“5 Mistakes Homeowners Make When Replacing Their Roof’and How to Avoid Them”

Residential Roofing in Columbus Gets a Champion: Homeowners Turn to The Roof Champion of Columbus for Reliable Roofing That Stands the Test of Time

Powell, Ohio — In Central Ohio, where wind, hail, and heavy rain can strike with little warning, one company has emerged as the go-to for homeowners who want residential roofing done right: The Roof Champion of Columbus.

Founded and operated by Travis Haessly, The Roof Champion has quickly built a reputation for honest communication, personal service, and expert craftsmanship. With a mission centered on protection, education, and relentless homeowner advocacy, Travis and his team are redefining what Columbus-area homeowners should expect from a roofing contractor.

“I don’t just sell roofs,” says Travis. “I protect homes and fight for families. That’s what a champion does.”

A Service-First Approach to Residential Roofing

When it comes to protecting your home, residential roofing isn’t just another upgrade—it’s a vital layer of defense. That’s why The Roof Champion of Columbus takes a personal, detail-driven approach to every roof it installs or repairs.

Homeowners receive:

• Thorough roof inspections that identify issues before they become costly

• Customized roofing plans based on structure, budget, and long-term performance

• Clear timelines and transparent pricing—no surprises, no upselling

• Hands-on support with insurance claims, often making the difference between denial and full approval

Every step is built around what’s best for the homeowner. And that’s not a slogan—it’s a promise.

1. Roof Inspection for Homes: Starting with the Facts

Before any roof can be replaced or repaired, Travis and his team conduct a full inspection—from ridge to drip edge.

“We don’t cut corners,” says Travis. “We check every penetration, every flashing, every seam. If it’s not watertight, it gets addressed.”

These inspections help homeowners avoid unnecessary expenses by identifying which components are still serviceable and which are truly compromised.

Plus, because The Roof Champion specializes in working with insurance carriers, these inspections are documented with the precision and language adjusters require—an advantage most roofers simply can’t offer.

2. Attic Ventilation Solutions: Performance from the Inside Out

Proper attic ventilation is often overlooked in residential roofing, but not by The Roof Champion.

“If your attic can’t breathe, your roof can’t last,” Travis explains. “It leads to heat buildup, mold, and premature shingle failure.”

His team assesses soffit vents, ridge vents, and attic airflow as part of every residential roofing job. When necessary, they upgrade or add ventilation to meet both building code and best practices from the Roof Assembly Ventilation Coalition (RAVC).

3. Shingle Style Options: Beauty Meets Durability

From classic 3-tab shingles to architectural asphalt shingles and even specialty designer styles, The Roof Champion helps homeowners choose roofing materials that not only protect but elevate curb appeal.

Shingle brands used include:

• Owens Corning TruDefinition Duration (Columbus homeowners love the color range)

• Atlas Pinnacle Pristine with Scotchgard™ protection

• Malarkey Highlander NEX—an eco-friendly, impact-rated option

“Every home is different,” says Travis. “But every roof we install has one thing in common—it’s built to last.”

4. Residential Roof Lifespan: Built for the Long Haul

The Roof Champion isn’t interested in “just getting the job done.” They’re here to make sure your next roof is your last roof for decades to come.

Their approach focuses on:

• Manufacturer-aligned installation practices (following ARMA guidelines)

• Proper deck preparation and ice/water barriers

• Starter shingles, ridge caps, and sealed flashing systems that meet or exceed IRC code

By focusing on systems—not just shingles—Travis and his crew ensure roofs that last 25, 30, or even 40 years depending on the material.

5. Gutter and Roof Integration: The Overlooked Weak Spot

No residential roof is complete without properly integrated gutters and downspouts.

“We’ve seen homes with new roofs and leaking walls because the gutter system was never updated,” says Travis. “That won’t happen on our watch.”

Every Roof Champion job includes:

• Gutter system evaluation

• Optional replacement with seamless aluminum gutters

• Proper downspout extension

• Waterflow direction away from foundation

That’s what it means to protect the whole home.
