We worked with this homeowner in East Haddam, CT to put a new Klaus Roofing System on their home. This home had an asphalt shingled roof that was 24 years old and in need of a replacement. We first replaced any damaged plywood and renailed the existing decking with Ring Shank Nails, a higher quality nail that is a cross between a nail and a screw and won't come out in high winds. We then laid down our Klaus Larsen Roofing SealoronXT Ice & Water self-sealing membrane to create a moisture barrier between the decking and the shingles. We also added 100 extra feet of Ice & Water for the lower slope roof on left rear of house. For even more protection, we installed our own Velora One Underlayment, a high performance synthetic underlayment designed to protect the home in even the most severe weather. We also took the extra step to protect the home by taping the plywood steams with our all-weather SealoronXT Deck Tape. It's the Klaus Roofing Way! To top it off, for new asphalt shingles, we installed IKO Dynasty Architectural Shingles featuring a 1-1/4" nailing area made with a tough reinforcing woven band for incredible nail-holding power to protect the home against Mother Nature's fury. The homeowner choose the shingle color Granite Black for their new roof.
This Vernon, CT home had a twenty-five year old roof on it, which is a little over the average life expectancy of asphalt shingles. If your roof is approaching a quarter life crisis, give us a call for a free consultation with one of our experts.
The owners of this property had an old roof and leaks from Ice Dams. The Ice dams were causing water to come into the large bay window in the front of the house. The owners wanted the Ice Dams completely gone so they asked for our Vented Deck solution. A vented deck is a system of a built up second layer of plywood that allows air to pass between the two pieces. This keeps the roof deck cold and prevents from melting and refreezing on the roof.
These owners came to the 2017 Spring HBRA and visited Klaus Larsen's booth and got a free and thorough estimate. They were looking for a permanent solution for their home because they already had 2 layers on the house and wanted this to be the last time dealing with the roof. So they got the Owens Corning Duration shingle in Estate Gray with our Platinum 50-year warranty.
This owner in Vernon heard about us from a neighbor and chose us to replace the roof on the house and attached garage. Here we installed Onyx Black Duration shingles by Owens Corning. The homeowners was very happy about the process and the finished product!
