Before & After Photos

Whether your home is small or large the time comes when the roof needs to be replaced. It could be because the roof is leaking or you it may be that the roof is just old and you don't want it to start leaking. This home had a roof had 3-tab shingles that were over 20 years old which is about how long a 3-tab shingle will last. By this point, the shingles had become completely blackened by algae. Our crews came and started around 7:00 am. They attached tarps to the roof edge before tearing the roof off. Then they removed the old skylight and covered the opening with plywood. Next, we installed self-sealing Ice & Water barrier nine feet up the roof. The crew also installed it around the dormer and in the valleys to protect those vulnerable areas. Above the Ice & Water, the Synthetic underlayment was nailed down. They finished off the roof by nailing down the Onyx Black Duration shingles. The owners also got a 50-year warranty from Owens Corning because Klaus Larsen Roofing is a Platinum Contractor with Owens Corning. 

This 2-family home had a layer of asphalt shingles on top of cedar shake roof. Under the cedar shakes, there was no plywood only furring strips. Before we could install the new shingles, new plywood had to be installed over the furring strips to strengthen the roof deck before the new architectural shingles could be nailed on.

This 21-year-old home needed a new roof replacement and had damage from ice dams this past winter. To ensure that no moisture can pass through this roof, we installed three rows of Ice & Water Shield and ProArmor Synthetic Underlayment. We used Owens Corning Tru Definition duration Shingles in the color Estate Gray on the main roof, addition, and garage. To provide top-notch attic ventilation we put in a new VentSure Ridge Vent. This home will no longer have to worry about any future ice dams this upcoming winter season.

Located in Manchester, CT, this cape-style home was in desperate need of a new roof. The roof had significant leaks and water damage, especially around the sunroom area of the home. To protect the structural integrity of the home we tore off all of the damaged decking and replaced it with new sheets of plywood. To prevent any moisture from going inside the home, we laid down Owens Corning Weatherlock G Ice & Water shield. We installed TruDefinition Duration Shingles in the color, Onyx Black to replace this old singe-tabbed shingle roofing system. The sunroom, which had leaking issues is a flat roof which required a different kind of roofing system. For this portion of the roof, we installed a complete two-layer Owens Corning DeckSeal modified bitumen flat roofing system on the new plywood decking, rolling out each layer with a 70-pound roller. Now, this charming home can face the winter worry-free of any leaks or water damage.

This charming cape-cod style house was in need of a new Owens Corning Roofing System. The existing shingles on this home were single-tabbed shingles, which are less thick than architectural shingles so they need to be replaced sooner. We stripped the old shingles and sent them to an asphalt recycling center to be recycled into new roads. We then replaced any damaged plywood decking and laid down Owens Corning Weatherlock G Ice & Water Shield to protect the home from outside elements. For new shingles, we used TurDefiniton Duration Shingles by Owens Corning in the color Quarry Gray. These homeowners can sleep well knowing they not only recycled their old roof but got a new durable, warrantied roof that will last them years and years.
