Roof repair in Chantilly.

Chantilly was built quickly on the farmland south of Dulles between the mid-1980s and early 2000s, and many of its roofs have now weathered three decades of Mid-Atlantic seasons. On a Greenbriar or Poplar Tree home, the original 25-to-30-year shingle is at the end of its life, and on a Virginia Run colonial it's often already past it. Roofs this age rarely fail across the whole surface at once. They leak first at penetrations and transitions.

That's where we start on a Chantilly service call. Rubber pipe boots split, step flashing along two-story walls loosens, and shingles bruised by summer hail let water through in spots you can't see from the driveway. Shaded north-facing slopes also stay damp longer and show dark algae streaks. Our 25-point assessment checks the shingle, decking and ventilation, and you get photos and a written quote before any work starts.

Chantilly is unincorporated Fairfax County, so roofing permits go through the county's building department, not a city office. Routine repairs like a pipe boot or a few shingles generally don't need a permit, while larger jobs that replace decking or a significant share of the roof can. We verify what your project requires and pull the permit if it does. Many Chantilly subdivisions have HOAs with approved shingle colors, so we match each repair to your community's standard.

The June 29, 2012 derecho pushed 60-to-80-plus mph winds across Fairfax County, and hail returns most summers, lifting shingles and bruising mats. Damage from wind, hail and falling limbs is often covered by homeowners insurance. We photograph and document every affected area so your adjuster has a clear record of what the storm did.
