10 Best Roofers in Virginia

You can consider a number of things when looking for a roofer, such as:

• Licensing: Is the contractor or company properly licensed in Virginia?
• Membership in trade organizations: It isn't mandatory for contractors to belong to organizations like the National Roofing Contractors Association (NRCA), but membership confers numerous benefits such as connections with other professionals and ongoing education.
• Reviews and recommendations: What do others in your area have to say about the company? Do you know anyone who has used the company before?
• Cost: It's important to choose a company that fits your budget, but also to be wary of any contractor who offers too-good-to-be-true prices.
• Time frame: Can the contractor you choose complete the work in the time that you need it?

The cost of roof repair varies widely depending on what types of repairs need to be done. The average cost in Virginia is about $820, but to know for sure you should ask a local contractor directly.

Typically, Virginia homeowners pay about $7,532 for roof replacement. This cost varies depending on where you live, and is affected by factors like how many stories your home has, the material used, and the size and accessibility of your roof.

Signs that your roof may need to be replaced can include:

• Leaks, especially around exterior walls, skylights, drip edges, vents, or gutters
• Large patches of missing or damaged shingles
• Excessive shingle granule loss – large bald patches on your roof
• Visible daylight seen through roof boards
• Excessive buildup of mold, mildew, or moss
• Significant wind or hail damage
• Roof is between 15 and 30 years old

Roofing contractors typically offer two kinds of guarantees or warranties: workmanship and materials. The former protects you in the event of issues caused by poor workmanship, while the latter protects you from issues caused by faulty materials. These may also be called, respectively, contractor or manufacturing guarantees.
