Leak, missing shingles or storm damage in Westerville? We find the cause first, fix what can be fixed, and tell you honestly when a repair is the smarter call than a new roof.

Common roof repairs we handle in Westerville

• Leaks at pipe boots, chimneys, skylights and wall flashing
• Wind-lifted or missing shingles and ridge caps

Weather that wears on Westerville roofs

Central Ohio roofs take freeze-thaw cycles, ice dams along cold eaves, spring hail and summer straight-line winds. When the remnants of Hurricane Ike crossed on September 14, 2008, the National Weather Service measured a 75 mph gust at Port Columbus, a few miles from our Gahanna office.
