Roof Repair · Dunn Loring, VA
Roof repairs for Dunn Loring's mid-century single-family homes off Gallows Road and the newer townhomes and condos around the Dunn Loring-Merrifield Metro and Mosaic District, from worn original shingle to shared-roofline leaks.
Dunn Loring roof repair
Dunn Loring's older single-family homes date to the mid-20th century, and many sit on wooded lots near Gallows Road. Their roofs are well into replacement territory, with shingle worn thin and attic ventilation that falls short of what a modern system provides. Poor airflow bakes shingles from below and lets moisture condense in the attic, so a stain on the ceiling isn't always a hole in the roof. We check the attic as well as the roof surface before recommending anything.
The townhomes and condos along the Metro corridor are newer, but newer doesn't mean leak-free. Shared rooflines put each unit's roof against a neighbor's, and the joint between them is where water usually finds its way in. Repairs there have to meet HOA standards and tie cleanly into the adjoining roof. Whichever kind of home you own, we document the problem with photos and give you a written quote first.
What we fix
On Metro-corridor townhomes, water gets in where one unit's roof meets the next. We repair flashing and shingles at the joint and tie them into the neighboring roof without disturbing it.
Shingle on Dunn Loring's mid-century homes wears thin, cracks and sheds granules. Where the roof still has life left, we replace the failed sections and seal the surrounding courses.
Weak ventilation on older homes traps heat and moisture, aging shingles early and causing condensation that looks like a leak. We correct intake and exhaust venting as part of the repair.

Water coming in right now? Call and we prioritize a same-day tarp to stop the damage, then schedule the permanent repair right away.
Local know-how
Dunn Loring is in Fairfax County, so any permit for roof work is a county permit. A small repair generally doesn't need one; larger jobs that replace decking or a large share of the roof can, and we check and pull the permit when it's required. The townhome and condo communities near the Metro and Mosaic District carry HOA standards, so we match shingle color and style to the existing roof.
The June 29, 2012 derecho pushed 60 to 80-plus mph winds through the area, and the wooded lots near Gallows Road are exposed to falling limbs whenever storms come through. A policy will often cover that kind of wind, hail or limb damage. We photograph the damage slope by slope and hand you documentation your adjuster can work from.

Reviews
I have done two projects with Impact Roofing. Both went exceptionally well. The first was roof replacement following a hailstorm. Jon helped me understand the damage and worked directly with my insurance company. He calmly and competently handled the insurance estimator and worked within the approved budget. The work was of the highest quality and the customer service was outstanding. Based on that experience, I had Jon replace windows in my home. Again, the highest level of workmanship and professional, clear communication. I highly recommend Impact and Jon Mathers.
Very professional and did exactly what they said they would do. Very helpful with the insurance process and follow-through. Highly recommend — they take real pride in their work and craftsmanship.
