Roof shingle types in Virginia

Architectural shingles are a solid choice for Virginia, offering better durability and wind resistance than 3-tab styles. For coastal regions, shingles with higher wind ratings are essential. We can recommend options that perform well against our varied weather patterns.

Our hot summers can make installation challenging due to heat. Winter weather, including snow and freezing temperatures, can cause delays. We schedule installations during periods of stable weather. This ensures your new roof in Virginia Beach is installed correctly and efficiently.

The most budget-friendly option is typically a standard 3-tab asphalt shingle. However, these may not last as long in Virginia's climate. Architectural shingles have a higher initial cost but generally offer better long-term value and protection. We help you make the best choice for your needs.

We begin with a thorough inspection of your existing roof. Old shingles are removed, and the roof deck is inspected and repaired if necessary. New underlayment and flashing are installed for superior waterproofing. Your chosen shingles are then applied with precision. We handle all required permits for your home.

The 25% rule is a general guideline often used in roofing. It suggests that if over a quarter of your roof's surface is damaged, a full replacement might be more cost-effective. This is not a strict regulation. We provide a detailed assessment of your roof's specific condition.

Demand for roofing services can sometimes decrease during the colder winter months. This might present opportunities for slightly better pricing. However, unpredictable weather is a significant factor. We aim to provide fair and competitive pricing year-round for your Virginia Beach area home.
