Old Towne East Roofing Experts

Old Towne East contains more architectural variety than any other Columbus neighborhood. Over 1,000 homes representing 50+ styles, some dating to the 1830s. When these roofs need work, you can't use a one-size-fits-all approach.

The Bryden Road Historic District showcases the neighborhood's most impressive homes. Victorian mansions, Queen Anne beauties, and Italianate gems line these streets. Roofing work on these properties requires understanding both the specific demands of each architectural style and the historic preservation standards that protect them. A roofer who treats a Queen Anne turret like a standard hip roof will damage irreplaceable features.

Old Towne East is in the midst of ongoing restoration. Many homes sat neglected for decades before new owners began bringing them back. If you've purchased an Old Towne East fixer-upper, roof work is often the first major project. But it needs to coordinate with future restoration plans. The wrong roofing choices now can complicate window replacement, masonry repair, and other work later.

The age of Old Towne East homes creates additional challenges. Roof structures have been modified over 100+ years. Original wood sheathing may be rotted. Previous repairs may have used materials or techniques that don't meet current codes. A thorough inspection before any work begins is essential.

Whether your Old Towne East home is a grand Victorian near Franklin Park, a modest workers' cottage on a side street, or anything in between, DiYanni Roofing provides the expertise these historic homes deserve. Get your free Old Towne East roof inspection today.

Old Towne East Roofing FAQs

Bryden Road is a designated Historic District with formal preservation requirements. Other sections of Old Towne East may have preservation considerations without formal designation. DiYanni Roofing can determine the historic status of your specific property and what requirements apply.

We start with thorough inspection of the roof structure, not just the surface. Original wood sheathing may need replacement. Framing may have been modified over the decades. We identify these issues before starting work so there are no surprises during your project.

Yes. For homes with slate, specialty shingles, or other period-appropriate materials, we source matching products or approved alternatives. We understand that roofing on a Victorian home needs to complement the architecture, not just cover it.

Usually, yes. A sound roof protects all the other restoration work below it. However, roof work should coordinate with your overall restoration plan. We can discuss how roofing fits into your project timeline and whether any preliminary work is needed first.

Old Towne East roof costs vary widely based on home size, architectural complexity, and material requirements. Simple roofs start around $12,000, while complex Victorian rooflines with specialty materials can exceed $40,000. We provide free detailed estimates for all Old Towne East homes.

Most roof replacements in Old Towne East are completed in 1-2 days. Larger or more complex roofs may take 3 days. We schedule work based on weather forecasts to avoid delays and ensure proper installation. We'll give you a specific timeline during your estimate.

We recommend architectural shingles rated for 130+ mph winds for Old Towne East homes. Central Ohio's freeze-thaw cycles, summer storms, and occasional hail require durable materials. Architectural shingles outperform 3-tab shingles in our climate and typically last 25-30 years with proper ventilation.

If damage is limited to one area and your roof is under 15 years old, repairs often make sense. If you have multiple problem areas, frequent leaks, or your roof is 15+ years old, replacement is usually more cost-effective. We provide honest assessments and never push unnecessary work.

Key warning signs include: shingles that are curling, cracking, or missing; granules collecting in gutters; water stains on ceilings; visible daylight through attic boards; and a roof over 20 years old. If you notice any of these, schedule a free inspection.

First, we protect your property with tarps and boards. Then we remove old shingles down to the deck, inspect for damage, replace any rotted wood, install underlayment and ice guard, then new shingles. Finally, we do a thorough cleanup with magnetic nail sweeps.
