Roof replacement on a house and detached garage in Bexley, Ohio

Bexley, Ohio · March 2025

What we found and what we did

We inspected this Bexley roof in October 2024. It was roughly 18 to 20 years old, and the inspection found no storm damage. What it did find: chimney flashing that was in bad shape and had not been installed well, drip edge pulling loose at the roof edge with rotted wood showing behind it, and nail pops in the shingles. Instead of patching each problem, we recommended replacing the roof on the house and the detached garage with an Owens Corning Duration roofing system.

The homeowner signed on and was fine waiting for spring weather for the install. We applied to the City of Bexley for the job’s permit and had it in hand before the crew started. The garage has a rubber roof section that was left as it was; before scheduling, our project manager sent photos from the top of the garage to confirm where the new shingles tie into that rubber.

The crew installed the new roof, about 17 squares in all, in March 2025. The house and garage got new Owens Corning Duration shingles, new metal flashing stepped around the brick chimney, new gutter apron at the roof edges, and ridge vent with matching ridge cap along the peaks, with intake vent at the eaves. The crew also picked up new 1x8 and 1x12 boards on install day for the job.

Repair the chimney flashing or replace the roof?

A single bad chimney flashing on a newer roof can usually be repaired on its own. On this roof the flashing, the drip edge and the shingles were all near the end of their life at the same time, so one replacement handled all three, with the chimney reflashed into brand-new shingles. Because this was a complete Owens Corning system, the job was registered for the Owens Corning Platinum Protection warranty. It is Owens Corning-backed, with 25 years of non-prorated coverage.
