Roof Replacement Before & After Photos

This single-family home in Vernon Rockville was in need of a new roof and skylights. After tearing off one layer of existing roofing materials, we replaced 5 sheets of damaged plywood decking. We then installed 3 rows of ice & water barrier near all eaves, valleys, chimneys, and skylights of the roof to ensure the roof is protected against leaks. We also installed an aluminum drip edge around the entire perimeter of the roof as well as black shingles. In terms of skylights, we installed 2 new Velux VS Skylights. We finished the job by replacing the existing chimney flashing with new lead flashing to further protect against water penetration. This house is now complete thanks to Klaus Larsen Roofing! 

This single family was in need of a new roof! After tearing off two layers of existing roofing materials, we replaced 4 damaged sheets of plywood decking. In accordance with the new building code requirements, we were sure to seal off roof deck joints with flashing tape. We also installed two rows of an ice & water barrier near all roof eaves, valleys, chimneys, etc. In terms of shingles, we installed a Klaus Larsen Roofing System with IKO Cambridge Architectural Shingles in the color Dual Grey. We finished the job by removing and replacing the existing exhaust vent hood with a built-in damper on the roof, which included a new flex duct from the fan to the hood. This house is now complete, thanks to Klaus Larsen Roofing!

New roof on a home in Vernon, CT. The home had missing shingles and several leaks. 

This was a strip and re-shingle in Chester, CT for a recently purchased home. The original roof had sustained a great deal of damage from power washing. We do not recommend power washing as it can remove shingle granules and void preexisting insurance policies. Klaus Larsen recycled all of the old asphalt. We also added an all new plywood deck over a dining room addition and rebuilt the skylight curb. The cupola recieved custom flashing, with SmartVent panels incorporated around its base, for ventilation. The homeowner was extremely satisfied with the work, and excited to make a home under their completely restored roof!

Grant and Karen, proud owners of a beautiful home in Chester, CT, knew it was time for an upgrade. Their 26-year-old asphalt shingle roof had a history of leaks around the vent pipe, and they were unsure about the durability of their chimney flashing. With plans to install solar panels, they wanted a solid, reliable roof to ensure long-term protection.

At Klaus Larsen Roofing, we began by removing the old shingles, gaining access to the plywood decking so we could inspect and replace any damaged areas. The deck was then securely re-nailed with 8d ring-shank nails, specifically designed to stay put, giving the roof an extra layer of durability. Next, we upgraded their chimney and skylight flashing, addressing their concerns about leaks and preparing their home for the new roof.

To protect the most vulnerable areas, we applied the Sealoron XT Ice & Water barrier along the edges and valleys, and the VeloraOne Roof Underlayment was used across the rest of the roof to ensure a waterproof seal. With all new flashing in place and every corner fortified, we topped it off with IKO Dynasty shingles—a heavy-duty product designed to withstand winds up to 130 MPH. These heavy-duty shingles ensure Grant and Karen's home is ready to face even the harshest New England weather while adding a fresh, vibrant look.

Now, their home is not only protected for years to come but also prepped for their upcoming solar panel installation. At Klaus Larsen Roofing, we don’t just replace roofs—we deliver peace of mind, craftsmanship, and long-term value. Just ask Grant and Karen!
