Before & After Photos

The owners had an old roof that was standing on its last leg. They knew they had to replace it soon or otherwise they would have real problems. It was not simple, however, because they had several old dome skylights in their porch. Skylights are an extra cost to replace and the owners didn't use them much. After our crews tore off the roof, the removed the skylights are installed new 1/2" CDX plywood over the openings. Once the skylights openings were sealed the roofing system could go over the framing.

This hipped roof in Norwich had tongue and groove boards underneath the roof instead of plywood. Boards will often be found in older homes build in the 40's and 50's. Some boards were damaged and needed to be replaced before the new Asphalt Estate Gray roof was installed. The roof, ridge vent, chimney flashing, and a flat roof section were all replaced on the same day!

This roof replacement in Chaplin was unique because the owners used what is called a 203K loan. A 203K is a home improvement loan that was used to replace the roof along with several other projects. Klaus Larsen Roofing is registered to handle 203K loans and even offers financing. 

This house in Chaplin needed a ridge vent and a new roofing system for the gabled roof (on the right). The Dutch colonial roof was in better shape and only needed the upper roof, chimney flashing, and vent boot replaced. All of this was done in the Winter and the shingles are in excellent condition. Klaus Larsen has the experience and the know-how to do Winter Roofing!

Nature can only be kept at bay for so long. On this Gales Ferry project, the roof was being smothered by lichen and moss. Aside from being unsightly, moss retains moisture and will hasten the damage done by frost in the winter months. Atlas Pinnacle Pristine Tan shingles were used to restore this roof, and give it a healthy new glow.
