Roof Replacement Before & After Photos

This is a roof we did in Bemidji Minnesota. It consists of Metal Sales Image II Standing Seam, Carlisle TPO, and Granite Black Shingles.

When Maryanne of West Fargo, ND, noticed issues with her roof, she called Vita Roofing for a free estimate and expert guidance. Our team began by setting up tarps to protect landscaping and contain debris before removing the existing roofing system down to the decking. Once exposed, we carefully inspected the deck and replaced any soft or damaged areas using OSB, CDX, or 1x6 deck boards to ensure a solid, reliable base for the new roof.

Next, we focused on building a high-performance underlayment system designed to handle extreme Midwest weather. Two rows of Sealoron XT Ice and Water Shield were installed along all eaves, with an additional row in the valleys for added protection. All decking seams were sealed with Sealoron XT Deck Tape, followed by Velora One Synthetic Underlayment over the remaining roof surface. Aluminum drip edge was installed along the perimeter and seam-taped at the eaves to direct water safely away from the home.

The final step was installing IKO Dynasty Shingles, a Class 3 impact-rated shingle featuring built-in algae resistance, increased thickness, and upgraded tar and nailing strips for superior wind and impact performance. Starter shingles, venting, penetration flashings, and hip and ridge components were all installed to manufacturer specifications. During the project, we also completed a leak repair by cutting four inches into the siding, installing new step flashing, adding and painting a trim board, and sealing the edge for a clean, watertight finish. After a detailed cleanup, Maryanne was left with a durable, professionally installed roofing system built to last.

Jim recently chose Vita Roofing, a Klaus Larsen Roofing affiliate, to give his home a much-needed roof replacement. Our crew began by removing the old roofing system down to the decking. Once the structure was fully exposed, we inspected every board, replacing any that were weak or rotted. This step ensured a solid, long-lasting foundation for the new roofing system.

With the decking replaced & secured, our team began installing multiple layers of protection designed to keep Jim’s home safe from the elements. We used Sealoron XT Ice and Water on all eaves and valleys for leak prevention, followed by a Synthetic Roof Underlayment. This roofing is a superior, four-layer underlayment featuring a non-woven top surface that provides excellent walkability for installers and a grip-enhanced backing that holds securely to the decking. This added layer significantly strengthens the roof system by providing an extra shield against moisture and wind-driven rain. To finish the protective barrier, we added an aluminum drip edge around the perimeter, starter shingles, updated venting, and durable flashings.

For the finishing touches, we installed Class 3 Impact Rated IKO Dynasty shingles, known for their strength against hail, wind, and extreme weather, while also enhancing Jim’s home with lasting curb appeal. At the roof’s peaks, we used IKO Hip & Ridge shingles, a heavyweight option made from a resilient, inorganic glass base coated with weather-resistant asphalt. These shingles come pre-tapered, perforated, and surfaced with ceramic-colored granules to provide long-lasting protection against ultraviolet radiation while giving the roof a clean, polished look.

After a detailed cleanup, Jim’s home was left with a beautiful, high-performance roofing system built to endure, done the right way, The Klaus Roofing Way.

This home, built in 1993, required a complete roof replacement. Once a roof is aged over 30 years, this is generally around the time a roof needs a facelift. After receiving a phone call from the property owner, we offered a free, no-obligation roof estimate from the professional roofing contractors at Vita Roofing. Our trusted salesman provided several recommendations for the best roofing options. After careful consideration, Ryan decided to proceed with a full shingle replacement, opting for IKO Dynasty Asphalt Shingles in Granite Black. These Class 3, impact-rated heavyweight shingles are made with a resilient, inorganic glass base that is coated with weather-resistant asphalt. The shingles feature a perforated, three-piece, pre-tapered design, ensuring long-lasting performance, and are surfaced with ceramic granules that protect the asphalt from ultraviolet radiation. During the roof renovation, we set up tarps to protect the surrounding structures and contain debris. We removed the existing roofing system down to the decking and inspected the decking for any soft or rotten areas, replacing them as necessary. Next, we installed two rows of Ice and Water Shield along all eaves and one row in the valleys. We then applied synthetic underlayment to the remaining areas of the roof and installed an aluminum drip edge around the perimeter.

Ryan was very pleased with the final results and will recommend Vita Roofing to everyone he knows!

Michael, in Valley City, ND, contacted Vita Roofing after their aging double-layer flat roofing system began showing signs of water intrusion and wear. During the inspection, the team discovered failing seams, deteriorating materials, and even sections of roof decking that needed attention. To provide a long-term solution, Vita Roofing recommended a full EPDM roof replacement, designed to protect the building against leaks, heavy rain, and harsh UV exposure.

The crew began by performing a complete tear-off of the old double-layer system, removing all damaged materials down to the decking. After repairing and replacing several weakened deck boards, they carefully installed the new EPDM membrane along with edge metal, screws, and plates for a secure foundation. Using high-quality bonding adhesive, flashing, and a precise transition tie-in between the flat roof and shingle sections, Vita Roofing ensured every detail was watertight and built to last.

Now, the property is safeguarded with a durable, low-maintenance EPDM system that offers decades of protection. The owner was impressed not only by the improved performance but also by the clean, professional installation from start to finish. With expert service and quality materials, Vita Roofing continues to be the go-to roofing contractor for flat roof replacement and repair in the Valley City, ND area.
