Roof ReplacementWe specialize in quality GAF asphalt shingle roofs, and many homeowners, especially new homeowners, find themselves confused about residential roofing. What services fall under the roofing services umbrella, when they need their roof replaced, and who should they contact for their roofing needs?
Another major factor to finding a local Virginia Beach roofing company is installation. Many people assume that whoever provides home roofing replacement is going to do it right. A bad residential roof replacement can be a nightmare, because it can make your warranty null and void. And in some cases if you are looking for home insurance help they can deny your claim, if the roof has not been properly installed. So how do you know when it's time to call a professional roofing expert to help you determine whether your roof needs to be replaced or just repaired? There are a few warning signs to look out for. The first sign is an obvious one. If your roof is in visibly bad shape – missing tiles, cracks, splintering wood, etc. – it’s time to have your roof inspected to determine if your roof needs to just some roof repairs or if you need a roof replacement. This isn’t something you want to wait for; the longer you let your roof go, the higher the risk for water damage, storm damage, and mold and mildew growth. If the roof decking has gone bad, then it’s definitely time for some reliable residential roofing services. After all, the roof deck is what supports the roof itself. If that’s gone bad on you, your home isn’t staying very dry or protected. Or, if previous work was completed on your roof but they didn’t use the proper tiles, it may not be doing the best job at keeping moisture away. One the biggest deterrent to homeowners calling a professional roofing company is the price. But the more reputable roofing services work with you by providing Roofing Financing options.

Look for a Best Value Estimate
You also want to look at best value. When you get roof replacement estimates make sure that you are not comparing apples to oranges. If one contractor is using one kind of tile for your estimate and someone else is using another, that's a problem. You want the very best roof you can afford at the best price. That means that you don't take the lowest and you don't take the highest.
You see there are all kinds of roofers out there, from the Chuck in a truck who will give you the lowest bid, use less than the best materials, doesn't have insurance, isn't bonded and may not even have a license - to the big roofing tycoons who sell, sell, sell giving you the highest bid because of all the overhead they have to pay out.
The Best Value is usually found right in the middle, the roofer who is professional, wants your business, and is willing to go the extra mile to make you happy. (That's us by the way!)
