Roof Repair · Falls Church, VA
Membrane leaks on Lake Barcroft's Goodman mid-century moderns and flashing failures on the post-war capes and colonials of Pimmit Hills and the City, repaired by a GAF Certified Plus crew.
Falls Church roof repair
Falls Church covers two places: the independent, two-square-mile City of Falls Church and the Fairfax County neighborhoods around it, including Lake Barcroft, Seven Corners, Pimmit Hills and Bailey's Crossroads. The roofs differ as much as the boundaries. Lake Barcroft holds one of the DC area's largest concentrations of Charles Goodman mid-century modern homes, with flat and low-slope roofs that need membrane work, not a shingle patch.
The City and Pimmit Hills run to post-war capes and brick colonials with steeper gables, where leaks tend to come from flashing at walls and chimneys rather than the open field of shingles. Seven Corners mixes in townhomes and newer construction. We work out which kind of roof we're on, find the real entry point, photograph it during a free 25-point inspection and give you a written quote.
What we fix
Flat and low-slope roofs on Lake Barcroft's Goodman homes leak at seams, edges and penetrations. We repair them with proper low-slope membrane and detailing, never shingles that weren't built for that pitch.
On post-war capes and colonials, flashing where steep roof planes meet walls and chimneys wears out first. We replace it properly rather than sealing over the old metal.
Wind and falling limbs tear shingles and crack decking on Falls Church roofs. We tarp if needed, then rebuild the damaged section so it matches the surrounding roof.

Local know-how
Which permit office applies depends on your address. Inside the independent City of Falls Church, roofing permits are pulled through the city itself; in Lake Barcroft, Seven Corners, Pimmit Hills and Bailey's Crossroads, they go through Fairfax County. A small repair typically needs no permit from either one. Bigger jobs that replace decking or much of the roof can, and we verify the jurisdiction and pull the permit when it's needed. Where an HOA or civic association sets approved colors and profiles, we match them.
The Falls Church area took major wind and tree damage in the June 29, 2012 derecho and in the storms since. Wind, hail and fallen-limb damage is often paid for under a homeowners policy. We photograph and document the damage on every slope so your adjuster has a complete record to work from.
