New Homeowners Upgrade Their Home in South Windsor, CT
Challenge
When Brenden and Hope moved into their home in South Windsor, CT, they were excited to make the space their own. But within just two years, they began noticing shingles falling onto their property after every storm. Upon further inspection, they discovered a critical issue. The previous homeowners had gutter guards installed; however, the last company had done them incorrectly, nailing them directly through the roof shingles. This improper installation had compromised the integrity of the roof, causing the shingles to break off during wind and rain. Additionally, they were also experiencing energy inefficiencies throughout the home. The attic had never been properly insulated, leading to fluctuating temperatures, drafts, and higher utility bills. As new homeowners, the attic was something they had initially overlooked, but it had quickly become a problem that couldn’t be ignored. Brenden and Hope needed a long-term, professional solution to restore both the roof and the energy efficiency of their home, and also have gutters that were correctly installed and would last for years to come. With the holidays coming up, they were also in need of a company that could quickly get them on the schedule and do their replacement before they left for the holidays. They contacted different roofing companies until they had their meeting with Klaus Larsen Roofing.
Solution
Klaus Larsen Roofing stepped in with a comprehensive solution designed to address every issue Brenden and Hope were facing. On the day of the installation, our crew began by removing the damaged shingles and installing a full Klaus Roofing System, using IKO Dynasty shingles for long-lasting protection that will keep shingles attached to the roof even with winds up to 130 mph, backed by their wind warranty. Brendan and Hope won't be seeing any more shingles on their front yard anymore with these! Despite the scope of the project, the new roof was fully installed by noon that same day. Along with the roof replacement, we installed a brand-new Gutter Shutter System with properly mounted gutter guards, secured without compromising the shingles, ensuring they would now channel rainfall effectively without causing future damage. To resolve the energy inefficiency, we also added attic insulation, which made a noticeable difference almost immediately. That winter, the couple reported their home stayed warm so consistently they didn’t even notice when a few windows were accidentally left open overnight. During the summer, they found themselves delaying the use of their air conditioning far longer than the previous year. Brenden and Hope now have a secure, energy-efficient home, and they’re glad they tackled issues that are often missed by new homeowners. They also have peace of mind knowing their new roof is backed by a 50-year transferable warranty, The Klaus Roofing Way!
