Roof Repair Before & After Photos

A homeowner in Columbus, Ohio, recently discovered water damage near their chimney while going through the refinancing process. The house, built in 1926, has a roof that is about 10 years old, but it’s unclear how long the leak has been an issue. Concerned about potential long-term damage, they reached out to have the problem properly assessed and repaired. Upon inspection, we found that the chimney flashing had begun to deteriorate, allowing water to seep in over time. Rather than risking further interior damage, the homeowner decided to move forward with a permanent solution. Following the Klaus Roofing way, we ensured that every step of the process was done with precision and long-lasting results in mind.

To resolve the issue, we will remove the chimney down to the roof level, apply new plywood, and install Dynasty Architectural Shingles in Atlantic Blue to create a durable and seamless repair. The interior portion of the chimney will remain intact to maintain the home's original structure. Additionally, we will install a Smart Vent system along the eaves to enhance attic ventilation, ensuring better airflow and long-term protection for the roof. Our team will also inspect the surrounding roof area for any additional weak spots or moisture concerns to prevent future leaks. By using high-quality materials like the tear-resistant Armour Zone strip and Fastlock sealant, we are providing maximum protection against the elements. With our 50-year transferable warranty, the homeowner can feel confident that their roof is built to last.

Klaus Larsen Roofing recently repaired a 2-year-old asphalt roof where two shingles had come loose on the south side. The customer also reported that the flashing in one area was coming off, which required attention to prevent leaks. Our team replaced the missing shingles, ensuring a perfect match, and secured the loose flashing. These quick repairs helped restore the roof to its original condition, preventing potential damage. The customer was satisfied with the efficient service and the restored look of their roof.

A past customer reached out to us for a roof repair after discovering an issue while preparing for a paint job. When the crown molding was pulled off the front left section of the roof, deterioration was uncovered beneath it, prompting the need for immediate attention to prevent further damage.

To address the problem, we sealed the rake with ice and weather shield to provide an effective barrier against water infiltration. We then installed an ice and water membrane in accordance with KRS specifications. This included applying six feet of protection at the eaves, wrapping onto the fascia, 18 inches on either side of valleys, along all side walls, and around roof penetrations for comprehensive coverage. For the remaining decking areas not covered by the ice and water barrier, we installed KRS Velora 1 Synthetic Underlayment. This durable, tear-resistant material is engineered to repel water and adhere securely to the roofing surface, ensuring added protection.

This repair not only addressed the deterioration but also reinforced the integrity of the roof, leaving the homeowner confident their property is now better equipped to handle the elements.

Customer received recommendations for a leak near her chimney. Klaus roofing suggested Drift Shakes Shingles, White Metal (Standard), and Cricket for Large Chimney.

The homeowner contacted Klaus Larsen Roofing for a quote to replace her aging roof. While she didn’t know the exact age of the roof, she noted it was old and in need of replacement. Concerned about ensuring her home was well-protected, she was eager to explore options for a durable and modern roofing solution.

Our team scheduled an inspection to assess the roof’s condition and provide recommendations for materials and installation. Following The Klaus Roofing Way, we evaluated the structure to ensure a thorough understanding of the project requirements. We discussed high-quality shingle options with the homeowner, tailoring recommendations to meet her preferences and budget.

The homeowner appreciated the clear communication and expertise provided during the

consultation. With a plan in place, she felt confident in moving forward, knowing her new roof would enhance both the protection and appearance of her home. This project exemplifies The Klaus Roofing Way’s commitment to quality, transparency, and customer satisfaction.
