The Problem

Your Old Roof Is Costing You Money Every Day

Aging shingles curl, crack, and lose granules. Each storm chips away at your home's protection. And every month you wait, the underlying damage gets worse — and more expensive to fix.

Architectural Shingles

The go-to choice for 80%+ of Richmond homeowners. Architectural (dimensional) shingles offer the best balance of cost, durability, and curb appeal. They handle Virginia's heat, humidity, and storms better than basic 3-tab shingles.

Wind resistance up to 130 mph
Wide range of colors and styles
Full tear-off + new ice & water shield
Most homes completed in 1-2 days

Virginia Pricing: $350–$475 per square (100 sq ft) installed, including tear-off. A typical 1,800 sq ft roof runs $8,500–$11,000.

50+ year lifespan (often the last roof you'll ever need)
Energy savings: reflects solar heat, lowers cooling costs

⚠️

Every Storm Season With an Old Roof Is a Gamble

Virginia averages 45 thunderstorm days per year. Each one is a roll of the dice on aging shingles. Water doesn't just damage your roof — it rots your decking, grows mold in your attic, and stains your ceilings. The average homeowner who waits too long spends 2-3x more on repairs than they would have on a new roof.
