These shingles are your best bet if you're looking for affordable asphalt roofing. Manufactured with asphalt and fiberglass and lightweight, these shingles are called 3-tab shingles because they consist of 3 identically sized tabs.
Also known as dimensional or laminated shingles, consist of multiple material layers of a more refined type of asphalt than 3-tab. The extra thickness of these shingles allows increased durability, making the shingle heavier with decreased likelihood to blow off in the extreme wind.
Often called “premium” or “luxury” shingles. They are typically multi-layered and provide the highest end multidimensional look. Their dimensional thickness and deep, blended shadow bands simulate the appearance of wood shakes or slate, enhancing the beauty of any home.
We take pride in our work and pay careful attention to detail so that you can feel comfortable knowing it's going to last. However, for peace of mind we offer three warranty options for you to choose from.
If it breaks, we replace it. We are 100% accountable to our customers.
As a homeowner, ensuring the integrity of your roof is crucial to protecting your investment and maintaining the health of your home. Over time, roofs can deteriorate due to age, weather exposure, and other factors, leading to potential issues such as leaks, water damage, and energy inefficiency. Recognizing the signs that indicate it's time for a roof replacement is essential for preventing costly repairs and ensuring the safety and comfort of your home.
One of the most significant indicators that it's time for a roof replacement is its age. Most asphalt shingle roofs have a lifespan of 20 to 25 years, while other materials like metal or tile may last longer. If your roof is approaching or has surpassed its expected lifespan, it's advisable to consider replacing it before problems arise.
Inspect your roof for any signs of damaged or missing shingles. Cracked, curling, or blistering shingles are indicators of deterioration, while missing shingles leave your roof vulnerable to water penetration and further damage. If you notice extensive shingle damage or granules collecting in your gutters, it may be time for a replacement.
Water leaks or stains on your ceiling or walls are clear signs of roof issues that require immediate attention. Even minor leaks can lead to significant water damage over time, compromising the structural integrity of your home and fostering mold growth. Addressing leaks promptly by replacing your roof can help prevent costly repairs and protect your home's interior.
A sagging or drooping roof is a severe structural issue that indicates underlying damage to the roof deck or supporting structures. This can be caused by excessive weight from snow or ice buildup, water damage, or age-related deterioration. If you notice any visible signs of sagging or dipping in your roofline, it's essential to consult with a roofing professional to assess the extent of the damage and determine if a replacement is necessary.
An inefficient roof can contribute to higher energy bills as your HVAC system works harder to maintain a comfortable temperature indoors. Poor insulation, ventilation, or damaged roofing materials can lead to heat loss in the winter and heat gain in the summer, resulting in increased energy consumption. Investing in a new, energy-efficient roof can help lower your utility costs and improve the comfort and efficiency of your home.

A roof replacement might not be something people like to think about, but it’s a fact of life for all homeowners. When the time comes to replace your roof, the big question is: how much does a new roof cost in Virginia?
In Virginia, we see a lot of humidity, strong winds, and a lot of rain that heavily impacts the lifespan of your roof. Ultimately, replacing a roof is an investment and an important factor for protecting the health of your home.
The cost of a new roof can vary depending on where you live. In Virginia, the average cost of a new roof can range from $5,000 to $20,000,
but this can increase or decrease depending on the specifics of your project.
This directly impacts the cost of your roof. The more surface area you must cover, the more materials you’re going to need, including OSB/plywood, underlayment, and shingles.
When providing you with an estimate of your roof, you may hear the term “squares” being discussed. The roof surfaces are measured in squares. A roofing square is an area of your roof that equals 100 square feet and covers a 10’ x 10’ area.
The number of roofing squares needed for a project is calculated by dividing the total roof area by 100 (which is 1 square).
The type of roofing shingles and materials you choose, or may even be required to have installed based on your location and/ or HOA rules, will also impact the cost of getting a new roof.
In addition to the shingles themselves, you will also need to factor in the replacement of your underlayment, decking, flashing and vents.
If your current roof is heavily damaged, it might affect the total cost of the roof. For example, if your roof has a hole, it will require working on the underlying wood structure that would involve extra labor and materials.
The Home Doctor will fully inspect the underlying structure and current issues with the roof in order to provide the most accurate estimate for your roof replacement.
The best type of roof for Virginia is the classic, most popular option - asphalt shingles. They are common, durable, and offer a wide range of styles and colors to fit your home. It is the most cost effective option and you have many options for installation and
maintenance.
Metal roofing is also a popular choice in the area. On the one hand, metal is highly durable and will last much longer than your typical asphalt shingle. It can stand up to the storms and high winds that come our way. On the other hand, metal roofing can be loud when
heavy rain and hail come pouring down. Metal roofing is also heavy and can be very expensive, depending on your choice of metal.
Investing in a complete roof replacement may help you avoid further damage and costly repairs. Getting a new roof helps to protect your home and your own peace of mind – Our experts will provide a wide range of shingle styles and colors of your choice to ensure
you get the most out of your roof.

We are a local and family owned business founded in Virginia. This means we know all about the extreme humidity and what it can do to your roof. The black streaks on the roof are cause by algae growth. Many homeowners might mistake it for dirt, or mold. The streaking doesn't mean your roof is defective, but it might be a good idea to treat it properly so it doesn't affect your curb appeal.
The black streaks running down roofs are actually a hardy algae called gloeocapsa magma. This is commonly found in the warmer, humid parts of the U.S. They develop a dark, hardened outer coating, which results in the black stains that appear on your roof.
When you start to notice the black algae on your roof, you'll want to treat it as soon as you can. If you're looking to sell your home in the future, you will want to make sure your roof looks as good as possible. It is much easier to treat early on, rather than waiting until the stain spreads.
To reduce the appearance of black algae, create a 1:1 mixture of bleach and water in a spray bottle. Spray the affected area and let the bleach do its work for about 20 minutes. Depending on how thick or dense your streaking is, you will want to repeat these steps to ensure you clean the area thoroughly. Then spray your roof with lots of water to wash away all of the bleach. Make sure your plants are protected and aren't harmed by the run off. You can water your plants to make sure that any trace of bleach is no longer present.
Do not scrub or use a power washer to clean your roof. This could reduce the lifespan of your roof and ruin your shingles.
If you do not have experience with roof cleaning or have the correct safety equipment, do not try to treat your roof yourself. Call a professional to clean your shingles for you, so you can avoid those costly mistakes.
In the process of cleaning your roof, inspect it for any damages. A roof is a vital part of your home and if you have any concerns, call an expert. If you have missing shingles or streaking, they can be repaired for a short time, but it would be wise to replace it if it is old. Contact us to learn more about the benefits of replacing your roof.
