Slate roof replacement Arlington, VA

September 11, 2014 by Thomas Petrilli

The roof you see below is a slate roof replacement Arlington, VA that had reached the end of its service life. When slates start to turn brown or show white efflorescent half moons in their faces it is a sure sign that they have begun to deteriorate; over the past 5 years the owner had spent a few thousand dollars patching up areas where slates had fallen out or where flashings had begun to leak.

Shingle roof replacement Alexandria, VA

February 8, 2014 by Thomas Petrilli

Here are a few Alexandria, VA  shingle roof replacement projects we’ve done.

Before and afters below:

The roof below wasn’t leaking that the owners could see, but it was pretty close to the end of its useful life. The shingles used to be a cloudy gray color but over time stains and algae took over the roof. Roofs are more aesthetically important on houses with steeper roofs because you can see more of it.
