Roof Repair & Maintenance Before & After Photos

This was a 1 ½ story Cape built in 1948. The homeowner was getting severe ice dams on the front and especially near the rear of his house. They had air sealing and insulation installed, which did not resolve the issue. We found the structure only had gable-end ventilation, so we installed a vented roof deck with 5/8 ISO insulation and covered all of the deck with Ice & Water Shield for an added layer of protection. 

In this house in Haddam, CT the owners were experiencing several leaks in the back of the house. Upon further inspection several pieces of plywood were found to be very rotten and the entire back roof needed to be replaced. Along with the roof, the Fascia board was taken off and replaced with a new composite fascia board.

The flashing here was in remiss, allowing water to seep in and cause damage. We applied wood shakes sourced from a cedar mill in British Columbia, and made sure the flashing around the chimney was renewed. Klaus Larsen works with all aspects of your roof.

Sometimes you don't quite need an entirely new roof. The area where your roof and chimney meet is often overlooked. Over time, the flashing can deteroate, which provides the perfect opportunity for water to directly leak through. Call us today and Klaus Larsen can ensure every crevice over your head is sealed and secure. 

Klaus Larsen is your go to roofer for getting the work you need done, at a price that is actually manageable. For this home in Willington, CT we used financing, and replaced only a section of the roof that was in dire need of rehabilitation. We began by stripping and recycling the old layer of shingles, to get down to the plywood deck. We then replaced any plywood that had been damaged by leaking through the years. After, a protective underlayment is applied with Ice & Water shield, which greatly extends the life of the overall roofing system. You'll be proud to display our sign in your yard!
