Before & After Photos

Richard in Katonah reached out as his roof was nearing 25 years old and starting to show its age. One of his main concerns was a leaking skylight that he wanted completely removed to avoid ongoing water issues.

During the evaluation, we noted the home had four gable areas, two with exposed gable vents and two tied into cathedral ceilings on the second floor. We recommended closing off the gable vents and updating the ventilation system for better overall performance, but Richard chose to keep the existing setup.

We moved forward with a full roof replacement, removing the old system and installing a new one using SealoronXT Ice & Water Shield in critical areas, VeloraONE Roof Underlayment across the roof deck, and SealoronXT Deck Tape to seal the plywood seams and help prevent moisture intrusion.

The new roof was finished with IKO Dynasty shingles in Shadow Brown. The white trim and white drip edge give it a clean, sharp contrast, while the chimney flashing was done in brown to match the shingles and tie everything together.

With the skylight removed and a full roofing system in place, Richard’s home is now better protected and set up for long-term performance.

Lou from Southington, CT, is a loyal customer of Klaus Larsen Roofing. We previously installed a new roof on his last home, so when he purchased a new house with a 30-year-old roof, he knew exactly who to call. Returning to the experts he trusts, Lou contacted us to give his beautiful new home the refresh it needed.

At Klaus Larsen, we take pride in delivering the best for our customers. When we stripped down Lou's old roof, we replaced any rotting or damaged boards with fresh Klaus Plywood, ensuring a strong foundation for the new roof. To protect this base, we applied several layers of seals to keep the plywood in top condition and safeguard his home.

First, we used Sealoron XT Deck Tape to secure the plywood boards while allowing for breathability between them. This tape is the first line of defense, preventing water from seeping through any gaps. Next, we applied Sealoron XT Ice & Water Shield to the edges and vulnerable areas of the roof, providing extra protection where it’s needed most. Finally, the Velora One Roof Underlayment was installed across the remaining surface, adding a crucial barrier between the shingles and the plywood.

For the finishing touch, Lou chose IKO Dynasty shingles in Granite Black—the best in the industry—to complete his home's fresh, modern look.

Another successful project done the Klaus Roofing Way!

A beautiful transformation for this home's roof in Wethersfield, CT with a full Klaus Larsen Roofing System! This home's asphalt shingled roof was over 20 years old and in need of a replacement. We first replaced any damaged plywood and renailed the existing decking with Ring Shank Nails, a higher quality nail that is a cross between a nail and a screw and won't come out in high winds. We then laid down our Klaus Larsen Roofing SealoronXT Ice & Water self-sealing membrane to create a moisture barrier between the decking and the shingles. We also added 100 extra feet of Ice & Water for the lower slope roof on left rear of house. For even more protection, we installed our own Velora One Underlayment, a high performance synthetic underlayment designed to protect the home in even the most severe weather. We also took the extra step to protect the home by taping the plywood steams with our all-weather SealoronXT Deck Tape. It's the Klaus Roofing Way! To top it off, for new asphalt shingles, we installed IKO Dynasty Architectural Shingles featuring a 1-1/4" nailing area made with a tough reinforcing woven band for incredible nail-holding power to protect the home against Mother Nature's fury. The homeowner choose the shingle color Cornerstone for their new roof.

Kyle in Wethersfield, CT reached out to us when his roof, nearly 24 years old, was clearly past its prime. To give his home a modern look and long-term protection, we performed a complete roof replacement using IKO Dynasty shingles in Granite Black. During the process, we stripped away the old shingles, applied SealoronXT Deck Tape over all the plywood seams, layered SealoronXT Ice & Water in the vulnerable zones, and rolled out VeloraONE underlayment across the rest of the surface. The new IKO shingles were then installed, offering algae-resistant copper granules and a 130 mph wind warranty. The results? Kyle's home now sports a sleek, dark Granite Black roof that’s not only visually striking but built to stand up to New England weather for decades to come. The Klaus Roofing Way!
