Asphalt shingle roofing in Alexandria.

Alexandria's homes range from historic Old Town and Del Ray to the mid-century West End, and most wear asphalt shingles for good reason: they're affordable, come in dozens of colors that suit traditional and colonial architecture, and hold up to the humid, storm-prone weather off the Potomac. Today's architectural shingles from GAF and CertainTeed are far tougher than the old 3-tab style.

As a GAF Certified Plus contractor, we register the strongest manufacturer warranties and handle what matters here — color choices that fit your block, clean tear-offs in tight Old Town lots, and complete storm-and-insurance documentation when a roof's been hit.

Roof replacements in the City of Alexandria require a permit, and homes in the Old Town or Parker-Gray historic districts may need Board of Architectural Review sign-off for visible work — we guide you through it and match a shingle that keeps the look. Outside those districts, many Alexandria HOAs specify approved colors; we help you choose a compliant one. Active leak or storm damage? We document it for your insurer and can tarp the same day.
