Your roof is one of the most important—and visible—parts of your home. Not only does it protect your investment from the elements, but it also plays a huge role in curb appeal, energy efficiency, and resale value. At Tectum Roofing, we believe every roof should be as beautiful as it is durable. That’s why we’ve made it our mission to transform tired, worn-out roofs into high-performing, eye-catching showpieces.
In this post, we’re showcasing some of our favorite before-and-after roofing transformations. These real-life projects highlight the power of professional craftsmanship, premium materials, and personalized service. Whether you're in need of a total roof replacement or just starting to explore options, these stunning transformations will inspire you to imagine what’s possible with Tectum Roofing.
🏡 Project 1: From Weathered and Worn to Elegant and Efficient
Location: Suburban Home in Columbus, OH
Problem: Shingles were curling, the roof had visible discoloration, and the attic was overheating due to poor ventilation.
Solution: Complete roof replacement using GAF Timberline® HDZ shingles in Charcoal, paired with a new ridge vent system.
Before: The original roof was over 18 years old, with faded brown shingles that had lost much of their granule protection. There were water stains on the ceiling inside the home and signs of mold growth in the attic due to poor air circulation.
After: With a sleek new charcoal shingle color and advanced ventilation system, the home now looks refreshed and modern. The new roof reflects sunlight better and has already lowered summer cooling costs by nearly 15%, according to the homeowner.
✅ Key Benefits:
- Modernized curb appeal
- Improved attic ventilation
- Reduced energy costs
- Increased resale value
🏠 Project 2: Transforming a Classic Colonial with Dimensional Shingles
Location: Historic District – Dayton, OH
Problem: The roof was original to the home (over 25 years old) and clashed with the updated exterior paint and trim.
Solution: Architectural shingles in Weathered Wood, designed to mimic cedar shake.
Before: This charming Colonial-style home had traditional lines and great bones, but the outdated 3-tab shingles made it look tired and flat. Leaks were beginning to appear near the chimney, and algae streaks were visible from the street.
After: The new roof features dimensional architectural shingles with a rich, multi-tone color palette. It instantly elevated the character of the home, giving it depth and elegance. Matching metal flashing and improved underlayment provided the homeowner with peace of mind for years to come.
✅ Key Benefits:
- Enhanced architectural character
- Better water resistance near chimneys and valleys
- Increased home value in a historic district
- 50-year manufacturer warranty with GAF Gold Pledge™
🏘️ Project 3: Restoring a Duplex After Storm Damage
Location: Cleveland, OH
Problem: A major hailstorm caused widespread shingle damage and several leaks.
Solution: Full insurance-backed replacement with Class 4 impact-resistant shingles.
Before: The owners of this duplex were dealing with multiple interior water leaks and shingle debris in their yard. Their insurance company recommended replacement, but they didn’t know where to start.
After: Our team handled everything from inspection and insurance documentation to the final install. The duplex now has impact-rated shingles in a vibrant Slate color that boosts both durability and street presence.
✅ Key Benefits:
- Insurance-approved replacement
- Long-term protection from hail and wind
- Stylish, uniform look for both units
- Low-maintenance materials
🏡 Project 4: From Drab to Designer with Metal Roofing
Location: Rural Home in Southern Ohio
Problem: The original asphalt roof had frequent algae staining and was reaching the end of its lifespan.
Solution: Upgrade to a standing seam metal roof in Matte Black for a modern farmhouse look.
Before: The home had potential but was hidden behind an old roof that had lost its color and appeal. The homeowner wanted something sleek, modern, and maintenance-free.
After: The new metal roof completely redefined the home’s style. With clean lines, a crisp matte finish, and unmatched durability, it gave the home a new identity. Bonus: the new roof is solar-ready for the homeowner’s planned energy upgrades.
✅ Key Benefits:
- 50+ year lifespan
- Zero algae buildup
- Ultra-low maintenance
- Modern aesthetic
