Flashing and Chimney Repair
On Bexley’s steep historic roofs, most leaks start at chimney and dormer flashing. We reflash those details so the water goes where it should.

We Start With the Truth
Bexley’s Grand Old Roofs Fail at the Details
Bexley’s near-east neighborhoods are known for grand, older homes, large Tudors and colonials with steep pitches, multiple dormers, and slate or specialty detailing, all under a heavy tree canopy. On roofs like these the field usually outlasts the flashing, the chimney details, and the valleys, which is where leaks start. Overhanging limbs add debris and cracked shingles on top of that. A replacement on a historic Bexley roof is a major expense, so we look hard for the targeted repair before we ever raise that as an option.
What We Do
The Roof Repairs Bexley’s Historic Homes Need Most
Leak Tracking and Repair
A leak on a large, cut-up roof rarely enters where it drips. We trace the water back to its true source and fix the cause, not the ceiling stain.
Tree and Debris Damage
Under Bexley’s mature canopy, limbs crack shingles and pack valleys with debris. We repair the damage and clear the paths so the roof drains.
Storm Damage Repair
After hail or a limb strike we document the damage and make fast emergency repairs so an older roof does not fail wholesale.
On the Ground in Bexley
Old, Steep and Hard to Reach
Most of Bexley was platted before the Second World War, growing out of Bullitt Park, laid out in 1889. The blocks off Main Street and Cassady Avenue and around Broad Street and Drexel Avenue carry 1920s brick colonials, Tudor and Colonial Revivals and American Foursquares, and a real number still have slate or clay tile.
We work all of 43209. Bexley is one of the harder places in Central Ohio to repair a roof honestly, because so little of what matters is visible from the ground.

What Repair Actually Involves
What Decides a Roof Repair on a Bexley Home
Steep, complicated, sometimes not asphalt at all. These four things decide the work.
Access Before Anything Else
A steep roof on a tight lot with mature trees needs planned staging and fall protection. That is real cost and it is also why an honest assessment here cannot happen from the sidewalk.
Chimneys and Parapets
These houses have substantial masonry, and that is where the leaks usually begin. The correct fix is flashing rebuilt into the courses, not sealant over a failure.
If It Is Slate, It Is a Different Trade
Slate and clay tile repairs need matching material and someone who has done it before. Patching them with asphalt is a decision that shows from the street permanently.
Every Junction Is Its Own Detail
Additions, dormers and porch roofs meet walls at every angle on these houses. Rebuilding those intersections properly is most of the skill in repairing a Bexley roof.

Questions, Answered
Roof Repair in Bexley: Common Questions
Not usually. On steep historic roofs the field of shingles tends to outlast the flashing, chimney, and valley details, and those are repairs. We inspect the whole roof and tell you in writing whether a targeted fix covers it.

We answer the phone around the clock for active leaks in Bexley, tarp the roof to stop the water, and come back for the permanent repair once the deck has dried out. Most non emergency calls get looked at the same business day.

Bexley repair calls in 43209 are rarely simple. Around Broad and Drexel the houses are large and old with steep pitches, real chimneys and roof to wall intersections that were sealed rather than flashed. We would rather rebuild the detail than keep selling you sealant every two years.
