Wind Damage Roof Replacement in Lancaster OH

Wind damage has a way of forcing your hand. One bad storm and suddenly you're dealing with missing shingles, exposed decking, and an insurance claim you weren't expecting. That's exactly where this Lancaster, OH homeowner found themselves - and we were glad to step in and get it handled.

We went with CertainTeed Landmark Pro shingles in Resawn Shake for this one. It's a solid architectural shingle with a dimensional, wood-shake look that works really well on a brick home like this. The warm brown tones tie into the brick exterior without competing with it. The finished product looks like it was always supposed to be there.

Along with the new shingles, we installed all new clay-colored flashing metal throughout. Flashing doesn't get talked about enough - it's the detail work around edges, valleys, and transitions that keeps water out long-term. Getting that color right matters too. The clay tone pulls everything together and gives the roofline a clean, finished look instead of the standard gray metal most people end up with.

The whole job was handled through the homeowner's insurance claim. We work with insurance companies regularly, so we know how to document damage properly and make sure nothing gets left off the claim. That process can feel overwhelming if you haven't done it before - having someone in your corner who knows what adjusters look for makes a real difference.

Gutters are still coming on this one, which will wrap up the full exterior protection package. If your roof took a hit from recent storms, getting a professional set of eyes on it sooner rather than later is always the smart move. Storm damage doesn't always show up as missing shingles - sometimes it's subtle granule loss or compromised flashing that only gets worse over time.
