Before & After Photos

This before-and-after photo from Chester, CT offers a close-up view of the details of this roof replacement. In the before image, the shingles are covered in a layer of white staining, with the color visibly leaking down the roof, creating an unsightly and unwanted appearance. This is certainly not the image the homeowners wanted for their property. During the roof replacement, our skilled team removed the old, worn flashing around the chimney. We then installed an Ice & Water seal around the chimney, ensuring a tight, leak-free barrier. Afterward, we applied new, high-quality aluminum flashing to provide both protection and aesthetic appeal. The after photo highlights the progress of the installation, showcasing the clean, sleek look of the newly flashed chimney. Not only does it elevate the appearance of the roof, but it also offers long-lasting protection, ensuring no future leaks. This transformation is a testament to the quality craftsmanship and attention to detail you can expect from Klaus Larsen Roofing!

At this 1990s home located in Somers, CT we completely stripped off the existing roof and replaced it with a new roofing system. We first tore off the existing shingles and roofing material and hauled them to the Asphalt Roof Recycling Center to be turned into asphalt pavement for roads.

We then replaced any damaged plywood decking and laid down Ice & Water Shield to create a moisture barrier between the decking and the shingles. For even more protection,  we installed a synthetic underlayment, a durable, tear-resistant material that is engineered to repel water and adhere to the roofing surface. To top it off, we replaced the old chimney flashing with new lead flashing and installed a VentSure Ridge Vent to provide consistent attic ventilation to the home. 

At this large colonial home located in Somers, CT, we completely stripped and installed a brand new roofing system. After we stripped the old roofing materials off, we replaced any damaged plywood decking. Then, we installed 3 rows of Ice & Water shield to protect the home from any outside moisture. Th shingles are Duration shingles in the color Brownwood. We removed and replaced the flashing around the chimney with new lead flashing. 

This ranch home in Marlborough, CT had a roof that was about 25 years old with excessive leaking around the skylights. We stripped the old shingles, to start fresh at the decking. All of our disposed of asphalt is brought to a facility to be processed into recycled road asphalt. The ProArmor Synthetic Underlayment is installed beneath the shingles, which is another layer of water repellant material. We replaced the skylights with Velux Skylights, and flashed them to prevent any future leaking.

When we replaced the roof here in Marlborough, the owners also wanted better ventilation. We installed two attic fans to help remove the excess heat from the attic. This will reduce ice dams and cool the home in the Winter.
