This Greek Orthodox Cathedral in Hartford, CT, was in need of a serious upgrade. The roof, covered with shingles around 20 years old, was showing signs of wear, with leaks and deteriorating materials becoming a real problem. The photo shows the roof before we began the replacement process, with a noted leak on the right side. The first step was stripping off the old roofing materials, and to protect the church’s beautiful walls and glass windows, our crew set up large tarps around the building to catch any debris. Once the old shingles were removed, we replaced any rotted plywood with fresh boards. We then applied SealoronXT Deck Tape and SealoronXT Ice & Water Seal, which help protect the wood and prevent leaks. The next step involved laying down VeloraOne Roof Underlayment to cover the roof deck. Finally, we began installing the stunning ProVia Metal Shake Style Roofing System in Sandalwood, which not only improves the church’s appearance but will also provide lasting protection for years to come.
This 3-family home located in Hartford, CT was in desperate need of a full roof replacement. There were problems with the home and leaks coming from the roof. To resolve this issue, we completely stripped the existing roof and replaced 10 sheets of damaged plywood decking. To prevent leaks around the chimney we removed and replaced the flashing on the chimney with new lead flashing. This homeowner can now face the winter worry-free.
This was a project from 2013, that brought us to Wethersfield, Connecticut. Before this home had a Klaus Larsen roof, the day was gloomy and bleak. We installed black shingles for the new roof and sunshine came with it. Disclaimer: Our work is not guaranteed to alter atmospheric conditions, but it certainly may help.
Here we are in the thick of a project in Wethersfield, CT. The removal of your old roof can be quite the ordeal, but we keep the mess to a minimum with closely placed tarps. The only thing we leave behind is a great looking, long lasting roof.
For this Wethersfield, CT project we tore off the existing roofing materials to be recycled. All debris was meticulously cleaned up, including nails which were picked up by a magnetic roller. In order to create a full moisture barrier, we installed a synthetic underlayment. This is a durable, tear-resistant material engineered to repel water and adhere to the roofing surface. We finished the project by installing a Copper Cat Algae Terminator on the rear roof above the porch. This double-sided copper strip prevents any growth of algae, moss or mold.
