A Columbus, OH, homeowner contacted Klaus Larsen Roofing to address leaks in their home. Water was intruding around the chimney in the living room and on the open porch, raising concerns about the integrity of their aging roof, which was at least seven years old and likely older. They needed a reliable solution to prevent further damage and enhance their home’s protection.
We installed RainDrop Gutter Protection on the property, using its proprietary blend of durable polypropylene and UV stabilizers. This system features a "Flex-Flange" design, making it adaptable for various situations, ensuring debris resistance and maintaining proper water flow.
We also provided information about the benefits of installing a complete Klaus Roofing System, which includes a 50-year workmanship warranty. This transferable warranty adds lasting value and reassurance for the homeowner or any future owner. These improvements addressed the homeowner’s current issues and equipped their home with durable, long-term protection.
A homeowner in Columbus, OH, reached out for a roof replacement after noticing possible wind damage and loose shingles on their 25-year-old asphalt roof. While some areas of the roof were still intact, they opted to replace the roof only on the main dwelling, excluding the detached structure and the one-story section at the back of the house.
For this installation, we applied Dynasty Architectural Shingles in Summit Gray, a high-performance roofing system designed for durability and long-term protection. These shingles feature a larger nailing surface, a tear-resistant Armour Zone strip, and Fastlock sealant, creating a strong bond that offers maximum defense against high winds up to 130 MPH. With this upgrade, the homeowner now has a reliable, weather-resistant roof that enhances both the function and aesthetic of their home.
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.
