Roof Replacement Before & After Photos

This unique cape-style home located in Columbia, CT was in need of a roof replacement as it was showing signs of aging and wear. We took on this project by first tearing off the first layer of existing roofing material. Upon inspection of the roof decking, we found 3 damaged plywood decking sheets and replaced them promptly. We then installed two rows of Ice & Water Barrier as well as a layer of Synthetic Underlayment to protect the home from the elements. For the shingles, we installed a Klaus Larsen Roofing System using Cambridge Architectural Shingles in the Dual Black colorway. We finished this job by installing a new ridge vent to provide ventilation to the attic as well as replacing the flashing on the chimneys. This small cape home looks brand new thanks to Klaus Larsen Roofing!

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.
