Raccoon Damage Threatens Roof Integrity in Columbus, OH
When a homeowner in Columbus, OH noticed signs of raccoon activity on the front slope of their roof right above the porch awning they knew it was time to call in the experts. The animals had torn a hole through the shingles and decking, exposing the home to potential water intrusion and long-term structural damage. The rest of the roof was in decent condition, but this localized area needed immediate attention. The homeowner reached out to Klaus Roofing of Ohio to assess the issue and recommend a targeted repair plan.
Careful Decking Replacement and Secure Shingle Installation
Our roof repair contractor team began by removing the damaged shingles and decking in the affected area. Although the quote included up to three sheets of OSB, only the required amount was used to ensure material efficiency. We then reinforced the area with a protective layer and applied Driftshake Dynasty Architectural Shingles. Known for their tear-resistant ArmourZone strip and Fastlock sealant, these heavy-duty shingles were installed with precision using 6-ring shank roofing nails to prevent future slipping or lifting.
Restored Protection and a Seamless Finish
With the repair completed, the damaged section now blends smoothly with the rest of the roof, both in appearance and performance. The new shingles match perfectly and restore full protection to the home's front slope, eliminating the risk of further water intrusion or animal reentry. The homeowner was relieved to have the issue resolved quickly and professionallyanother successful job delivered by Klaus Roofing of Ohio, your trusted roof repair contractor in Columbus.
