Roofing Tips
How do I know if I have roof problems?
The roof on your house is probably the most overlooked part of the structure of your residence. Many people do not realize they have a problem with their roof until the inevitable happens….. roof leakage. More often than not, that is when we receive a call to perform a roof repair - only to find that the whole roof needs replaced. Some are frustrated when they are being apprised of this situation and believe we may be trying to "sell" them something they may not need. Be aware that roof repairs cost more on a hourly basis then replacing a roof. It would take "only" approximately two days of doing roofing repairs to equal the same amount paid in labor for an entire week when replacing your roof. When inspecting your roof check the condition of the following:
* Brittle shingles
* Cupped or buckling shingles
* Granular wear
* Proper ventilation
* Chimney flashings (if applicable)
* Soil-stack flashings
* Step flashings (if applicable)
* Sheathing rot
* Loose sheathing/decking
* Popped nails
In hopes that this can help you before the winter months set in. Information provided by Atlas Roof and Exteriors of Central Ohio.

Dublin history lesson
Peter and Benjamin Sells came to the area around 1801 from Huntington County, Pa., to buy land. Old Dublin was first platted in 1810 by their brother, John. Surveyor John Shields named the town after his birthplace in Ireland. The town developed the usual assortment of mills, shops and churches, with settlers coexisting peacefully with Wyandot Indians, who camped on Indian Run. The town gained notoriety in the mid-19th century, when a surplus of taverns and rowdy Civil War veterans gave the village a tough reputation. Columbus' growth and the construction of I-270 made expansion inevitable. Dublin achieved city status in 1987.
