Roof Replacement Before & After Photos

George in Colchester, CT, had a 25-year-old roof with aging asphalt shingles and knew it was time for a change. His warm-toned roof had served its purpose for over two decades, but for the safety and protection of his home, George wisely decided that a full roof replacement was necessary. Knowing Klaus Larsen Roofing only provides the highest-quality materials and a thoroughly trained crew, George reached out to us, and we quickly got to work!

The roof replacement process began with a comprehensive roof inspection, ensuring no underlying issues were missed. Once our team confirmed the condition of the roof structure, we stripped off the old asphalt shingles to expose the plywood decking. Any rotting or damaged plywood was replaced to ensure a solid foundation for the new roof installation.

Next, we applied Ice & Water barrier protection to vulnerable areas like valleys and roof edges, crucial for preventing leaks in those high-risk spots. We then installed VeloraOne Roof Underlayment across the rest of the roof, providing an additional shield against leaks, giving George’s home superior protection from water infiltration.

After the underlayment was in place, we completed the roof with new IKO Dynasty shingles, known for their durability and stunning appearance. George chose a color that not only enhanced the aesthetic appeal of his home but also provided long-term weather resistance. The shingles offer a top-tier shingle roofing system designed to withstand harsh elements, ensuring George’s home remains safe and dry for years to come.

Back in 2020, Rose, a homeowner in Colchester, CT, reached out to Klaus Larsen Roofing for a partial roof replacement, needing the front side of her roof renewed. Our team was glad to help, and we ensured her home had the reliable protection it needed. Now, in 2024, Rose has decided it’s time to complete the job with a replacement of the back side of her roof. Our crew got to work, carefully removing the old shingles and inspecting the underlying plywood. Any damaged or rotted boards were promptly replaced with fresh, sturdy plywood, laying the foundation for a strong and long-lasting roof. Next came the SealoronXT Ice & Water Shield, along with the VeloraOne Roof Underlayment—two high-performance layers that form a dependable barrier against leaks and moisture, keeping Rose’s roof watertight through all seasons. To finish, we installed IKO Dynasty shingles in Rose’s chosen color, Atlantic Blue, giving her home a fresh, vibrant look. With her entire roof now renewed and protected, Rose can enjoy the peace of mind that comes with a durable, beautiful roof that’s built to last. The Klaus Roofing Way!

At this 1990s home located in Somers, CT we completely stripped off the existing roof and replaced it with a new roofing system. We first tore off the existing shingles and roofing material and hauled them to the Asphalt Roof Recycling Center to be turned into asphalt pavement for roads.

We then replaced any damaged plywood decking and laid down Ice & Water Shield to create a moisture barrier between the decking and the shingles. For even more protection,  we installed Owens Corning ProArmor Synthetic Underlayment, a durable, tear-resistant material that is engineered to repel water and adhere to the roofing surface. For new asphalt shingles, we used Owens Corning Duration TruDefinition Shingles in the color Driftwood. To top it off, we replaced the old chimney flashing with new lead flashing and installed a VentSure Ridge Vent to provide consistent attic ventilation to the home. 

At this large colonial home located in Somers, CT, we completely stripped and installed a brand new roofing system. After we stripped the old roofing materials off, we replaced any damaged plywood decking. Then, we installed 3 rows of Ice & Water shield to protect the home from any outside moisture.
