Before & After Photos

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. 

This homeowner was in need of a new roof on their garage. After tearing off one layer of existing roofing materials, we replaced all sheets of damaged plywood decking. We then installed 2 rows of TriBuilt ice & water near all roof eaves, valleys, chimneys etc. In accordance with the building code requirements, we sealed all roof joints with flashing tape. We installed a Klaus Larsen Roofing System with IKO Cambridge Shingles with Charcoal Grey. We finished the job by installing purpose-made Hip and Ridge Shingles on all ridges and hips of the roof. This garage is now safe and secure thanks to Klaus Larsen Roofing.

The roof on this Multi-Family home in Hartford was having issues with leaking. Not only the main roof but also the rear porch needed to be torn off and replaced. The old shingles were hauled away to be recycled and the new Duration Estate Gray was installed in its place.

The Klaus Larsen 'Roof Your Neighborhood' campaign provides an opportunity for neighbors to purchase in bulk, and receive discounted material prices on their roofing projects. Houses are often built in communities around the same time, and begin to deteriorate and need improvement at the same rate as well. This homeowner in Wethersfield, CT received a discount, and the kind of top notch roofing system that only Klaus Larsen can provide.

This single-family home located in Wethersfield, CT was in need of a new roof. We started by tearing off one layer of existing roofing materials and replacing one layer of damaged plywood decking. We then covered the entire roof deck with Ice & Water barrier. In terms of shingles, we installed Cambridge Architectural Shingles in the color Charcoal Grey. We finished the job by removing and replacing flashing on the chimney with brand new lead flashing. This house is now complete thanks to Klaus Larsen Roofing!
