Roof replacement in Westerville
When the shingles are worn out across the roof, or the decking is soft in several areas, a replacement makes more sense than another repair. We tear off the old roof, replace any rotted decking we find, and install an Owens Corning shingle system; qualifying Owens Corning systems installed by a Platinum Preferred Contractor can carry the Owens Corning Platinum warranty with 25 years of non-prorated coverage. You get a written estimate with the scope spelled out before anything is signed. Our repair-or-replace guide explains how we make the call, and what sets the cost of a new roof in Ohio covers the factors in an estimate. See roof replacement in Westerville.
Roof repair in Westerville
Most of the Westerville leaks we fix start at a detail, not across the whole roof. At a sidewall flashing repair, water was showing up at the soffit behind the gutter; the gutter company traced it to the roof, and the crew repaired the flashing and shingles where the roof meets the wall. At a leak and rotted wood repair, an inside corner where two roof sections meet the house had rotted through the decking and fascia, so the crew cut out the rotted wood, installed new decking and shingled the corner back in. At a pipe boot replacement, two cracked vent boots were replaced. See roof repair in Westerville.
Skylight replacement in Westerville
Skylights fail two ways: the seal around the glass breaks down and fogs or leaks, or the flashing where the unit meets the roof wears out. On a Westerville skylight replacement, one of two skylights was leaking and both had glass problems, so the crew replaced both units and flashed and shingled them back in. See skylight replacement in Westerville.
Westerville homes and roofs
Westerville, home of Otterbein University, had 39,190 people at the 2020 census and spans Franklin and Delaware counties. Uptown Westerville has 1800s and early-1900s homes with steep roofs and chimneys, and newer neighborhoods spread out from there. Older homes bring chimneys, steep slopes and old flashing; newer homes bring more valleys, roof-to-wall joints and skylights. Those details are where we find most leaks.
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. After wind or hail, we inspect the roof, document damage with photos and work with any insurance adjuster; whether a claim is approved is up to your insurer. See storm and hail damage roof repair.
Permits, Uptown review and HOAs in Westerville
Westerville’s published list of residential work says replacing roof shingles and repairing or replacing roof sheathing do not need a building permit. Structural work such as rafters or trusses does, and homes in the Uptown review district need a Certificate of Appropriateness for exterior work. The Building Division is at 21 S. State Street.
If your home is in Uptown or in a neighborhood with an HOA, check the approval rules before choosing a new roof color or material. We give you product and color details to submit.

Why is water coming in at my soffit or ceiling corner?
Often the source is on the roof, where a roof section meets a wall or another roof. On one Westerville job, water at the soffit behind the gutter came from failed flashing where the roof met the wall above it.
