We worked with this homeowner in East Haddam, CT to put a new Klaus Roofing System on their home. This home had an asphalt shingled roof that was 24 years old and in need of a replacement. We first replaced any damaged plywood and renailed the existing decking with Ring Shank Nails, a higher quality nail that is a cross between a nail and a screw and won't come out in high winds. We then laid down our Klaus Larsen Roofing SealoronXT Ice & Water self-sealing membrane to create a moisture barrier between the decking and the shingles. We also added 100 extra feet of Ice & Water for the lower slope roof on left rear of house. For even more protection, we installed our own Velora One Underlayment, a high performance synthetic underlayment designed to protect the home in even the most severe weather. We also took the extra step to protect the home by taping the plywood steams with our all-weather SealoronXT Deck Tape. It's the Klaus Roofing Way! To top it off, for new asphalt shingles, we installed IKO Dynasty Architectural Shingles featuring a 1-1/4" nailing area made with a tough reinforcing woven band for incredible nail-holding power to protect the home against Mother Nature's fury. The homeowner choose the shingle color Granite Black for their new roof.
This homeowner in East Haddam, CT reached out to us to have their roof cleaned. What is the Klaus Roofing Way to clean a home's roof? We use a soft wash cleaning method, which means that we do not power wash! Power washing will remove granules from roofing shingles, significantly reducing the life of your roof. Our goal is to extend the life of the roof by removing harmful organic growth from roofing shingles. We begin by protecting your home's landscape. We then apply our roof cleaning solution made up of household cleaners and surfactants. This solution immediately starts to work as it kills mold, mildew, algae, moss, or any other organic growth on your roof surface. Our solution is then left on the roof surface to ensure all organic growth has been killed down to the roots, meaning it's gone for good.
From there, we simply let mother nature take its course. Over the next 14 days, the rainwater will naturally rinse off all dead organic matter that was killed off during our soft wash process.
The homeowners of this single family home in Vernon, CT knew it was time to have their roof replaced. Being 18 years old, the roof was bound to experience a harsh winter. The Klaus Larsen team tore off two layers of existing roofing materials and replaced all of the damaged plywood decking. Three rows of Ice & Water shield was installed.

This single-family home in Vernon Rockville was in need of a new roof and skylights. After tearing off one layer of existing roofing materials, we replaced 5 sheets of damaged plywood decking. We then installed 3 rows of ice & water barrier near all eaves, valleys, chimneys, and skylights of the roof to ensure the roof is protected against leaks. We also installed an aluminum drip edge around the entire perimeter of the roof as well as black shingles. In terms of skylights, we installed 2 new Velux VS Skylights. We finished the job by replacing the existing chimney flashing with new lead flashing to further protect against water penetration. This house is now complete thanks to Klaus Larsen Roofing!
