Hail claim roof replacement in Sunbury, Ohio

Sunbury, Ohio · September 2024

What we found and what we did

The homeowner asked us to inspect the roof on this two-story Sunbury-area home and also wanted larger gutters. The roof went through the homeowner’s insurance as a hail claim, and the adjuster’s estimate covered tearing off the old shingles and replacing the roof, including ice and water barrier, drip edge, ridge vent and new pipe flashings. The before photos show what the old roof looked like: worn shingles with dark streaking across the slopes and an aging ridge vent.

No building permit was needed for this re-roof. Roof replacements in Sunbury go through the Delaware County building rules, which do not require a permit for a standard roof replacement.

Our crew tore the roof off and installed about 28 squares of new Owens Corning Duration shingles in Estate Gray in September 2024. The new roofing system included Owens Corning Starter Strip Plus shingles at the edges, synthetic underlayment, ice and water barrier along the gutter edges, in the valleys and around every penetration and flashing, closed-cut valleys, black step flashing where the roof meets the walls, and white 1.5-inch drip edge. On top, about 91 feet of Owens Corning VentSure ridge vent with ProEdge hip and ridge shingles. After the roof was done, new 6-inch K-style gutters with 3x4 downspouts went on in white.

What a hail claim replacement looks like

Hail damage is hard to judge from the ground, and an older roof with streaking or worn granules can hide bruised shingles. On a claim like this one we inspect, document the roof for the adjuster, and then install the full scope the adjuster approved: here that meant shingles, underlayment, ice and water barrier, ridge vent, flashings and drip edge, not just the visible shingles. Your policy and your adjuster decide what is covered. When the work was complete we sent the insurance company a certificate of completion so the homeowner could close out the claim. 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.
