Asphalt Shingle Roofing · Mount Vernon, VA
Architectural asphalt shingles suit most Mount Vernon roofs, from brick ramblers and split-levels in Fort Hunt and Yacht Haven to Colonial Revival homes, Cape Cods and Dutch Colonials with gambrel roofs.
Mount Vernon roofing
Most single-family homes in Mount Vernon went up between the 1950s and the 1970s, and nearly every pitched roof on them has been reshingled at least once. When we replace one, we strip to the deck, replace soft or delaminated plywood, and install ice and water shield at eaves, valleys and penetrations. New drip edge, step flashing and ridge ventilation go on before the architectural shingles, so the system works as a whole.
Asphalt makes sense here on cost and fit. A typical 2,000 to 2,500 sq ft single-family home runs about $14,000 to $17,500, and the range across all sizes is $9,000 to $22,000. Expect 25 to 30 years from a properly ventilated roof. We install GAF and CertainTeed systems as a GAF Certified Plus and CertainTeed ShingleMaster contractor, and back the labor with a 5-year workmanship warranty.
Why asphalt
Ramblers, Cape Cods, split-levels and Colonial Revival homes were designed around shingle roofs. Architectural shingles keep that look with a heavier, more dimensional profile than flat three-tab shingles.
Dutch Colonials with barn-style gambrel roofs, like some along Ferry Landing Road in Yacht Haven, need a covering that turns cleanly at the slope break. Shingles handle that transition well.
Asphalt costs roughly a third to half as much per square as standing seam, which leaves money for the decking, ventilation and gutter work that older homes often need.
Local know-how
Fairfax County doesn't require a building permit for a residential re-roof in Mount Vernon. We check the scope before tear-off, and if rotten decking turns up partway through, we stop, show you photos and replace only what's needed. 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.
Hollin Hills is the exception on shingle style. Its design guidelines ask for a simple three-tab shingle in one uniform, light off-white to gray color, and say highly variegated shingles will not be approved. Wessynton's homeowners association requires board approval for all exterior changes. If you live in either, we gather the product details your reviewers need before ordering.
