About Kate

Kate was carrying shingle bundles up ladders for her dad's crew by age fourteen. She took over Brennan Roofing in 2016, added gutters and siding, and bought the company's first drone the same year.

Every estimate starts with photos of your actual roof, so you can see the hail bruising, lifted tabs or bad flashing for yourself. Kate handles a lot of insurance claims and she is blunt about them. If the damage isn't there, she will say so, even when a door-knocker down the street told you otherwise.

The company runs four crews from April through November and does repairs year-round, mostly in Delaware County, north Columbus and Dublin.

Off the roof, Kate coaches 12U girls' softball and is much louder at games than anyone expects.

What members say about Kate

4 testimonials

Two of my clients had hail claims denied this year after a door-knocker padded the estimate, so now I send people to Kate before they call the carrier. On a Powell claim in June her photos matched the adjuster's findings almost line for line, and the carrier paid $17,400 without a reinspection.

Kate's drone photos of a 1962 Worthington ranch showed flashing that had been leaking into the exact wall we were about to open. Her crew fixed it the week before demo. Saved us both a bad surprise.

I spent a day filming Kate's crew on a Dublin tear-off in June. They had the old roof off and the decking checked by 10 a.m., and she stopped the job twice to show the homeowner photos of rotted boards before replacing them.

After the April hail a door-knocker told us our Clintonville roof needed a $19k replacement. Kate put the drone up, showed us three lifted tabs and no bruising, and fixed it for $640. She could easily have sold us the whole roof.
