Before & After Photos

Brian, a homeowner in Middletown, CT, owns this beautiful white home with a 23-year-old asphalt roof. The old brown shingles, showing dark streaks and faded colors, clearly showed that the roof was past its prime. After 23 years, roofs can develop serious issues like rotting plywood, leaks, and moss-covered shingles, which is why Brian decided it was time for a replacement to keep his home safe and sound. To ensure maximum protection, we installed the Ice & Water SealoronXT, which covers the roof’s most vulnerable areas like edges and valleys. This barrier provides essential defense against rain, ice, and snow—preventing water from seeping in and causing costly damage. We also applied Velora One Roof Underlayment across the rest of the roof, adding an extra layer of security beneath the shingles. Even if a shingle is lifted during a storm, the underlayment keeps water from reaching the decking, ensuring long-term protection against leaks.

This before-and-after transformation highlights how new shingles can completely revamp a home’s look. By choosing the popular IKO Granite Black shingles, Brian’s home now has a sleek, modern appearance, enhancing the cool tones of the exterior and making that vibrant red door pop!

Put a Klaus on Your House!

This homeowner in Middletown, CT wanted to give their beautiful red shed a much-needed roof upgrade—not only to enhance its appearance but also to protect the shed's contents from potential leaks and damage. After seeing the high-quality work we provided for their neighbor’s roof replacement, they knew Klaus Larsen Roofing was the right choice. Using IKO Dynasty shingles in a striking Emerald Green, we transformed the shed’s look while ensuring long-lasting durability. Now, this shed not only looks refreshed but is also safeguarded against the elements for years to come! Put a Klaus on Your House!

After taring off the dated materials, we had to do some structural repair by replacing the rotted rafter of the dormer with CDX plywood, a durable form of sheathing used specifically for roofing. Klaus Larsen only works with high-quality materials, so that you won't need any subsequent repair work down the road. This project turned out great. A neighbor was so impressed, that we ended up roofing their house right across the street!

Here was a farmhouse from 1855, that had a 20 year old roof on it, which we removed and recycled. We also removed and replaced all flashing on three chimneys with new lead flashing. The asphalt we send off to be recycled is turned into roads that span across Connecticut and Massachusetts.  

There was definite visual and internal deterioration on this 3-Tab roof in East Hartford, CT. This job was pretty straightforward, and began with the removal and recycling of one layer of shingles from both the main house and garage. The chimney flashing was also renewed in addtion to all new vent pipe boots. New decking, vents, and underlayment all work together to give this home a nice, new little roof!
