This hipped roof in Norwich had tongue and groove boards underneath the roof instead of plywood. Boards will often be found in older homes build in the 40's and 50's. Some boards were damaged and needed to be replaced before the new Asphalt Estate Gray roof was installed. The roof, ridge vent, chimney flashing, and a flat roof section were all replaced on the same day!
This roof replacement in Chaplin was unique because the owners used what is called a 203K loan. A 203K is a home improvement loan that was used to replace the roof along with several other projects. Klaus Larsen Roofing is registered to handle 203K loans and even offers financing.
This house in Chaplin needed a ridge vent and a new roofing system for the gabled roof (on the right). The Dutch colonial roof was in better shape and only needed the upper roof, chimney flashing, and vent boot replaced. All of this was done in the Winter and the shingles are in excellent condition. Klaus Larsen has the experience and the know-how to do Winter Roofing!
Nature can only be kept at bay for so long. On this Gales Ferry project, the roof was being smothered by lichen and moss. Aside from being unsightly, moss retains moisture and will hasten the damage done by frost in the winter months. Atlas Pinnacle Pristine Tan shingles were used to restore this roof, and give it a healthy new glow.
At this 1750's colonial style home located in Scotland, CT we completely tore off the existing roof and installed a new Owens Corning roofing system. After we stripped the existing shingles and hauled them to the Asphalt Roof Recycling Center in Stratford, CT we replaced 5 sheets of damaged plywood decking. To protect the interior of the home from moisture, we installed Owens Corning Weatherlock G Ice & Water shield. For shingles, we used Owens Corning Duration Shingles in the color Estate Gray. To finish this roof off, we removed and replaced all of the lead chimney flashing to ensure that no water can come through the chimney to the interior of the home. This roof comes with a 50-year warranty so the homeowner can go through the rainy months ahead, worry free!
