Roof Replacement Before & After Photos

This large 1920s home located in New Britain, CT had falling shingles and gaps in the existing roof. This home needed a complete new roofing system to maintain the integrity of the house. This roof did not have any existing plywood decking, which is extremely important to maintain the structure of the roof. To start, we installed brand new plywood decking and topped it with Owens Corning Weatherlock G Ice & Water Shield to protect the interior from any exterior moisture. Then we installed ProArmor Synthetic Underlayment and Owens Corning Oakridge Shingles in the color Onyx Black. 

This single-family home in New Britain was in need of a new roof and sought Klaus Larsen Roofing to handle the job. We started by tearing off 1 layer of existing roofing materials and replacing 5 layers of damaged plywood decking. Next, we installed 3 rows of  Ice & Water Barrier on the front roof and installed a Flex Ice & Water Barrier on the entire rear roof. In terms of shingles, we installed gray asphalt to give this home a fresh new look. Lastly, we installed a VentSure Ridge Vent to provide top-notch consistent attic ventilation. This amazing home just got better thanks to Klaus Larsen!

John reached out to us with the nicest review. Telling us here at Klaus Larsen Roofing how happy he was with how professional the guys that were and the outstanding work that was done to his home. He was so happy with the work that was done on his home that he is recommending us to his friends and family.

Once algae starts to grow on the north facing side of your roof, it's difficult to stop the spores from spreading. The dark streaks are mostly cosmetic, but in time they will join forces with lichen to thrive off the limestone in your asphalt shingles. This weakens the shingle, and eventually deteriorates the entire roof. We gave this New Britain, CT home a fresh start with architectural-style asphalt shingles. Klaus also recommends using zinc strips down the line, to really keep those spores away. 

A home in New Britain was due for a new roof since the home had the same roof from when the home was built in 1978.
