Before: Failing Roof and Visible Wear
Before work began, the detached garage in Columbus, OH showed signs of significant roof wear. The old asphalt shingles were faded and curling in areas, and there were clear signs of deterioration that had worsened after recent wind storms. With two existing layers and storm-related damage, the structure was no longer adequately protected, prompting the homeowner to move forward with a full roof replacement through their insurance provider.
During: Full Tear-Off and Deck Preparation
The crew began by removing both layers of the old roofing system, revealing the underlying deck. As shown in the mid-project photo, the team laid down a fresh synthetic underlayment and prepared the new decking surface to ensure proper support for the new shingle system. All box vents were removed, the openings were plugged, and new ridge ventilation was planned for the main home. The work was executed with care and coordination, including strategic placement of the debris trailer beside the house and staging of materials in the backyard.
After: A Clean, Durable Finish
The completed garage roof showcases a clean, professional finish with new architectural shingles and white edge metal that ties in with the overall property aesthetic. The trash satellite dish was removed as requested, and the furnace stack was painted black to match the new roof. With the storm damage fully addressed, the garage is now better protected and visually refreshed-an excellent result that reflects the quality and attention to detail delivered by Klaus Larsen Roofing.
