Klaus Larsen Roofing of Hudson Valley Before & After Photos

This homeowner in Newburgh, NY reached out to us in need for a full roof cleaning.

What is the Klaus Roofing Way roof cleaning process? We use a soft wash cleaning method, which means that we do not power wash! Power washing will remove granules from roofing shingles, significantly reducing the life of the roof. Our goal is to extend the life of the roof by removing harmful organic growth from roofing shingles. We begin by protecting your home's landscape. We then apply our roof cleaning solution made up of household cleaners and surfactants. This solution immediately starts to work as it kills mold, mildew, algae, moss, or any other organic growth on the roof's surface. Our solution is then left on the roof surface to ensure all organic growth has been killed down to the roots, meaning it's gone for good.

From there, we simply let mother nature take its course. Over the next 14 days, the rainwater will naturally rinse off all dead organic matter that was killed off during our soft wash process.

This home in Newburgh, NY underwent a significant upgrade from outdated, narrow gutters to the superior Gutter Shutter system by Klaus Larsen Roofing. Jonathan and Tara were on the hunt for a trusted company to provide and install new gutters for their home. Thankfully, they reached out to Klaus Larsen Roofing, where we are able to provide the best for our clients. Gutter Shutter is renowned for its top-quality materials and exceptional durability. Unlike traditional gutters, Gutter Shutter guarantees no clogs, leaks, sagging, or detachment from your home. In the 'before' photo, the old gutters appear narrow and flimsy. Contrasting with the 'after' photo, the transformation is striking. Gutter Shutter's downspouts are twice the width of conventional ones, ensuring reliable performance with no clogs and swift water flow to prevent any sagging issues. The rain guard featured in the 'after' photo effectively blocks debris from entering, thanks to its seamless design and small top perforations that only permit water passage. Jonathan and Tara are now worry free, and are even getting ready for the next step of their home renovation- a Klaus Larsen roof replacement!  

This 12-year-old home in Newburgh, NY, developed a roof leak, prompting the homeowner to seek a free roof repair quote. Upon inspection, we identified two primary issues: one leak from the pipe boot and another due to missing shingles. We were happy to help solve these problems and restore the roof.

As shown in the before and after, we replaced the exhaust vent hood with a built-in damper on the roof and installed a new flex duct from the fan to the hood. The vent pipe boot was reinforced with a Perma-Boot for added protection. Before that, we removed the damaged shingles to access the plywood beneath and replaced any compromised decking. To further safeguard the roof, we applied the SealoronXT Ice & Water membrane before installing new shingles. We also secured the shingles with six-ring shank roofing nails, ensuring a firm and long-lasting hold. This thorough process guarantees the roof will protect the home for years to come! The Klaus Roofing Way!

Original roof was 30 years old and needed new flashing around the chimney that was causing leaks.
