Klaus Larsen LLC Before & After Photos

New roof put on in Columbia, CT due to multiple leaks and tons of algae growth. 

A new roof was put on in a home in Columbia, CT. The homeowners moved in a few years ago and wanted to re-evaluate the roof then replace. They chose asphalt shingles in color Biscayne, which matched beautifully with the home. 

What a Difference IKO Dynasty Shingles make!

Paula and Thomas were having some worries about the state of their roof after having it for 25 years. After contacting their insurance company, they discovered their granules are coming off and they would need to look at a roof replacement. Contacting Klaus Karen Roofing, they were able to get a free inspection and a quote before moving forward with the process. Choosing the IKO Dynasty Shingles in the color Glacier, Klaus Larsen got to work with this new roof installation, removing the old shingles and stripping the old roofing off down to the plywood. From there, the roof replacement begins. After replacing any damaged plywood boards, the decking is taped together to ensure there are no cracks in the decking that may lead to a leak.

Additionally, the SealoronXT Ice & Water membrane is placed on all edges and valleys, as well as the Velora One Roof Underlayment which covers the rest of the plywood, giving your roof that additional protection to make it last. There will be no leaking with this roof! For extra measure, the IKO shingles used have a built-in algae resistance with embedded copper-coated granules, which will prevent any streaks, stains, and discoloration that you see in Paula and Thomas's before photo.

This Klaus Larsen roof replacement in Columbia, CT, underwent an amazing transformation! Brian and Lisa had a 26-year-old roof with asphalt shingles. Despite having no leaks or damage, they understood the importance of proactive roof replacement. Over time, exposure to harsh weather conditions causes roofing materials to age, potentially leading to leaks and structural issues. By replacing their roof when necessary, they ensured their home remained structurally sound and protected against future water damage. In the 'before' photo, the shingles were covered in moss and algae, all of which were removed and replaced with IKO Dynasty Architectural shingles in the color Shadow Brown. These shingles were securely installed using 6-ring shank roofing nails, preventing issues such as nails popping or shingles slipping, lifting, or tearing. In the 'after' photo, the result is evident with fresh shingles and beautiful Aluminum Valley Flashing in Dark Bronze color installed on all valleys of the main house.
