What we write about, and why

Every post here answers a question Delaware property owners actually ask before they hire anyone — what work costs, which materials are worth the upcharge, how long a job really takes, and the shortcuts that look fine for two years and then do not.

The writing comes from the same people doing the work in Delaware, OH and Delaware County and the Olentangy corridor, which is why the numbers are specific and the advice sometimes tells you not to spend money.

Skip the articles and go to the page for what you need — each one covers pricing, scope and how to start:

  • Roof Replacement in DelawareMost full reroofs on this side of Delaware County cross twenty-five thousand dollars once the decking allowance, the valley metal and every foot of flashing are priced honestly. That number is not ours.
  • Roof Leak Repair in DelawareA leak repair is not a twenty-five thousand dollar job and it should never be sold as though it were. Most of what stains a ceiling in this city is a forty dollar part and two hours of somebody paying attention with a ladder.
  • Storm Damage Restoration in DelawareThe useful thing about a storm job is that the price moves. Nobody knows what is under the shingle until the shingle is off, which makes storm work the place where Ohio's overrun rules earn their keep.
  • Hail Damage Roofing in DelawareCentral Ohio gets hail, but not the kind that visits the plains, and the practical consequence is that a great many hail calls in Delaware ought to end without a claim being opened at all. A bruise is not a mark.
  • Wind Damage Roofing in DelawareWind damage in Delaware is almost always partial, and partial is the cheap end of the market. That makes it the place where the temptation to convert a repair into a replacement is strongest, and where we try hardest to be boring about it.
