Tomba Construction: Local Roofing Services Serving Columbus, OH 43085

During a roof replacement, we don't just swap shingles. We start by fully removing the old roof and inspecting the decking for water damage from failed underlayment. We then install a new, high-quality synthetic underlayment that provides superior protection against Columbus's rain and snow. This foundational step is critical to preventing leaks and extending the life of your new roof.

It depends on the extent of the issue. Often, poor ventilation can be corrected with a repair. We can assess your current system—checking soffit vents, ridge vents, and attic airflow—and make targeted improvements, like adding new vents or clearing blockages. If the roof structure itself is compromised or very old, a replacement might be the better long-term solution to integrate a modern, efficient ventilation system.

For a new installation, ensure it includes a balanced ventilation system designed for our local climate. We recommend and install a combination of intake vents (typically at the soffits) and exhaust vents (at the ridge) to create continuous airflow. This system helps regulate attic temperature year-round, preventing winter ice dams and summer overheating, which protects your shingles and improves energy efficiency.
