Klaus Larsen Roofing Before & After Photos

Here in Manchester, CT we did a full replacement of the roof on a two car garage, with an attached shed. We took care of disposing of the old materials, as well as providing and installing new plywood. Call us today to set up your free estimate with one of our sales reps. We would love to hear from you - whether you have a job that is big or small in scale.  

This Manchester, CT roof was 23 years old and beginning to show signs of its age, with algae streaks and prevalent discoloration. The overhauled roof came equipped with all new aluminum seamless gutters & downspouts, as well as the 'seal, defend and breathe. Balanced attic ventilation, protection against nature's elements and a water-proof barrier are all components that must work in conjunction with one another, to be a functioning roof system. Every Klaus Larsen roof is installed with strict adherence to this criterion.

Here was a condo in Manchester, CT where the existing roof was malfunctioning. The first step was to tear off the original shingles, to be recycled into asphalt for paving CT roads. Klaus Larsen applied a combination of Ice & Water shield and underlayment to protect the plywood decking against moisture. We also replaced the vent pipe boots and added a VentSure Ridge Vent to increase ventilation and reduce the buildup of condensation. The shingles used here were GAF Timberline HD in Charcoal.  

This small home in Manchester had 2 layers of shingles and needed new intake vents in the soffit. We replaced the ridge vents and installed new Cobra Fascia vents. Also, new aluminum seamless gutters were installed on the house. 

Whether your home is small or large the time comes when the roof needs to be replaced. It could be because the roof is leaking or you it may be that the roof is just old and you don't want it to start leaking. This home had a roof had 3-tab shingles that were over 20 years old which is about how long a 3-tab shingle will last. By this point, the shingles had become completely blackened by algae. Our crews came and started around 7:00 am. They attached tarps to the roof edge before tearing the roof off. Then they removed the old skylight and covered the opening with plywood. Next, we installed self-sealing Ice & Water barrier nine feet up the roof. The crew also installed it around the dormer and in the valleys to protect those vulnerable areas. Above the Ice & Water, the Synthetic underlayment was nailed down.
