Upper Arlington Roofing Company You Can Trust

Upper Arlington's architecturally significant homes demand roofing contractors who truly understand historic preservation—and the wrong choice can damage both your property and its value. With over 900 historically contributing structures in the National Register Historic District alone, UA roof replacements require expertise most contractors simply don't have.

The Tudor Revival homes that define Old Arlington weren't built with modern roofing in mind. Their steep pitches, multiple gables, half-timbered facades, and intricate valleys create some of the most challenging roof systems in Central Ohio. Improper work on these 1920s-1940s homes can damage irreplaceable architectural details, compromise historic character, and create leaks that go undetected until expensive interior damage has already occurred.

Original slate roofs and decorative copper work on UA homes require specialized knowledge. Many contractors don't know how to repair slate properly—leading to more damage, not less. If your historic Upper Arlington home needs roof repair, choosing the wrong roofers can cost you far more than the initial savings.

Beyond the Historic District, the Tremont, Kingsdale, and Northam Park areas feature post-war homes with their own hidden risks. These mid-century ranches often have original ventilation systems that don't meet current codes—and outdated ventilation can void manufacturer warranties and accelerate shingle deterioration. If your roof hasn't been inspected recently, problems may already be developing that you can't see from the ground.

Upper Arlington's extensive mature tree canopy creates constant challenges—falling branches, accumulated debris, and moss growth that traps moisture against your shingles. After decades of exposure, hidden damage is more common than most homeowners realize.

Whether you need storm damage roof repair, a full roof replacement, or a free inspection to understand what you're dealing with, DiYanni Roofing is the roofing company Upper Arlington homeowners trust. Get your free estimate today—give us a call or fill out our form to get started.

Upper Arlington Roofing FAQs

Absolutely. Tudor Revival homes are a signature of Upper Arlington, and we have extensive experience with their challenging rooflines, steep pitches, multiple gables, decorative half-timbering, and intricate valley work. We use specialized safety equipment and installation techniques suited to these historic architectural styles.

The Historic District (South of Lane/Old Arlington) is listed on the National Register of Historic Places. While this doesn't mandate specific roofing materials, the community encourages maintaining historic character. We help homeowners select shingles and materials that complement period architecture while meeting modern performance standards.

Original slate roofs on UA homes can last 75-100+ years with proper maintenance. We offer slate repair services to extend your roof's life. If replacement is needed, options include premium synthetic slate or high-quality architectural shingles selected to complement your home's historic character.

Roof replacement in Upper Arlington typically costs $20,000-$50,000 for most homes. Upper Arlington's historic Tudor and Colonial homes often feature complex rooflines with multiple valleys and dormers. 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 Upper Arlington 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 Upper Arlington 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.
