Roof repair in Lorton.

Much of Lorton went up in the late 1990s and 2000s, from the brick-front colonials and craftsman townhomes around Laurel Hill to the single-family streets of Lorton Station and Lorton Valley. Many of those original roofs are reaching the end of their service life at about the same time. That's when shingles on the sunniest slopes start to crack and shed granules, and when the joints between attached townhome roofs begin to leak.

Weather near the Occoquan and the Potomac adds wear: summer thunderstorms, occasional hail and freeze-thaw swings through the winter. Our office is at 7361 Lockport Place, so our crews are minutes from Gunston, Mason Neck and every neighborhood in between, and a free inspection is usually next day. We run a 25-point assessment, photograph everything and put a written quote in your hands before any repair starts.

Lorton is unincorporated Fairfax County, not an independent city, so permits and inspections run through the county. A small repair generally doesn't need a permit, while a larger job that replaces decking or a large share of the roof can, and we check and pull it when it's required. Most Lorton neighborhoods sit under an active HOA or community association, so we match shingle color to your approved list.

Our location near the Occoquan Reservoir and the Potomac means roofs here take summer thunderstorms, gusty wind, occasional hail and winter freeze-thaw. Wind, hail and fallen-limb damage is often covered by homeowners insurance. We photograph and document every damaged area so your adjuster has a complete record of what the storm did.
