Before: Ceiling Leaks Signal Roofing Failure
The homeowner in Columbus, OH began noticing water stains and damage forming on the ceiling above the living room. With the roof estimated to be 10 to 15 years old, it was showing signs of age and wear. Though the shingles still appeared intact in some areas, the water intrusion made it clear that the underlayment and sealant had likely begun to fail. Concerned about further damage and indoor air quality, the homeowner reached out to Klaus Larsen Roofing for a full evaluation and solution.
During: Reinforcement with Sealoron XT and Summit Gray Shingles
Our team began by removing the existing roofing materials and inspecting the decking for hidden moisture damage. Once prepped, we installed Klaus Roofing Systems' Sealoron XT Ice and Water Membrane placing 6 feet at the eaves, wrapping it onto the fascia, adding 18 inches along valleys, and applying it around all penetrations and wall intersections. With the base sealed, we applied Dynasty Architectural Shingles in Summit Gray, chosen for their strength, durability, and curb appeal. Every shingle was secured with precision, using a six-nail installation to meet wind protection standards and ensure long-term performance.
After: A Leak-Free Home with Lasting Protection
With the new roof system in place, the living room is now fully protected from the water intrusion that previously threatened the interior. The Summit Gray shingles not only add a clean, modern finish to the exterior but are also backed by a 130 MPH wind warranty and ArmourZone tear resistance. Thanks to the detailed installation and advanced underlayment, the homeowner now has a roof designed to withstand Ohio weather for years to come. What was once a growing interior concern is now resolved with craftsmanship and care the Klaus Larsen Roofing way.
