Roof Replacement Before & After Photos

Check out this roof re-do in Mystic, Connecticut!

A beautiful home in Mystic, CT was due for a roof replacement after the flashing, vent boot, and roof needed a lot of TLC. 

This beautiful home in Mystic, CT, is owned by Steve, whose roof, though not leaking, was nearing 30 years old! That's a long time for a roof, and the before photo showed black marks and weathering, indicating that it was time for a replacement to ensure the safety and structural integrity of the home.

To transform this roof, our crew undertook an intensive process that not only gave the home a sleek, refreshed look but also provided a durable roof that will protect against leaks and issues for decades to come.

When installing the anti-leak barriers, we at Klaus Larsen Roofing use three different types of sheets. The first is Sealoron XT Deck Tape, a flexible tape that allows the wooden plywood boards to breathe while covering the gaps between them, ensuring no water infiltrates your home.

Next, we apply two different underlayments. The first is the Sealoron XT Ice & Water barrier, which keeps all water out by covering the most vulnerable areas of the roof, including all edges (with a width of 6 feet), eaves, and valleys. This membrane protects these areas from wind-driven rain and water damage.

Lastly, the Velora One Roof Underlayment is installed over the rest of the fresh decking, creating a protective layer between the shingles and the decking. This extremely durable layer guards your roof against the damaging effects of wind-driven rain and water vapor. Even in the most severe weather, it will protect your home if exposed due to a shingle flying off—though that’s unlikely with IKO Dynasty shingles, which come with a 130 MPH wind warranty!

Steve chose the shingle color Granite Black to top off his home.

Put a Klaus on Your House!

In Mystic, CT, homeowner Jeff was ready to replace his 26-year-old roof. After meeting with a sales inspector from Klaus Larsen Roofing, Jeff knew he made the right choice. Offering only high-quality materials and highly trained workers, Jeff was excited to put a Klaus on his house. The process began by removing all the shingles from the old roof, inspecting the decking for any damage, and replacing any rotting plywood. Then, we installed SealoronXT Ice & Water protection and a high-quality VeloraOne Roof Underlayment to ensure maximum protection against leaks. Finally, the new shingles were applied, completing the roof replacement and giving Jeff’s home the protection it needs for years to come. Put a Klaus on Your House!

The roof here on this Preston, CT home is comprised of one layer of OC True Def Duration Desert Tan shingles. Underneath we have multiple layers of moisture protection, including Owens Corning ProArmor Synthetic underlayment with three rows of Ice & Water shield adhered to all eaves and valleys. The rear deck was made of an exotic hardwood, so we took special care and extra precautions to prevent any damage during the removal of the old roof. This involved covering that deck with tarps and then covering the tarps with plywood, so there would be absolutely no damage or scratches.
