Before: Aging Roof and Structural Concerns
The property in Columbus, OH had an aging asphalt shingle roof, with the exact age unknown. While there were no immediate reports of leaking, an inspection revealed that the existing decking consisted of spaced plank boards-an outdated method that would not properly support a modern roofing system. The homeowner recognized the need for a full replacement but also requested that installation be delayed until temperatures were consistently in the 50s to ensure proper shingle adhesion and performance. With thoughtful planning and attention to seasonal conditions, the project was scheduled for early spring.
During: Careful Coordination and Structural Upgrades
Once the weather allowed, our team carefully coordinated all logistics with the homeowner and tenants. Tenants parked on the street to leave the driveway clear for the dumpster and crew vehicles. Materials were delivered and staged in a designated area behind the building. Our crew began by laying down a new layer of solid decking over the existing spaced boards to create a strong foundation. Every step of the installation was performed with precision, using weather-appropriate materials and techniques to guarantee the roof's durability and performance.
After: A Stronger, Weather-Resistant Roofing System
After the project was completed, the property was equipped with a fully updated and reliable roofing system. The new solid decking provided a stable base, and the new shingles offered both enhanced protection and improved appearance. Thanks to proper scheduling, careful execution, and clear communication with the homeowner and tenants, the project was completed smoothly and without disruption. This Columbus property is now protected by a high-quality roofing system installed the Klaus Larsen Roofing way.
