🛠️ The Klaus Roofing Way: A Superior Roofing System for Delaware Homes

Sunday, July 6th, 2025 by Jonathon Pechickjian

🧱 1. Engineered to Prevent Leaks — Not Just Patch Them

Unlike standard roofing installations that rely on overlapping shingles and hope for the best, the Klaus Roofing System takes a preventative approach to water intrusion. Every roof we install includes:

  • Self-sealing ice & water barrier in all vulnerable areas

  • Synthetic underlayment that lays flat and won’t absorb water

  • Sealed roof deck perimeter for a continuous water-resistant base

Result: Your home is protected from leaks caused by wind-driven rain, ice dams, and flashing failures—common issues with traditional roof systems.

 

🔩 2. Reinforced Roof Decking for Long-Term Structural Integrity

A roof is only as strong as its foundation. The Klaus Roofing Way includes:

  • Inspection and replacement of rotted or damaged decking

  • Use of roofing ring shank nails for superior hold over time

  • Decking fastened every 6 inches at the seams and field for maximum strength

Result: A solid, stable platform that supports your new roof system and resists wind uplift, sagging, and structural fatigue.

 

🌬️ 3. Complete Roof Ventilation for Energy Efficiency

Improper ventilation leads to mold, higher energy bills, and premature shingle failure. The Klaus Roofing Way ensures proper airflow with:

  • Ridge vent systems at the roof’s peak

  • Intake vents along the soffits or eaves

  • Baffles and insulation protection where required

Result: Balanced attic temperatures, reduced moisture buildup, and enhanced roof lifespan—all essential in Delaware’s mixed climate.

 

🧰 4. High-Performance Shingle Installation Backed by Warranty

We don’t just install shingles—we install a complete roofing system using premium materials. All Klaus Roofing Systems include:

  • Architectural asphalt shingles with algae resistance

  • Proper nailing pattern and six-nail installation

  • Matching starter and ridge shingles for a watertight seal

Result: A wind-resistant, attractive roof covered by a 50-Year No-Leak Warranty—one of the strongest warranties in the industry.

 

🔐 5. No-Nail-Zone Protection & Flashing Seals

One of the most common points of failure in a roof system is improper flashing installation or exposed nail heads. The Klaus Roofing Way includes:

  • All nails installed in the “no-nail zone” to avoid water channels

  • Flashing sealed with weatherproof adhesive barriers

  • Custom-fitted flashing around all roof penetrations (vents, chimneys, pipes)

Result: Every detail is addressed to prevent water from entering your home, even in the most vulnerable areas.
