Roof Replacement Before & After Photos

This was a strip and re-shingle in Chester, CT for a recently purchased home. The original roof had sustained a great deal of damage from power washing. We do not recommend power washing as it can remove shingle granules and void preexisting insurance policies. Klaus Larsen recycled all of the old asphalt and installed a full Owens Corning Roofing System in Slatestone Gray TruDefinition Duration shingles. We also added an all new plywood deck over a dining room addition and rebuilt the skylight curb. The cupola recieved custom flashing, with SmartVent panels incorporated around its base, for ventilation. The homeowner was extremely satisfied with the work, and excited to make a home under their completely restored roof!

This colonial style home in Chester, CT was built in 1993 and in need of a roof, gutter and trim replacement. Klaus Larsen Roofing started by tearing off one layer of existing roofing materials and replacing one layer of damaged plywood decking. We then installed 2 rows of Weatherlock G Ice & Water Barrier near all eaves, valleys, chimneys etc. In terms of shingles, we installed Cambridge Architectural Shingles in the color Dual Black. For gutters, we installed Aluminum Seamless Gutters by Englert, in the color Hi-Gloss White. For trim, we installed new custom bent aluminum rake metal on all rakes, in the color white. This house is now looking better than ever thanks to Klaus Larsen Roofing!

This single-family ranch was in need of a new roof and decided to trust Klaus Larsen Roofing with the job. To start, we tore off 2 layers of existing roofing materials and replaced 5 layers of damaged plywood decking. We then installed 3 rows of Ice & Water Barrier near all eaves, valleys, chimneys etc. In terms of shingles, we installed a traditional tan to compliment the homes exterior. Lastly, we installed brand new chimney flashing, a new attic vent and vent hood. This house is now complete thanks to Klaus Larsen Roofing!

Grant and Karen, proud owners of a beautiful home in Chester, CT, knew it was time for an upgrade. Their 26-year-old asphalt shingle roof had a history of leaks around the vent pipe, and they were unsure about the durability of their chimney flashing. With plans to install solar panels, they wanted a solid, reliable roof to ensure long-term protection.

At Klaus Larsen Roofing, we began by removing the old shingles, gaining access to the plywood decking so we could inspect and replace any damaged areas. The deck was then securely re-nailed with 8d ring-shank nails, specifically designed to stay put, giving the roof an extra layer of durability. Next, we upgraded their chimney and skylight flashing, addressing their concerns about leaks and preparing their home for the new roof.

To protect the most vulnerable areas, we applied the Sealoron XT Ice & Water barrier along the edges and valleys, and the VeloraOne Roof Underlayment was used across the rest of the roof to ensure a waterproof seal. With all new flashing in place and every corner fortified, we topped it off with IKO Dynasty shingles—a heavy-duty product designed to withstand winds up to 130 MPH. These heavy-duty shingles ensure Grant and Karen's home is ready to face even the harshest New England weather while adding a fresh, vibrant look.

Now, their home is not only protected for years to come but also prepped for their upcoming solar panel installation. At Klaus Larsen Roofing, we don’t just replace roofs—we deliver peace of mind, craftsmanship, and long-term value. Just ask Grant and Karen!

This before-and-after photo from Chester, CT offers a close-up view of the details of this roof replacement. In the before image, the shingles are covered in a layer of white staining, with the color visibly leaking down the roof, creating an unsightly and unwanted appearance. This is certainly not the image the homeowners wanted for their property. During the roof replacement, our skilled team removed the old, worn flashing around the chimney. We then installed an Ice & Water seal around the chimney, ensuring a tight, leak-free barrier. Afterward, we applied new, high-quality aluminum flashing to provide both protection and aesthetic appeal. The after photo highlights the progress of the installation, showcasing the clean, sleek look of the newly flashed chimney. Not only does it elevate the appearance of the roof, but it also offers long-lasting protection, ensuring no future leaks. This transformation is a testament to the quality craftsmanship and attention to detail you can expect from Klaus Larsen Roofing!
