Before & After Photos

Edward in Poughkeepsie, NY, reached out to Klaus Larsen Roofing after noticing sections of shingles on his old roof had started falling apart. In the before photo, you can see where shingles had come off, leaving the home exposed and vulnerable to water damage. Knowing he needed a permanent solution, Edward decided to move forward with a full roof replacement. Our crew got to work removing the worn-out roofing materials, carefully inspecting the deck underneath, and replacing any compromised plywood. We then installed a complete Klaus Roofing System featuring IKO Dynasty shingles in the color Cornerstone, a strong and reliable option built to handle the elements. Now, Edward has a solid, weather-tight roof that not only boosts his home’s appearance but also gives him peace of mind for years to come, backed by our 50-year transferable warranty.

Teddy in Poughkeepsie, NY needed a partial roof replacement after noticing a leak along the slope of the roof. The roof was only about 12 years old, but improper installation had caused issues, including a ridge vent that was never cut. Our team followed the Klaus Roofing Way, using doubled and stepped caps with careful backnailing to ensure the pitched section of the house was watertight. We installed matte black shingles with white drip edge metals and black chimney flashing for a clean finish.

Along with the roof work, we replaced Teddy’s old DIY plastic gutter guards with our RainDrop Gutter Guard system on the existing 5” gutters. This upgrade will provide much stronger protection and keep the gutters flowing without the hassle of climbing ladders. Now Teddy can feel confident knowing his roof and gutters are properly installed and built to last.

Tom and Joyce in Poughkeepsie, NY reached out to us because their 25-year-old roof was showing its age and water had begun leaking in around one of the upstairs windows. After inspecting the home, they decided it was time for a full roof replacement to stop the leaks for good and give their home a fresh, reliable roofing system. Our crew removed the old shingles, checked the decking, and installed a brand-new roof using IKO Dynasty shingles in the color Cornerstone. The IKO Dynasty shingles were the perfect fit for their home, offering strength, wind resistance, and long-lasting appeal. We also sealed the second-floor window to the left of the front door from the outside to address the leaking issue. Once everything was complete, Tom and Joyce were left with a clean, durable new roof and the confidence that their home was fully protected once again.

Kim in Poughkeepsie, NY, reached out after noticing a small sag in the front section of the roof and a minor leak over the sunroom. The roof was around 25 years old with a single layer of shingles, so it was nearing the end of its service life. During our inspection, we also identified ventilation concerns. The home had open gable vents and ridge vents but lacked proper soffit ventilation in most areas, which can disrupt airflow in the attic space. As part of the solution, we removed the existing ridge vent system to help correct the ventilation balance moving forward.

Our crew completed a full roof replacement using IKO Dynasty shingles in the color Atlantic Blue, giving the home a fresh look along with a properly updated roofing system designed for long-term performance.

Martin in Poughkeepsie, NY, reached out after noticing a leak developing in the garage area of his home. While there were no obvious missing shingles visible from the ground, the leak was a sign that the roofing system was beginning to fail and needed a closer look. Having owned the home since 2009, Martin wanted to take care of the issue before the summer season arrived and avoid the risk of further water damage.

After evaluating the roof, our team recommended a full roof replacement to provide long-term protection and eliminate concerns about hidden deterioration beneath the existing shingles. By replacing the entire system, the home would be better protected against future leaks, heavy rain, and changing weather conditions. The project included the installation of SealoronXT Ice & Water Shield in vulnerable areas of the roof, VeloraONE Roof Underlayment across the roof deck, and SealoronXT Deck Tape to help protect the plywood seams from water intrusion.

To complete the transformation, Martin selected IKO Dynasty shingles in Granite Black. The bold color gave the home a sharp, updated appearance while providing durable protection designed to withstand years of exposure to the elements.

With the new roof in place, Martin can head into the summer with confidence knowing his home is protected by a complete roofing system built for lasting performance.
