Klaus Larsen Roofing Before & After Photos

When the homeowner purchased their split-level home just a year ago, they were quickly informed by their insurance company that the roof needed to be replaced within the first year. The existing roof had significant granular loss, which not only affected its appearance but more importantly, its ability to protect the home. Granular loss weakens the shingles and can lead to leaks and other damage over time, so the homeowner knew they had to act fast. Wanting to ensure their home was well-protected and looking sharp, they reached out to Klaus Larsen Roofing for help.

The homeowner was clear about wanting Brownstone shingles for the replacement, which would enhance the home’s curb appeal while providing the long-term durability they needed. With blown-in insulation in the attic crawl space, we had to be especially mindful during the installation to ensure no disturbance. Following the Klaus Roofing way, we provided a detailed inspection and laid out a clear plan to replace the roof with minimal disruption, using high-quality materials and expert craftsmanship. Our goal was to ensure the homeowner had a roof that would stand up to the elements and meet all the requirements from their insurance company.

The homeowner contacted Klaus Larsen Roofing for a quote to replace her aging roof. While she didn’t know the exact age of the roof, she noted it was old and in need of replacement. Concerned about ensuring her home was well-protected, she was eager to explore options for a durable and modern roofing solution.

Our team scheduled an inspection to assess the roof’s condition and provide recommendations for materials and installation. Following The Klaus Roofing Way, we evaluated the structure to ensure a thorough understanding of the project requirements. We discussed high-quality shingle options with the homeowner, tailoring recommendations to meet her preferences and budget.

The homeowner appreciated the clear communication and expertise provided during the

consultation. With a plan in place, she felt confident in moving forward, knowing her new roof would enhance both the protection and appearance of her home. This project exemplifies The Klaus Roofing Way’s commitment to quality, transparency, and customer satisfaction.

A homeowner on the east side of Columbus, OH, contacted us after discovering significant damage caused by a raccoon in their attic. The animal had torn off sections of the sheathing from the inside, leading to a leak. While the homeowner attempted an interior fix, they needed a professional assessment and repair from the outside. Their immediate priority was to have the damaged area tarped if possible, and they inquired about potential senior citizen or veteran discounts.

For the repair, we replaced the back slope using IKO Frostone Grey shingles, with the homeowner understanding that it would not match the front slope. To ensure long-term durability and protection, we applied an ice and water membrane according to KRS specifications—6 feet at eaves wrapped onto the fascia, 18 inches on either side of valleys, and around all roof penetrations. We also installed KRS Velora 1 Synthetic Underlayment on all decking areas without ice and water barriers, providing a tear-resistant, water-repelling layer. To further reinforce the roof, we added brown F-8 aluminum drip edge flashing along all eaves, sealing it with 4-inch modified Bitumen tape to prevent water backup in the event of ice dams. With these repairs, the homeowner can rest assured that their roof is now properly sealed and protected from further damage.

In Columbus, OH, a homeowner reached out to Klaus Larsen Roofing after noticing a leak developing above their bathroom. The current roofing system was installed roughly 20 years ago and had begun to show signs of age, particularly in high-moisture areas. Our roof repair contractor team conducted a thorough inspection and confirmed that deterioration around flashing and worn shingles were contributing to water intrusion. With easy access to the rear of the home, the crew will perform the necessary roof replacement work efficiently. Tree branches overhanging the area will be trimmed and left on-site as requested, ensuring a clear path for installation. With a new roofing system in place, the homeowner can look forward to a leak-free, weather-secure home delivered by a trusted roof repair and replacement company.

Following a severe storm, your first roofing concern is whether or not the storm caused any leakage that might damage your home’s interior. Even if your roof does survive a hail storm without leaking, there may still be significant damage. That’s why it’s important to call in an experienced roofing expert like Klaus Larsen Roofing to check your roof for damage. That’s exactly what this homeowner did after a recent storm.

Based on the damage he saw, Inspector Brian Thom recommended a full roof replacement and our crew got to work right away. Our roof replacement services provided this home with a beautiful and strong roof that will last for years to come.
