Klaus Larsen is your Winter Roofing Expert

Rain can most certainly hinder exterior home work, but cold weather and snow on the ground don't have to derail a roof installation. Roofing season never really ends. Consider the mountain towns of Colorado or the consistent piling up of snow in Buffalo, New York. North Dakota, Wisconsin, Canada, Alaska, and Greenland are all among places where winter is almost year-round. Sometimes living in Connecticut and Rhode Island it can feel that way. Klaus Larsen has roofed through all kinds of weather that New England has presented us. With the right combination of knowledge and tools, we have successfully installed new roofing systems on hundreds of homes across Connecticut in cold weather and multiple feet of snow.

Even on frigid days, in the sun the temperature of your roof is typically between 40 and 50 degrees Fahrenheit. This allows the adhesive nailing strip to seal properly between the fabric and the shingle. We also adjust the pressure of our nail guns to correctly install our materials and guarantee a secure application. Asphalt shingles were formerly manufactured with water, which made them break easily in freezing temperatures - yet new technology has produced shingles that are pliable and less brittle.

Klaus Larsen is there for our customers in all seasons – not just the fair-weather ones. So you'll be protected when big storms and blizzards hit. We come back when the snow melts to ensure all nails have been collected and to make sure no further work is required. We are one of Connecticut's most trusted roofers for a reason.

Often, we stop and ask why we live in Connecticut, especially when we are faced with the trying rituals of defrosting cars, writing huge checks to oil companies, and figure skating on slippery sidewalks. But us Nutmeggers are hardy and find ways to live accordingly. Part of this due diligence is protecting your home. That gumption combined with a modernized approach to construction has allowed many contractors to make a successful living year-round. It is never too late to winterize your home.
