This single family home in Newington, CT was in need of a new asphalt shingle roof. After tearing off one layer of existing roofing material, we replaced all damaged sheets of plywood decking. We then covered the entire roof deck with two rows of ice & water barrier. For new shingles, we installed a Klaus Larsen Roofing System with IKO Cambridge Architectural Shingles in the color Dual Grey. We finished the job by removing and replacing the existing flashing on the chimney with brand new lead flashing. This house is now complete thanks to Klaus Larsen Roofing!
This cozy single family home in Newington, CT had a roof that was starting show signs of aging and wear. A roof replacement was in order and to begin this project we started by removing and disposing of the existing layer of asphalt roofing. Upon inspection of the roof deck, we found 3 damaged sheets of plywood decking, and replaced them accordingly. To ensure weather protection, we then layed down two rows of Ice & Water Barrier as well as a Synthetic Underlayment across the decking to adhere to the roof's surface as well as provide additional water resistance. For shingles, we installed a Klaus Larsen Roofing System with Dynasty Architectural Shingles in the Castle Grey colorway. We added some final touches to this project by installing a new exhaust vent hood and vent pipe boot. This house was made new again 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.
