Roof Repair Before & After Photos

A newly purchased home presented its owner with a significant challenge—a major leak in the bathroom ceiling during heavy rain. Suspecting the issue might stem from an aging exhaust vent, the homeowner reached out for a solution to stop the water intrusion and prevent further damage. With the roof’s age unknown, we recommended replacing the rear slope of the home’s roof, where the problem was identified.

To provide a durable and long-lasting solution, we will install Dynasty Architectural Shingles in Granite Black, known for their heavy-duty design and sleek appearance. These shingles feature a larger nailing surface, tear-resistant Armour Zone strip, and Fastlock sealant, creating a stronger bond for maximum protection against leaks and weather damage. With a 130 MPH wind warranty and a weight of 231 pounds per square, they’re built to withstand harsh conditions while enhancing the home’s aesthetic. This targeted roof replacement will address the immediate issue, protect the home’s structure, and give the homeowner peace of mind for years to come.

When this homeowner from Bellefontaine, OH reached out to Klaus Larsen Roofing, she wasn’t just looking for a quote, she was searching for real solutions and peace of mind. Although her roof was only about seven years old, she had growing concerns about poor attic ventilation and signs of rodents in the insulation. After learning about our reputation for quality and care, she felt confident that our team could deliver results she could trust.

During our inspection, we discovered that her roof lacked proper ventilation along the ridge. We recommended installing IKO Driftshake ridge cap shingles to allow for improved airflow, helping to regulate attic temperatures and extend the roof's life. The Driftshake also blended seamlessly with the existing shingles, giving the home a clean, polished look.We also found sections of roof decking without proper Ice & Water barrier protection. To reinforce those areas, we installed KRS Velora 1 Synthetic Underlayment a tough, tear-resistant material designed to repel water and adhere tightly to the roof surface. This upgrade offered another layer of defense against the unpredictable Ohio weather.

Our crew completed a full tear-off of one existing roofing layer, carefully removing old materials and ensuring the site was clean. We used a magnetic roller to catch any stray nails and loaded all debris into a dumpster supplied by the contractor. Every detail mattered because leaving the property clean and safe is part of the Klaus Larsen Roofing commitment.On top of the ventilation and underlayment improvements, we also provided insight on insulation concerns to help the homeowner begin addressing a rodent issue. At Klaus Larsen Roofing, we look at the full picture of home health, not just what’s above the ceiling.

Backed by our 1-Year Repair Warranty, this project reflects the dedication, transparency, and craftsmanship we bring to every job. It’s not just roofing it’s the Klaus Larsen Roofing way.

Robert’s roof had been on his home for over 20 years and had begun to leak, causing him concern about potential water damage. Suspecting the flashing was the issue, he wanted a long-term solution to protect his home. He reached out to Klaus Larsen Roofing, choosing Castle Grey shingles with white drip metal for a fresh, modern look. Since he was also replacing his driveway, he requested that our team park on the grass to avoid any damage to the new surface. We carefully followed The Klaus Roofing Way, prioritizing quality and respect for his property throughout the project.

Our team removed the old shingles, confirmed that the flashing was indeed causing the leaks, and replaced it with high-quality materials. We installed the new Castle Grey shingles, which not only provided strong protection but also enhanced the home’s curb appeal. The white drip metal added a polished edge to the roof, giving it a sharp, finished look. Robert was thrilled with the result and appreciated our professionalism and care. With his new roof complete, he felt confident in the value and durability of his investment.

A homeowner in North Lewisburg, OH, contacted us to request a quote for replacing the roof on her home, as well as upgrading the attic insulation. The roof, currently tin and showing significant age, covers a 1.5-story portion of the house and its porches. While she hasn’t decided between asphalt or metal roofing, she is leaning toward a durable and stylish solution. In addition to the roof, the attic insulation in the 1.5-story section needs attention due to the presence of bat droppings and deteriorated materials.

The proposed project includes the removal of the existing tin roof, as well as any metal shakes. We will replace the roof with Dynasty Architectural Shingles in Monaco Red, which provide a tear-resistant Armour Zone strip, larger nailing surface, and Fastlock sealant for maximum protection. These shingles come with a 130 MPH wind warranty and are both heavy-duty and visually striking. For the porch roofs, we’ll apply a full layer of ice and water shield for added protection. Additional work includes installing 100 linear feet of flashing and counter flashing and replacing the 1/6 x 20 rakes with PVC board.

On the attic insulation side, we will remove the existing batted insulation, disinfect the area to address the bat droppings, and install new insulation to improve the home’s energy efficiency. This comprehensive overhaul will leave the homeowner with a cleaner, safer, and better-protected living space.
