Roof Replacement Before & After Photos

Here was a ranch home in Stonington, CT which had a lot of moss and lichen build up on its shingles. Both moss and lichen spores love to take hold and grow on the north side of trees, as well as the shady areas of roofs. Older, 3-tab shingles, like the ones used on this home, were not designed with any type of resistance to this type of fungal growth. Power washing and chemical solvents are not recommended as they will often actually take granules of asphalt off, and can even void some insurance plans! The amount of shade on this roof is still going to be conducive to moss growth, however the Owens Corning Duration shingles we install are manufactured to ward off algae.

The owners of this beautiful, coastal home in Stonington, CT called Klaus Larsen for a roof replacement on their home and garage. First, the Klaus Larsen team tore off a layer of shingles. Next, the damaged roof decking was replaced with new plywood. Three rows of Owens Corning Weatherlock G Ice & Water Shield was installed, along with Owens Corning Duration Shingles, in the color Brownwood. An Owens Corning VentSure Ridge Vent was replaced and installed, allowing these homeowners to feel secure during the rainy days.

A lake house in Woodstock, CT was in need of a roof replacement due to severe storm damage and algae growth throughout the roof. 

This house in Woodstock CT was in need of a new roof. To start the process we tore off and disposed of one layer of existing roofing material, and replaced 5 sheets of damaged plywood decking. We installed 2 rows of ice & water near all roof eaves, valleys, chimneys etc. In terms of shingles, we installed IKO Cambridge Shingles in the color Dual Brown. We installed a brand new ridge vent to ensure consistent attic ventilation. We finished the job by removing and replacing the existing chimney flashing with brand new lead flashing. This house is now complete thanks to Klaus Larsen Roofing!

The roof on this lovely colonial home in North Woodstock, CT had seen better days and was in need of a roof replacement. We took on this project and began by tearing away and disposing of one layer of existing roofing material. After inspecting the roof decking for damage, we found 3 plywood decking sheets that needed to be replaced. With the new decking sheets in position, we then layed down two layers of Ice & Water Barrier to protect the house from rain, sleet, and snow. For additional water resistance, Synthetic Underlayment was adhered to the roof's surface in the spots that were not covered by the Ice & Water Barrier. When it came to the shingles, we installed a Klaus Larsen Roofing System, using Cambridge Architectural Shingles in the Harvard Slate colorway. To finish the job, we installed a ridge vent and replaced the chimney flashing as well as the vent pipe boot. This colonial home is good as new thanks to Klaus Larsen Roofing!
