This one-family colonial home in Manchester, CT was due for a roof replacement. To start this project we tore off and disposed of one layer of asphalt roofing. We then inspected the roof decking and replaced 5 sheets of damaged plywood decking. We installed two rows of Ice & Water Barrier and then a layer of Synthetic Underlayment to repel water and protect from inclement weather. For shingles, we installed a Klaus Larsen Roofing System using IKO Dynasty Shingles in the Granite Black colorway. To finish off this project we installed a new chimney flashing and vent pipe boot. This colonial home is now complete thanks to Klaus Larsen Roofing!
To begin this job we started by tearing away one layer of existing roofing material. Next, we evaluated the condition of the roof decking and determined that there were 3 sheets that were damaged and needed replacing. After the sheets of plywood decking were replaced, we then installed two rows of IKO Storm Shield Ice & Water Barrier as well as a synthetic underlayment to provide the home protection from the elements. For shingles, we installed a Klaus Larsen Roofing System using IKO Dynasty Architectural Shingles in the Atlantic Blue colorway. To finish the job we installed a ridge vent to maintain consistent attic ventilation and we also installed a brand new vent pipe boot.
This homeowner in Manchester, CT reached out to us about a roof cleaning. What is the Klaus Roofing Way to clean a home's roof? We use a soft wash cleaning method, which means that we do not power wash! Power washing will remove granules from roofing shingles, significantly reducing the life of your roof. Our goal is to extend the life of the roof by removing harmful organic growth from roofing shingles. We begin by protecting your home's landscape. We then apply our roof cleaning solution made up of household cleaners and surfactants. This solution immediately starts to work as it kills mold, mildew, algae, moss, or any other organic growth on your roof surface. Our solution is then left on the roof surface to ensure all organic growth has been killed down to the roots, meaning it's gone for good.
From there, we simply let mother nature take its course. Over the next 14 days, the rainwater will naturally rinse off all dead organic matter that was killed off during our soft wash process.
Eric, who is in Manchester, CT, was dealing with leaks that were starting to take a toll on his home. Instead of waiting for the problem to get worse, he opted for a partial roof replacement to stop the damage in its tracks. Our team removed the problem areas, reinforced the roof with SealoronXT Ice & Water shield, and installed fresh decking where needed. To complete the transformation, we installed IKO shingles in Granite Black, giving Eric’s home a sharp new look with lasting protection. Now, his roof is leak-free and built to handle whatever the weather brings!
These homeowners had been struggling with a 27-year-old roof that developed a leak from poorly installed chimney flashing five years ago. Luckily, with a Klaus Larsen Roof Replacement, we fixed the issue by installing proper chimney flashing. This not only stopped the leaks but also gave the roof a much-needed refresh.
It’s crucial to go with a trusted company that genuinely cares about your home’s safety and structure. Skimping on repairs can lead to more problems down the line. With Klaus Larsen Roofing, you get a reliable fix that ensures your home is in top shape. That’s the Klaus Roofing Way.
