Before Klaus Larsen Roof Replacement
In this before photo, you can see the signs of a roof that's ready to be replaced. The once vibrant shingles have become faded and worn, showing years of exposure to the elements. Moss has begun to grow, a common issue when moisture accumulates, leading to further damage over time. These visible signs indicate the roof is no longer providing the necessary protection for the home. A full roof replacement is needed to restore both the beauty and the integrity of the roofing.
The Plywood Decking
At this stage of the project, the old, worn-out shingles have been completely stripped off and discarded, revealing the plywood decking underneath. Now fully exposed, the crew can assess the condition of the decking, identifying any damaged or rotting boards that need attention. This is a critical step in the roof replacement process, as any compromised boards will be replaced to ensure a solid foundation for the new roofing materials. By addressing these issues now, we're giving this roof a true fresh start, ensuring long-lasting strength and protection for the home.
Adding The Protection
In this photo, you can see the tan VeloraOne Roof Underlayment securely covering the plywood decking, providing a crucial layer of protection against the harsh elements. This underlayment acts as a barrier, shielding the wood from moisture and preventing future issues. Along the roof's edges, the white layer you see is the SealoronXT Ice & Water Seal, designed specifically for the roof's more vulnerable areas. This heavy-duty seal reinforces the edges, valleys, and other critical zones, ensuring that no leaks or water damage will occur, even in severe weather. Together, these materials create a durable, watertight system that will keep the home protected for years to come.
The Finished Look
This final look showcases the flat roof section of the home, which was expertly replaced using PolyGlass to ensure long-lasting durability. This material provides a solid barrier, giving every part of the roof the protection it needs to withstand the elements for years to come. The new IKO shingles on the sloped areas add a sleek, modern appearance, completely transforming the home's exterior. With both functionality and style in mind, this roof replacement not only enhances curb appeal but also ensures the home is fully protected from top to bottom.
