We Replaced A Roof In Muncie That Had Been Leaking For FORTY YEARS
Her Home Inspector Never Noticed The Hidden Leak – But It Sure Caught OUR Obsessively Attentive Eye
When Elizabeth bought her historic Muncie area home a little over a year ago, she trusted her home inspector to catch any lingering problems with the 90-year-old structure. Unfortunately, he missed the roof leak that had probably existed for the last 40 years, which became apparent the first time it rained. That’s when Elizabeth contacted us at Clemens Home Solutions.
A Roof Pulling Itself Apart
While the previous owner did a good job of covering up old watermarks, that disguise failed during the first heavy rainfall after Elizabeth moved into her new home. With water leaks evident throughout her home, she put in a call to several roofing contractors and started collecting bids.
Though our bid was not the lowest she received, Elizabeth gave us the job because she felt our answers to her problem were the most thorough and forthright.
What we found was a roof literally pulling apart at the seams. That the home inspector didn’t notice this problem was understandable since he performed his roof inspection from the ground. When our inspector got onto Elizabeth’s roof, he realized it would save time if he only mentioned the spots that weren’t leaking.
Not Your Average Muncie Area Roof
Unlike most homes in the Muncie area, Elizabeth’s home had a large flat roof covering most of her house, a domed enclosure over her porch, and a standard residential roof encased in a low wall covering the center.
When a roofing system this complicated fails, it tends to fail big. We had no choice but to start, essentially, from scratch. But we weren’t content to just make it work – we wanted to make it look better, too.
You see, over the past decades, owners decided it was easier to cover up the roof features with flat boards rather than go to the trouble of maintaining them properly. And that’s something we just couldn’t allow to stand.
So, we took that dull white dome over the porch and replaced it with custom copper work, and improved the integrated gutter system.
Then, we uncovered some gorgeous brickwork along the perimeter of the central roof area to return the original character of the home.
A Brand New Look That Reaches Back In Time
When we finished up, Elizabeth’s home had a brand new central roof system while, finally, regaining its old majesty from almost a century ago.
And, best of all, Elizabeth was thrilled to note that the next heavy rainfall stayed outside where it belonged.

Clemens Home Solutions did an amazing job on our Gutters this evening. Luis and his team were extremely fast, Knowledgeable, and very polite with their profession. It was a very cold day this evening and his team did fantastic with the elements. I would gladly refer anyone to Clemens Home Solutions for their next home improvement project.
Clemens was absolutely perfect to work with. I received phone calls with updates on the project weekly which actually got completed earlier than expected. The finished job was fantastic, the work was excellent and the new door is of great quality.
I've known I needed to replace large windows in my living room for years. Clemens Home Solutions made that happen and I am so happy with how everything looks and feels! Everyone on the team from sales to installation made me feel like a valued customer. I highly recommend Clemens Home Solutions!
I am very happy with my new gutters. No more leaking at the corners where my old gutters met. i probably got in the way of Luis and his team with all my questions and curiosity of how the gutters were made on sight but both of them were very helpful and friendly and didn't seem to mind me interrupting their work. I've never had a company stay in touch with me before the project was started like they did. I highly recommend them!!
Overall 5 star experience. Our project had some challenges and we had to change plans a few times and someone from Clemens was always in contact with us. The work was completed in a day and they communicated with us during the project. They cleaned up, were super nice, and the windows look wonderful!
Clemens did a great job of replacing my gutters. Eric Logan was a great sales person, no high pressure, just information. Luis and his team did the replacement and were quick and very good! Luis made sure he followed up with me and that I was happy. I asked for a longer down spout on my front porch and Luis came and replaced it right away!! Thank you. They were great to work with.
Extremely happy with the service and communication! Had all new windows and a front door installed . The crew was super friendly , and explained things as they installed . They didn’t mind me being in their way! They were all very professional, and did a great job cleaning up afterwards!
I recently had my gutters, soffit and fascia done by Clemens. Austin and his crew was amazing . They were professional and kept me updated during the process and their follow-up after the project was even more appreciated. I recommend this great company to anyone.
Clemens did a great job. They are very honest and kept us well informed on the progress of the windows. The installers were very delightful and did a great job installing the windows. They kept the work area very clean and were respectful of our house. I would highly recommend Clemens to anyone looking to replace windows!
