FAQs
How do I know if my Winchester home needs a full roof replacement instead of minor repairs?
A professional roof assessment looks for widespread shingle granule loss, curling or missing shingles, chronic leaks in multiple areas, moss or algae that has penetrated the shingle mat, soft or rotted decking, and visible daylight in the attic. If more than 25–30 % of the roof surface is compromised or your roof is nearing the end of its expected life span (20–25 years for standard asphalt shingles), a full replacement is usually more cost-effective and reliable than piecemeal repairs.
What does your roof assessment service include?
Our certified inspectors perform a 30-point examination that covers shingle condition, flashings, chimney caps, gutters, attic ventilation, insulation levels, and moisture readings of the decking. We document everything with photos, provide a written report, outline the remaining life expectancy, and give clear repair vs. replacement recommendations. All findings are explained in plain language so you can make an informed decision.
How long does a roof replacement normally take in Winchester?
Most single-family homes with asphalt shingles are completed in one to two working days. Larger homes, complex roof designs, or specialty materials such as slate, cedar, or standing-seam metal can take three to five days. Weather conditions and the need for any structural repairs discovered during tear-off can also affect the schedule. We give you a detailed timeline before work begins and keep you updated daily.
Do you handle permits and local code compliance?
Yes. Winchester requires building permits for complete roof replacements. Our team pulls all necessary permits, schedules inspections with the local building department, and ensures your new roof meets Virginia Residential Code (or Hampshire Building Regulations if you’re in the UK) for wind uplift, fire rating, and ventilation. You’ll receive all compliance documentation once the project is finished.
What roofing materials and warranty options do you offer?
We install architectural asphalt shingles, designer shingles, metal panels, synthetic slate, real slate, and cedar shakes. Depending on the product, manufacturer warranties range from 30 years to lifetime, and we add our own 10-year workmanship warranty. Enhanced system warranties that cover labor, tear-off, and disposal are also available when using full manufacturer-certified components.
How much will a roof replacement cost and what financing is available?
Costs vary by roof size, pitch, material choice, and any required decking or flashing repairs. In Winchester, asphalt shingle replacements generally run $4.50–$7.50 per square foot, while metal or slate can be $10–$20 per square foot. After the assessment, we provide a fixed-price proposal with no hidden fees. We offer 0 % APR financing for up to 18 months, traditional low-interest loans up to 120 months, and accept major credit cards to make budgeting easier.
