FAQs
What is involved in a professional roof inspection for my Columbus home?
Our inspections are thorough and informed by decades of expertise, including Haag Engineering certification. We don't just look at shingles; we check for underlying issues common in our climate, like roof decking rot from trapped moisture or improper attic ventilation. For slate and tile roofs, we assess fastener integrity and individual piece condition. You'll receive a detailed report with clear photos and prioritized recommendations, whether it's a simple repair or a discussion about your full range of options.
My gutters are overflowing during heavy rains. What solutions do you offer?
Overflowing gutters in Columbus are often due to undersized systems, clogs, or improper pitch. We assess the entire water management system. This can include cleaning and adjusting existing gutters, repairing separations at seams, or installing a correctly sized replacement system with adequate downspouts. For lasting protection, we expertly integrate new copper or metal gutters with your roof's flashing to prevent water from backing up under the roof edge, which is a common cause of decking rot.
Can you handle both repair and full replacement of a historic slate roof?
Absolutely. With our specialized history working on buildings like the Ohio Governor's Mansion, we are equipped for all levels of slate work. For repairs, we source and shape matching slate to seamlessly address damaged areas. When a full replacement is necessary, we utilize time-tested techniques and materials to preserve aesthetic and historical integrity, while also upgrading underlayment and ventilation for modern performance. Our consultation will always aim to extend the life of your existing roof when possible.
