Before: Wind Damage and Active Leaks
After a severe windstorm hit Columbus, OH, the homeowner noticed missing shingles and active leaks developing inside the home. The roof's age was unknown, but the damage was clear and widespread. Asphalt shingles had been ripped away, leaving areas of the roof exposed to further water intrusion. A full inspection confirmed that both the main house and detached garage required replacement. Fortunately, the homeowner's insurance approved the project, setting the stage for a complete restoration.
During: Careful Removal and System Upgrades
Our team began by carefully removing the damaged roofing materials, including two full layers from the detached garage. On the main dwelling, we removed all box vents, properly sealed the openings, and upgraded the ventilation system with a ridge vent installation for better attic airflow. The existing satellite dish was safely removed and discarded. We also painted the furnace stack black to match the new roofing system, ensuring a seamless, professional appearance. Debris was neatly contained in a trailer parked beside the house, and materials were staged behind the fence, following the coordinated site plan.
After: A Fully Restored and Protected Property
With all work completed, the Columbus home now has a strong, resilient roofing system built to withstand future storms. The new ridge vent improves attic ventilation, while the fresh asphalt shingles restore both the home's protection and curb appeal. With no lingering storm damage and a meticulous cleanup, the property is fully restored-and the homeowner can move forward with confidence. Another project completed the right way the Klaus Larsen Roofing way.
