Roof Replacement Before & After Photos

Check out the transformation for this home's roof in Colchestser CT with a full Klaus Larsen Roofing System! It was time for a new roof, and this homeowner chose to Put a Klaus on Their House! We first replaced any damaged plywood and renailed the existing decking with Ring Shank Nails, a higher quality nail that is a cross between a nail and a screw and won't come out in high winds. We then laid down our Klaus Larsen Roofing SealoronXT Ice & Water self-sealing membrane to create a moisture barrier between the decking and the shingles. We also added 100 extra feet of Ice & Water for the lower slope roof on left rear of house. For even more protection, we installed our own Velora One Underlayment, a high performance synthetic underlayment designed to protect the home in even the most severe weather. We also took the extra step to protect the home by taping the the plywood steams with our all-weather SealoronXT Deck Tape. It's the Klaus Roofing Way! To top itoff, for new asphalt shingles, we installed IKO Dynasty Architectural Shingles featuring a 1-1/4" nailing area made with a tough reinforcing woven band for incredible nail-holding power to protect the home against Mother Nature's fury. The homeowner choose the shingle color Frostone Grey for their new roof.

This Colchester, CT roof was due for a Klaus Larsen Roofing upgrade, and we delivered! At Klaus, we pride ourselves on using top-tier materials to ensure your home is protected from the elements.

First, we applied our Sealoron XT deck tape. This innovative tape safeguards the decking by sealing the gaps between boards, allowing for expansion and contraction without the risk of water intrusion into the attic. Next, we installed an Ice & Water barrier around all edges and valleys, providing extra protection in the roof's most vulnerable areas. Finally, we covered the remaining deck with Velora One Roof Underlayment, creating a solid barrier between the shingles and wooden decking. This extra layer of defense ensures that even in the fiercest storms, your home stays dry and secure.

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.
