A homeowner in Columbus, OH, reached out for an inspection of his 20-year-old roof, which has a leak he temporarily patched. In addition to addressing the leak, he is concerned about the carport area, which is currently covered with a rubber roofing material. The wood underneath is not exterior-grade and has begun to deteriorate, prompting him to seek a professional assessment to determine the best course of action.
Our plan includes replacing the existing roof with a new asphalt and EPDM roofing system, ensuring durability and long-term protection. For the carport, we will evaluate the extent of the wood deterioration and determine the best approach for reinforcing or replacing the structure before installing the new roofing material. Additionally, the homeowner requested Raindrop Gutter Guards to be added to the existing house gutters, helping to prevent clogs and improve water drainage. The new roof will feature Cornerstone Shingles, offering enhanced strength and curb appeal. This comprehensive project will provide lasting protection for both the main house and the carport area.
New Seamless Gutters Bring Curb Appeal and Confidence in Columbus, OH
In Columbus, OH, a homeowner recognized that their aging gutter system was no longer doing its job. With visible signs of wear and ongoing drainage issues, they partnered with Klaus Larsen Roofing to install a fully updated solution. Our team removed the existing gutters and downspouts and installed 102 feet of new KHF seamless gutters in a crisp Cream color. The system was designed for efficient water flow with 65 feet of 3x4 downspouts, 13-A and 2-B elbows, and 5 wide mouth outlets to prevent clogs and overflows. Two tie-ins—one in the front and one in the back were added to ensure balanced water distribution. With the upgraded gutter system now in place, the home not only looks cleaner and more refined, but it’s also better protected from the effects of heavy rain.
This roof was rotted through to the decking. Our team replaced 44 sheets of plywood, put down a protective layer of ice and water shield, and then finished the job with brand new IKO Dynasty shingles.
The Klaus Roofing team, led by Project Manager Lamont Martin installed IKO Cambridge shingles in charcoal gray. The entire project took less than a day. The homeowner was thrilled with the result.
