Before & After Photos

After a strong wind storm rolled through Columbus, OH, a cautious homeowner decided it was time to take a closer look at their aging roof. They had moved in seven years ago and remembered the home inspector warning them that the roof, already over a decade old at the time, had maybe ten years left. With no visible leaks but a growing sense that it was time for action, they turned to Klaus Larsen Roofing for a trusted inspection. Our team responded promptly, performing a full assessment and identifying early signs of wear like lifted shingles and granule loss—signs that can lead to bigger problems if ignored. We walked the homeowner through their options with patience and honesty, recommending Dynasty Architectural Shingles in Glacier for their unmatched durability and weather resistance. It’s all part of the Klaus Roofing Way: delivering peace of mind through reliable solutions, clear communication, and craftsmanship that stands up to Ohio’s toughest storms. Now, the homeowner is confidently planning their roof replacement, knowing they’ve got a team behind them they can truly trust.

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.

The decking on this roof was rotted and falling through into the attic. Our team repaired the damaged. 

This roof was rotted through to the decking. Our team replaced 44 sheets of plywood, put down a protective layer of ice and water shield, and then finished the job with brand new IKO Dynasty shingles.

The Klaus Roofing team, led by Project Manager Lamont Martin installed IKO Cambridge shingles in charcoal gray. The entire project took less than a day. The homeowner was thrilled with the result.
