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!
Installing a full roof on this Victorian house in Willimantic was a great honor and privilege for us. The complex style of architecture along with the turret required a highly proficient roofing company, and we were happy to oblige. All of the plywood needed to be removed and replaced, as part of a complete overhaul. We've worked on residential turrets before, so we were prepared with the experience needed to effectively roof a conical structure in a timely and proficient manner. This job had a remarkable outcome and the home is a lot closer to being fully restored. It is one more piece of Connecticut history that we have both protected and rejuvenated.
Here was a Willimantic Victorian, with two apartments under one roof. Tenants were experiencing some leaking, and the landlord called Klaus Larsen to determine the cause of the problem. We consistently advise staying away from using 3-tab shingles, which lay side by side and are non-dimensional. They typically blur the line between an inexpensive and 'cheap' product. This roof was replaced with Duration architectural shingles, with Mule Hide purpose made flat roofing on the front shed roof deck.
This homeowner in Willimantic had a roof that was 30 years old and it had no plywood underneath. All new plywood deck had to be installed before the new Duration Desert Tan shingles could be put on. Call or contact us today to receive a free price estimate for your next roofing project.
