Before & After Photos

This single-family ranch was in need of a new roof and decided to trust Klaus Larsen Roofing with the job. To start, 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 a traditional tan to compliment the homes exterior. Lastly, we installed brand new chimney flashing, a new attic vent and vent hood. This house is now complete thanks to Klaus Larsen Roofing!

Grant and Karen, proud owners of a beautiful home in Chester, CT, knew it was time for an upgrade. Their 26-year-old asphalt shingle roof had a history of leaks around the vent pipe, and they were unsure about the durability of their chimney flashing. With plans to install solar panels, they wanted a solid, reliable roof to ensure long-term protection.

At Klaus Larsen Roofing, we began by removing the old shingles, gaining access to the plywood decking so we could inspect and replace any damaged areas. The deck was then securely re-nailed with 8d ring-shank nails, specifically designed to stay put, giving the roof an extra layer of durability. Next, we upgraded their chimney and skylight flashing, addressing their concerns about leaks and preparing their home for the new roof.

To protect the most vulnerable areas, we applied the Sealoron XT Ice & Water barrier along the edges and valleys, and the VeloraOne Roof Underlayment was used across the rest of the roof to ensure a waterproof seal. With all new flashing in place and every corner fortified, we topped it off with IKO Dynasty shingles—a heavy-duty product designed to withstand winds up to 130 MPH. These heavy-duty shingles ensure Grant and Karen's home is ready to face even the harshest New England weather while adding a fresh, vibrant look.

Now, their home is not only protected for years to come but also prepped for their upcoming solar panel installation. At Klaus Larsen Roofing, we don’t just replace roofs—we deliver peace of mind, craftsmanship, and long-term value. Just ask Grant and Karen!

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!

This barn-style garage located in Westbrook, CT required a new roof and Klaus Larsen Roofing was able to do just that! We started this project by tearing away one layer of existing roofing materials and disposing of them properly. We inspected the roof decking for damage, and we found 3 damaged plywood decking sheets which we removed and replaced. To protect against rain and snow, we installed two rows of Ice & Water Barrier as well as a layer of Synthetic Underlayment to help repel water. For the shingles, we installed a Klaus Larsen Roofing System with Dynasty Architectural Shingles in the Granite Black colorway. This barn-style roof is ready for anything thanks to Klaus Larsen Roofing!

The roof on this home in East Hampton, CT was about 10 years old when the owners reached out to Klaus Larsen. There was leaking around the chimney and the owners were concerned about the roof and what damage could be happening because of the water. After replacing the damaged plywood decking with new material, three rows of Ice & Water was installed, along with a ProArmor Synthetic Underlayment designed to repel water. The old chimney flashing was removed and replaced with new, lead flashing. A Ridge Vent was installed as well, providing a moisture barrier and attic ventilation. Architectural-style asphalt shingles in the color of Onyx Black, were installed.
