FAQ: What’s the Process for a Shingle Roof Replacement?

If you’re a homeowner in Columbus, Powell, Dublin, or any of the surrounding areas, and you're thinking about replacing your shingle roof, here's exactly what to expect from The Roof Champion of Columbus.

The Process: Step-by-Step

We’ve replaced hundreds of roofs across Central Ohio, and every project follows the same reliable, efficient process:

1. Free Inspection & Detailed Estimate

We start with a no-pressure, no-obligation inspection.

You’ll receive a written estimate with photos and clear breakdowns so you know what’s going on—and why it matters.

2. Scheduling the Work

Once you’re ready, we’ll lock in a day that works for you. Most replacements are completed in one day.

You don’t have to chase us—we show up when we say we will.

3. Tear-Off and Decking Inspection

We completely tear off the old shingles and underlayment.

Then we inspect the wood decking underneath. If anything’s damaged or rotten, we fix it first—because putting new shingles over bad decking is a shortcut we don’t take.

4. Install Underlayment, Flashing, and Components

We install:

• Ice & water shield in vulnerable areas

• Synthetic underlayment over the rest of the deck

• New flashing around chimneys, valleys, vents, and walls

• Proper attic ventilation per code

We build the system to last, not just to pass inspection.

5. Shingle Installation

We install your new shingles using:

• Manufacturer-approved fasteners

• Starter strips, ridge cap, and hip shingles for a full-system warranty

We use only top-rated products from trusted manufacturers like Owens Corning and IKO.

6. Site Cleanup & Final Walkthrough

Once the roof is on, we:

• Clean up all debris

• Run magnets to catch hidden nails

• Show you before, during, and after photos of your roof

Then we walk the property with you to answer questions and confirm everything’s right.

Why Homeowners Trust Us

Here’s what Aeron Wade had to say:

“What isn’t bought is character, professionalism, and care. That’s why I chose Travis and The Roof Champion.”

We don't just install shingles—we protect homes and families.
