What We See on Gahanna Roofs
- Moss and dark algae streaks on shaded, north-facing slopes
- Valleys and gutters packed with leaves and seed pods
- Soft fascia and roof edges where water has backed up
- Original siding from the 1970s–90s that’s faded or cracked
Roofs Under the Trees
A lot of Gahanna was built between the 1960s and 1990s, and the trees planted then — plus the woods along Big Walnut Creek — now shade many roofs. Shade keeps slopes damp, which invites moss and algae. Leaves fill the valleys and gutters, water backs up, and the roof edge starts to rot.
So on Gahanna roofs we pay close attention to valleys, drip edge and fascia, and we’ll talk with you about trimming back branches that hang over the roof before new shingles go on.
New Siding
Many Gahanna homes of that era are ready for new siding, too. We install vinyl, fiber cement and engineered wood over fresh house wrap, with windows and doors properly flashed — and we can do it together with your new roof.
