Before & After Photos

Klaus Larsen traveled to Connecticut's quiet corner to repair and replace this Columbia roof. Cambridge Charcoal Gray shingles were installed to compliment the bold, red paint of this house. Aesthetics are never ignored!  

It was April, but there was still snow on the ground in Columbia, CT. This homeowner wanted a company that could get the job done in one day, so as to avoid any issues with weather. Along with the new roof, we installed a solar powered Fresh Air Deck Velux skylight system with remote, that closes automatically at the first sign of rain. They are perfect for contemporary homes with cathedral ceilings like this one. The OC True Def Duration Brownwood color looks great on this country property. 

This Columbia, CT home had some leaking coming from the rear section of the roof. For this project we began with new plywood, followed by a layer of ProArmorShield Synthetic Underlayment, and finished with a layer of Duration shingles. The 'after' photo was taken on an afternoon with 40+ mph winds, and these shingles aren't budging a bit.

The roof here was 20 years old, and was starting to get some leaking into the house. We are glad this roof was replaced when it was, so no further damage could take place. As an extra protective barrier against moisture, we applied Ice & Water Shield between the trim and window. The shingles used were Onyx Black, which look outstanding on this Columbia, CT Cape.  

Built in 1970, this single-family home was in need of a partial roof replacement and new skylights. We started by tearing off one layer of existing roofing materials, as well as replacing 5 layers of damaged plywood decking. We then installed 3 rows of Ice & Water Barrier near all eaves, valleys, chimneys etc. For shingles, we installed GAF Timberline Weathered Wood Shingles. Next, we removed siding on 2 dormers and replaced it with new flashing and cedar shakes. Lastly, we installed new Velux FS Skylights. This house is now complete thanks to Klaus Larsen Roofing!
