Before: Doubt and Unexpected Claims After the Storm
After a hailstorm passed through Thornville, OH, a homeowner was approached by a door-to-door contractor claiming there was extensive damage to his roof. Unsure of the individual's credibility, the homeowner declined the offer and instead waited for guidance from his insurance company. Once advised to contact a reputable roofing contractor for a proper inspection, the homeowner reached out to Klaus Larsen Roofing for an honest and thorough assessment of the house, garage, and outbuilding.
During: Detailed Inspection and Professional Installation
Our team arrived on-site to conduct a full storm damage inspection, evaluating all structures for signs of hail-related wear. Upon confirming legitimate damage, we began the replacement process by removing the affected materials and preparing the surfaces for new installation. We applied IKO Dynasty shingles in Atlantic Blue, securing each with six ring shank roofing nails to prevent nail pops, shingle lift, or future blow-offs. Purpose-made hip and ridge shingles were added to all roof peaks for durability, and the existing vent pipe boot was replaced with a new 3" black Perma-Boot to properly seal the penetration.
After: A Reliable, Storm-Ready Roofing System
With all three structures restored, the homeowner now has a unified, high-performing roofing system built to withstand future storms. The Atlantic Blue shingles bring a clean, updated look, while the reinforced installation methods ensure long-term performance and peace of mind. What started as a questionable encounter ended with a trusted solution-delivered with transparency, precision, and the integrity of the Klaus Roofing Way.
