Before & After Photos

This Windsor home was getting persistent ice dams, centralized around the valleys of the roof. Proliferating damage was being done with each winter. To ensure the ice build up would not return, we applied a layer of Ice & Water shield on top of new plywood. We also added ventilation at the ridge, to invite air flow and melt any frozen precipitation. The finished shingles are 'Estate Gray.'

Some jobs have unexpected obstacles, like on this house in Portland. Upon removing the old roof, we found a gaping hole in the original construction. This required a full underlying structure rebuild to make it all one plane. With a foundation now providing support underneath, the finished roof turned out fantastic and much sturdier. We understand that every roof is different, and at Klaus Larsen we are always willing to adapt to unforeseen issues. 

Twenty years had gone by since this Gambrel style roof in Portland, CT was replaced. This type of construction dates back to the late 1600s and is perfect for providing more living space and for accommodating future additions. For this job we installed Ice & Water ahead of the drip edge, before extending it to wrap under the fascia. The existing gutter straps were reinstalled under Estate Gray shingles, as part of a complete OC roofing system. 

This single family home in Portland, CT was in need of a new roof. We at Klaus Larsen Roofing started the job by tearing off one layer of existing roofing materials and replacing 4 sheets of damaged plywood decking. We then installed 2 rows of Ice & Water Barrier near all eaves, valleys, chimneys etc. In terms of shingles, we installed Cambridge Architectural Shingles in the color Dual Grey. We installed a ridge vent to keep consistent attic ventilation during the winter season to prevent ice dams. We finished by replacing all flashing along the chimney to further prevent leaking. This house is now complete thanks to Klaus Larsen Roofing. 

The roof of this garage in Portland, CT began to show it's age and required a roof replacement. To begin we disposed of 3 layers of non-recyclable roofing. Next, we replaced the entire roof decking with new sheets of plywood decking. We installed a Synthetic Underlayment to repel water. For shingles, we installed a Klaus Larsen Roofing System using IKO Cambridge Architectural Shingles in the Dual Black colorway. This garage was made new again thanks to Klaus Larsen Roofing!
