Check out the beautiful transformation for this home in East Hartford, CT! Klaus Larsen Roofing not only services homes for roof replacements but also offers reliable seamless gutter systems which prevents the common issues associated with sectional gutters, ensuring your home is well-protected from water damage, mold, pest infestation, and other problems. This home in East Hartford, CT needed both with missing roof tiles and leaking in the second floor. We installed a full Klaus Roofing System on both the main house and garage as well as seamless gutters. 

To protect the home and prevent leaks in the future, we first replaced any damaged plywood decking and laid down our Klaus Larsen Roofing SealoronXT Ice & Water self-sealing membrane to create a moisture barrier between the decking and the shingles. 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 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 chose the shingle color Brownstone for their new roof.

The custom construction of seamless gutters ensures they not only fit better but look and perform better too. Sectional or seamed gutters are vulnerable to rust and cracked or sagging seams and can begin pulling away from the roofline over time. Seamless gutters offer superior protection for your home than traditional sectional gutters.

Many 2 family homes that we visit in Connecticut have two layers of shingles on them. This home in East Hartford was no exception. Not only did the roof have an layer of asphalt shingles but it had Cedar Shakes underneath. When we tore off the roof, we found furring strips. The furring strips are thin boards spaced apart to help the cedar roof to breathe. The asphalt shingles were nailed down into the furring strips but many of the nails went between the furring strips are were not firmly secured. In short, the asphalt did not last as long as it should. We solved this by installing 1/2” CDX Plywood over the furring strips. The broad plywood filled the gaps and strengthened the roof deck so it could carry architectural shingles. Once the plywood was down, we installed nine feet of WeatherLock Ice & Water barrier. Above the Ice & Water we installed ProArmor synthetic underlayment. After we got the underlayment down, we installed Owens Corning, color: Estate Grey, Duration shingles. The roof on this 2-story building was removed, replaced, and cleaned up in only two days. Our crews have hundreds of roofs of experience and when Klaus Larsen installed your roof you get Owens Corning Platinum Contractor 50-year warranty.

The home in East Hartford is owned by a Condo Association. They took action to get a couple leaking roofs replaced. This home had 2 layers of shingles that needed to be torn off. Both layers were removed from the property and taken away to be recycled. Before the roof could go on, any and all rotten plywood was replaced with new 1/2" plywood. Once that is done the 9' of Ice & Water barrier was installed on the roof. This layer protects your home from water from rain or ice dams. Next, the remaining plywood is covered with ProArmor synthetic underlayment. Lastly, comes the shingles. We use Owens Corning Duration shingles and nail them in place with 6 nails per shingle. The nailing area itself is clearly marked and strengthened by the SureNail strip that Owens Corning designed. The smaller flat roof was also torn off and replaced. We installed Mulehide Mod Bit roofing. This is commercial grade flat roofing that comes in 2-layers to protect your home. The leaks are stopped and the roof now has Onyx Black Duration Shingles.
