Virginia Roofing Contractors Near You

What are some of the most common roofing questions and what are the answers? Here’s a top 10 list.

1 – The first most common roofing question: How long should my roof last?

The National Association of Home Builders estimates that a shingle roof should last about 20 years. Shake roofs should last about 30 years and Slate, copper, and tile roofs can last 50+ years.

2 – Does my homeowner’s insurance cover my roof?

There are two types of claims for your roof. A repair claim and a replacement claim. The roof replacement claim is more expensive and can be harder to get the claim accepted. You’ll want to document any and all damage quickly and submit the claim as soon as possible to see if your homeowner’s insurance will cover your roof repair or replacement.

3 – Does a leaky roof need to be completely replaced?

Not always! That’s the great thing about roof repairs. Call your local roofing company and ask them to come out and give you a free roofing estimate. Once you’ve done that, the local roofers should be able to determine if your roof can be repaired or needs to be completely replaced.

4 – What does a new roof cost?

Most projects for reroofing in Virginia can fall in the $6,000 to $15,000 range. Check out our blog posts on key factors that impact the cost of a roof.

What does “Best Value” mean in roofing?

At Cenvar Roofing, we claim to have the highest quality, best value, and best customer service. Merriam Webster defines value as, “a fair return or equivalent in goods, services, or money for something exchanged”. When you stop to consider the components of the roofing process, for the price, you’re receiving the best value when you choose Cenvar Roofing.

It’s important to remember that quality doesn’t suffer at Cenvar Roofing because of providing value. So why does higher quality cost more at some companies? “They are usually higher priced because they have built a reputation for quality and trust,” We continue to build our reputation for quality, trust, and customer service and our reviews prove this claim, yet we still want to give a better price than our competitors.

Cenvar Roofing’s Customer Purpose Statement is, “To give our customers everything they want for a better price than our competitors.”.

Between warranty, price, scheduling, options for materials and colors, and everything that is taken into consideration for roofing, we offer the best value for our customers.

We use a nail gun on the roofs we install. We use Premium Shingles, such as the Owens Corning TruDefinition Duration, that have an enhanced design that prevents nails from blowing through the shingles.

We understand that paying for a new roof in Virginia can be a challenge.

Many different factors affect the overall cost of a Virginia roof replacement, including the shape, size and slope of your roof and the amount of finishing touches, like flashing, counter flashing and ventilation units, your roof needs to function properly.

During your free estimate appointment, the sales representative will measure your roof, take these factors into account and provide you with a customized quote.

In some cases, there are telltale signs, like a leak, or missing or damaged shingles that indicate a roof repair or replacement is needed. Loose granules on the roof or in the gutters are also signs that the shingles could be damaged. If an area of your roof has a spongy texture when you’re walking on it, the roof likely has damage.

Virginia weather is tough on roofs. From the high winds of a hurricane to the heavy snowfall of a nor’easter, your roof has to be able to withstand a lot. That’s why it’s important to choose the right type of Virginia roofing for your home or business.

There are three main types of roofs: asphalt shingles, metal roofs, and slate roofs. Asphalt shingles are the most popular type of roof in the United States, and they come in a variety of colors and styles. Metal roofs are becoming more and more popular, thanks to their durability and longevity. Slate roofs are the most expensive but also the most durable type of roof.
