THE FIRST QUESTION

Repair or replace your roof?

Many homeowners don’t need a new roof as soon as they think, and some wait too long. Here is how we decide.

REPAIR IS USUALLY ENOUGH

Roof repair

Fix it and get more years from it

Age  Roof is under about 15 years old

Damage  A few missing or lifted shingles

Leak  One leak around a vent, chimney or skylight

Shingles  Still flat, with most granules left

Cost  Usually hundreds, not thousands

TIME TO REPLACE

Roof replacement

Stop paying for repeat repairs

Age  About 20+ years on an asphalt roof

Shingles  Curling, cracking or bald, with granules in gutters

Leaks  Several leaks or repeat repairs

Deck  Sagging spots or soft decking

Attic  Daylight, damp insulation or mold

Not sure? We inspect the roof and attic, photograph every issue and walk you through it. If a repair will do the job, we will tell you.

Full tear-off

Deck inspection

Soft or rotten plywood is found and replaced before anything goes on.

04

Synthetic underlayment

05

Drip edge

Metal edging that sends water into the gutters, not behind them.

06

Architectural shingles

Thick, dimensional shingles in the color you choose.

07

Balanced ventilation

Ridge and intake vents that keep the attic dry and cooler.

FAQ

Roofing questions, answered

How much does a roof replacement cost in McLean, VA?

Most asphalt shingle replacements on Northern Virginia single-family homes run $12,000–$22,000. Large, steep or complex roofs with premium shingles run $22,000–$40,000+. Repairs start around $650. You get an exact, itemized price after a free inspection.

Should I repair or replace my roof?

If the roof is under about 15 years old and the damage is in one area, a repair usually makes sense. If it is around 20+ years old with curling shingles, granule loss or several leaks, replacement is usually the better value. We show you photos and tell you honestly.

How long does a roof replacement take?

Most homes take 1–2 days on site. Larger or more complex roofs take 2–4 days. Rain can shift the schedule.

How long does an asphalt shingle roof last?

Architectural asphalt shingles usually last about 20–30 years in Northern Virginia, longer with good attic ventilation.

Will insurance pay for my new roof?

If the damage came from a covered event like wind or hail, insurance often pays for the repair or replacement, minus your deductible. Normal wear and age usually are not covered. We document the damage and can meet your adjuster.

Do I need to be home during the work?

No. We need driveway access and clear space around the house. Keep cars and pets away from the work area during tear-off.

Are you licensed and insured?

Yes. The Great House LLC holds Virginia Class A contractor license #2705197237, is fully insured, and every job includes a 1-year workmanship warranty.
