Before Drone Visual
This bird's-eye view allows you to see the worn-down state of this roof. Although it may not seem necessary, it is important to replace your roof after 20 years of enduring New England's harsh elements to protect your home's structure and safety. As a bonus, choosing the perfect color for your new shingles with the IKO Dynasty Architectural shingles can effortlessly transform your house into the home of your dreams.
Before Chimney Flashing
Leaks around your chimney can arise from wear and tear over time, making it important to properly install a chimney flashing that will last. Here at Klaus Larsen Roofing, we have the best materials and experience necessary to give you the protection you deserve.
Protecting The Property
When stripping an old roof, we make sure the house and surrounding property is protected from any falling debris. Our workers and materials protect your landscaping, windows, siding, and driveway from any damage - and look cool in the process.
Old Roofing Stripped
At this point, the old roof has been stripped, revealing the wooden deck below through our decking inspection. Now begins the thorough process of preparing the decking for your new shingles and your home's new look by replacing any old, rotted plywood with our new industry-leading plywood.
Applying Our Ice and Water Seal & Deck Tape
Now that the old roof has been stripped, we add on our very own high quality Ice and Water Sealing Membrane. This prevents any water from seeping into the wood from under a shingle resulting in a leak. Our membrane is fully adhered to the plywood, so when nails puncture through it, there are no open spots for water to sneak through.
Work-In-Progress
At this point, the Ice & Water is applied, the plywood boards are taped together, and our high performance Valor synthetic underlayment is covering the rest of the deck.
Preparing Hip & Ridge Shingles
Here you can see the preparation of a Hip & Ridge installation, as well as a new aluminum drip edge. Most roof installation jobs are completed in one day- like this one in Woodstock, CT, ensuring no disruption to your daily routine and preventing any weather related damage.
New Chimney Flashing
This chimney had a through renovation with key upgrades: 1. Ice and Water Membrane: A membrane is placed around the base of the chimney, providing a watertight seal preventing any leaks that could seep into the wood below. 2. Step Flashing: Placed around the chimney, metal pieces are overlapped and integrated with the shingles, ensuring proper drainage of water. 3. Lead Counter Flashing: This flashing is highly resistant to weathering and is another barrier against water intrusion. These three layers result in a sleek chimney, but also provide reliable protection against the elements.
Completed Look
After our Klaus Roofing Systems Installation, this Woodstock, CT home is a breath of fresh air. The homeowner chose IKO Dynasty Architectural shingles in color Glacier. The roof's sleek dark shingles, aluminum edges, and its newly installed chimney flashing completely transform the already unique home. This new roof is made to last with our 50 year roofing warranty-installed "The Klaus Roofing Way."
