof’s condition and provide recommendations for materials and installation. Following The Klaus Roofing Way, we evaluated the structure to ensure a thorough understanding of the project requirements. We discussed high-quality shingle options with the homeowner, tailoring recommendations to meet her preferences and budget.

The homeowner appreciated the clear communication and expertise provided during the

consultation. With a plan in place, she felt confident in moving forward, knowing her new roof would enhance both the protection and appearance of her home. This project exemplifies The Klaus Roofing Way’s commitment to quality, transparency, and customer satisfaction.

A homeowner on the east side of Columbus, OH, contacted us after discovering significant damage caused by a raccoon in their attic. The animal had torn off sections of the sheathing from the inside, leading to a leak. While the homeowner attempted an interior fix, they needed a professional assessment and repair from the outside. Their immediate priority was to have the damaged area tarped if possible, and they inquired about potential senior citizen or veteran discounts.

For the repair, we replaced the back slope using IKO Frostone Grey shingles, with the homeowner understanding that it would not match the front slope. To ensure long-term durability and protection, we applied an ice and water membrane according to KRS specifications—6 feet at eaves wrapped onto the fascia, 18 inches on either side of valleys, and around all roof penetrations. We also installed KRS Velora 1 Synthetic Underlayment on all decking areas without ice and water barriers, providing a tear-resistant, water-repelling layer. To further reinforce the roof, we added brown F-8 aluminum drip edge flashing along all eaves, sealing it with 4-inch modified Bitumen tape to prevent water backup in the event of ice dams. With these repairs, the homeowner can rest assured that their roof is now properly sealed and protected from further damage.
