Delaware Roofing Company You Can Trust
Delaware spans over 200 years of construction—from historic Victorians near Ohio Wesleyan to brand-new subdivisions—and every era brings hidden roofing risks that most homeowners don't see until damage has already occurred.
Near downtown and Ohio Wesleyan's campus, 19th-century homes feature original slate roofs, decorative metalwork, and complex roof lines that require specialized expertise. Improper work on these historic structures can damage irreplaceable architectural details and create leaks that spread through walls and ceilings before you notice them. If your Victorian or Federal-era home needs roof repair, choosing the wrong roofers can cost you far more than the initial savings.

Delaware spans over 200 years of construction—from historic Victorians near Ohio Wesleyan to brand-new subdivisions—and every era brings hidden roofing risks that most homeowners don't see until damage has already occurred.
Near downtown and Ohio Wesleyan's campus, 19th-century homes feature original slate roofs, decorative metalwork, and complex roof lines that require specialized expertise. Improper work on these historic structures can damage irreplaceable architectural details and create leaks that spread through walls and ceilings before you notice them. If your Victorian or Federal-era home needs roof repair, choosing the wrong roofers can cost you far more than the initial savings.
The subdivisions built during Delaware County's growth surge—The Landings at Spring Harbor, Summerfields, Spring Valley, and others—are now 10-25 years old. Original builder-grade roofs from this era are approaching or have exceeded their expected lifespan. If your shingles haven't been inspected recently, hidden deterioration may already be developing. Many homeowners don't realize their warranty has conditions until they try to file a claim after damage occurs.
Properties near the Olentangy River and Alum Creek State Park face elevated humidity that accelerates shingle wear and promotes algae growth. If you've noticed dark streaks on your roof, the damage may already be spreading to the deck underneath.
With Intel's semiconductor facility driving Delaware County's continued growth, property values will keep rising. Protecting your investment with proper roof maintenance has never been more important. Hidden damage now can cost you significantly more—both in repair costs and reduced property value—if left unaddressed.

Delaware Roofing FAQs
While Delaware doesn't have mandatory historic preservation requirements for most residential properties, homeowners in the historic downtown area often want materials that complement their home's period character. We help select shingles and materials that maintain aesthetic consistency with Victorian and Federal-era architecture while meeting modern performance standards.
Yes, the City of Delaware Building & Zoning Department requires permits for roof replacement. Contact them at (740) 203-1500 or visit their office at 1 South Sandusky Street. Properties outside city limits fall under Delaware County jurisdiction, we verify which applies to your address.
Properties near Alum Creek, the Olentangy River, or other waterways may experience higher humidity levels than dryer locations. This can promote algae growth and affect roofing material longevity. We recommend algae-resistant shingles and careful attention to attic ventilation for homes in these areas.
Roof replacement in Delaware typically costs $12,000-$35,000 for most homes. Your exact price depends on roof size, pitch, material choice (architectural vs. designer shingles), and any deck repairs needed. We provide free, itemized estimates with no hidden fees.
Yes. DiYanni Roofing is fully licensed and insured in Ohio. We carry comprehensive liability insurance and workers' compensation coverage to protect your property and our crews. Our family has been in construction since 1979, with four generations of building experience in Central Ohio.
Most roof replacements in Delaware 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 Delaware 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.
