Before & After Photos

This beautiful home in Mystic, CT, is owned by Steve, whose roof, though not leaking, was nearing 30 years old! That's a long time for a roof, and the before photo showed black marks and weathering, indicating that it was time for a replacement to ensure the safety and structural integrity of the home.

To transform this roof, our crew undertook an intensive process that not only gave the home a sleek, refreshed look but also provided a durable roof that will protect against leaks and issues for decades to come.

When installing the anti-leak barriers, we at Klaus Larsen Roofing use three different types of sheets. The first is Sealoron XT Deck Tape, a flexible tape that allows the wooden plywood boards to breathe while covering the gaps between them, ensuring no water infiltrates your home.

Next, we apply two different underlayments. The first is the Sealoron XT Ice & Water barrier, which keeps all water out by covering the most vulnerable areas of the roof, including all edges (with a width of 6 feet), eaves, and valleys. This membrane protects these areas from wind-driven rain and water damage.

Lastly, the Velora One Roof Underlayment is installed over the rest of the fresh decking, creating a protective layer between the shingles and the decking. This extremely durable layer guards your roof against the damaging effects of wind-driven rain and water vapor. Even in the most severe weather, it will protect your home if exposed due to a shingle flying off—though that’s unlikely with IKO Dynasty shingles, which come with a 130 MPH wind warranty!

Steve chose the shingle color Granite Black to top off his home.

Put a Klaus on Your House!

In Mystic, CT, homeowner Jeff was ready to replace his 26-year-old roof. After meeting with a sales inspector from Klaus Larsen Roofing, Jeff knew he made the right choice. Offering only high-quality materials and highly trained workers, Jeff was excited to put a Klaus on his house. The process began by removing all the shingles from the old roof, inspecting the decking for any damage, and replacing any rotting plywood. Then, we installed SealoronXT Ice & Water protection and a high-quality VeloraOne Roof Underlayment to ensure maximum protection against leaks. Finally, the new shingles were applied, completing the roof replacement and giving Jeff’s home the protection it needs for years to come. Put a Klaus on Your House!

This log cabin style home in Canterbury, CT is very unique. Built in 1975, this single family home has a very interesting layout. It is a colonial and the roof is a gambrel, which is also referred to as a "Dutch Colonial" and looks like a barnyard roof. The owners were not experiencing any issues with the roof but knew that it was time to replace it. After tearing off two layers of existing roofing materials, the damaged plywood was replaced with all new decking. Three rows of  Ice & Water sheild was installed. The exisiting chimney flashing was removed and replaced. Brown aluminum drip edge/rake was installed along the entire, outside perimeter of the roof. Architectural-style asphalt shingles in the color of Terra Cotta, were installed which complimented this home very well!

This Dutch-Colonial barn was completely stripped of its existing roof and replaced with a brand new Klaus Larsen roofing system. We started the process by removing and replacing 2 layers of existing roofing materials and 52 sheets of damaged plywood decking. We went on to install 3 layers of Ice & Water barrier near roof eaves, valleys, chimneys etc. In terms of shingles, we installed shingles in the color Estate Gray. The shingles include an Algae-Resistance Limited Warranty as well as a 130 MPH Wind Resistance Limited Warranty. This attractive barn is now complete with its new Klaus Larsen roof installment!

This Cape-style home in Canterbury, CT was built in 1840 and in need of a new roof. To start this process, we tore off 2 layers of existing roofing materials and replaced 5 layers of damaged plywood decking. We then installed 3 rows of Ice & Water Barrier near all eaves, valleys, chimneys etc. In terms of shingles, we installed Oakridge Shingles in the color Onyx Black. Next, we installed a Ridge Vent to provide attic ventilation. Lastly, we removed and replaced all flashing around the chimney with new lead flashing, to further secure and seal the home form potential leaks. This home is now complete thanks to Klaus Larsen Roofing!
