Asphalt Shingle Roofing · Great Falls, VA
Architectural asphalt shingle roofs for the colonials, Cape Cods and 1960s ranches of Great Falls, installed to GAF and CertainTeed specs with a written, itemized quote before we start.
Great Falls roofing
Most Great Falls colonials went up with asphalt shingles, and for good reason. A 1980s two-story like the ones in Falcon Ridge or Brick Mill Manor has the moderate pitch and simple gables that architectural shingles were made for. A new roof of this type lasts about 25 to 30 years, holds up to summer wind when it is nailed and sealed correctly, and costs a fraction of metal.
On a full tear-off we strip to the deck, replace any soft plywood, and install ice and water shield in the valleys and along the eaves. New drip edge, step flashing and ridge ventilation go on with the shingles rather than being reused. Great Falls attics often sit under heavy shade, so we check intake and exhaust venting before we finalize the quote.
Why asphalt
Dimensional shingles give the shadow lines that suit a center-hall colonial or Cape Cod without changing the look the house was built with.
Great Falls homes average around 4,600 square feet. On that much roof area, asphalt keeps a full replacement within reach where metal may not be.
GAF and CertainTeed lines come in dozens of blends, so it is easy to match a neighbor, an HOA palette, or the stone and brick on your own house.
Local know-how
Because Great Falls is unincorporated, Fairfax County's rules apply rather than a town hall's, and the county doesn't require a permit for a shingle replacement on a home. So there's no permit wait, and the schedule comes down to materials, weather and any HOA approval. A house inside the Colvin Run Historic Overlay District, around the old mill off Route 7, gets an extra check for Architectural Review Board requirements. The exception is re-decking. If a job replaces more than 256 square feet of roof decking, Fairfax County requires a permit, and we pull it for you.
Where an HOA is in place, as in Falcon Ridge, we bring shingle samples and spec sheets for the architectural committee. Under tall trees, we recommend algae-resistant shingles and a clean gutter line, since shaded north slopes stay wet and grow streaks. Spring and summer storms are the main test, and a well-sealed roof sheds wind far better.
