Klaus Larsen Roofing Before & After Photos

Here was a Willimantic Victorian, with two apartments under one roof. Tenants were experiencing some leaking, and the landlord called Klaus Larsen to determine the cause of the problem. We consistently advise staying away from using 3-tab shingles, which lay side by side and are non-dimensional. They typically blur the line between an inexpensive and 'cheap' product. This roof was replaced with Duration architectural shingles, with Mule Hide purpose made flat roofing on the front shed roof deck.  

This homeowner in Willimantic had a roof that was 30 years old and it had no plywood underneath. All new plywood deck had to be installed before the new Duration Desert Tan shingles could be put on.  Call or contact us today to receive a free price estimate for your next roofing project.

This single-family home in Willimantic was in need of a roof replacement. To start, we tore off one layer of existing roofing material and installed a new plywood deck over the existing structural framing of the roof. In accordance with the new building code requirements, we taped all roof joints with self-adhering flashing tape. We then installed a synthetic underlayment to all areas of the roof that does not have an ice & water barrier. In terms of shingles, we installed a Klaus Larsen Roofing System with IKO Cambridge architectural Shingles in the color Weatherwood. We finished the job by removing and replacing the existing chimney flashing with brand new lead flashing. 

What a beautiful transformation when we installed our Klaus Larsen seamless gutters system on this home in Willimantic, CT—the Klaus Roofing Way! What are the advantages of installing seamless gutters? The seamless design prevents the common issues associated with sectional gutters, ensuring the home is well-protected from water damage, mold, pest infestation, and other problems. Our specialized equipment is used right at the home to create one continuous piece, which is molded to fit the exact length and shape of the roof's edge. 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. Our Klaus Larsen seamless gutter system's extra large 6" gutter size carries 20% more water than standard 5" gutters! To further help direct the flow of rainwater away from the foundation correctly, we installed 3" x 4" aluminum downspouts to match the gutters using Klaus Larsen Wide Mouth Outlets! And with the added RainDrop Pro Gutter Guard made a great combination for gutter clogging and leaking problems, both provided and installed by Klaus Larsen Roofing!
