Before & After Photos

This Colonial Style home in Rocky Hill, CT was in need of a new roof.  Klaus Larsen Roofing started by tearing off one layer of existing roofing materials and replacing 3 layers of damaged plywood decking. Next, we installed 2 rows of Ice & Water Barrier near all eaves, valleys, chimneys etc. We then installed a Klaus Larsen Roofing System with Cambridge Architectural Shingles in the color Charcoal Gray. Next, we removed and replaced 4 attic vents and 3 boot vents. We finished by removing and replacing the flashing on the chimney with brand new lead flashing. This house is now complete thanks to Klaus Larsen Roofing! 

This West Hartford, CT Colonial had three layers of deteriorated shingles that needed to be removed and replaced with a new roofing system. We always recommend starting with a fresh layer, as opposed to covering up asphalt and plywood that have been compromised by moisture. Though layering shingles was once a common practice, standards have changed drastically, and multiple layers can often hinder a home's chances of getting insurance or being sold on the market. Many insurance companies now insure by the layer. Poor ventilation is also attributed to multi-layering, as it causes your attic to suffocate, builds ice dams and will rapidly worsen any preexisting conditions. Having one complete layer with properly placed vents and underlayment will provide total protection, without having to worry about the eroded shingles lurking beneath. 

This homeowner was in need of a new roof on their garage. After tearing off one layer of existing roofing materials, we replaced all sheets of damaged plywood decking. We then installed 2 rows of TriBuilt ice & water near all roof eaves, valleys, chimneys etc. In accordance with the building code requirements, we sealed all roof joints with flashing tape. We installed a Klaus Larsen Roofing System with IKO Cambridge Shingles with Charcoal Grey. We finished the job by installing purpose-made Hip and Ridge Shingles on all ridges and hips of the roof. This garage is now safe and secure thanks to Klaus Larsen Roofing.

This home located in Hartford, CT was having serious roof problems. There were multiple shingles falling off and there was a leak from the roof over the back porch section of the home. To fix this issue we completely stripped the existing roof and replaced it with new asphalt shingles. After we stripped the old roof, we replaced 10 sheets of water-damaged plywood decking. To protect the home from outside moisture we laid down Owens Corning Weatherlock G Ice & Water and ProArmor Synthetic Underlayment which is engineered to repel water and to adhere to the roofing surface. For shingles, we used Owens Corning Oakridge Shingles in the color Onyx Black. To make sure the structure of the chimney stays intact we removed the old flashing and replaced it with new lead chimney flashing. 

The roof on this Multi-Family home in Hartford was having issues with leaking. Not only the main roof but also the rear porch needed to be torn off and replaced. The old shingles were hauled away to be recycled and the new Duration Estate Gray was installed in its place.
