Roof Replacement Before & After Photos

Michael, a homeowner in South Windsor, CT, decided it was time to replace his worn, 20-year-old shingles to protect his home and enhance its look. Knowing who to call for the most reliable service, he reached out to us at Klaus Larsen Roofing. Our team began by carefully removing the old shingles and inspecting the deck, replacing any damaged plywood to ensure a sturdy foundation. We then applied the SealoronXT Ice & Water Shield and VeloraOne Roof Underlayment for leak protection before installing high-quality IKO Dynasty shingles, built to withstand New England weather. Now, Michael’s home has a fresh, durable roof and is backed by our 50-year warranty for lasting peace of mind. Put a Klaus on Your House!

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!
