REPAIR IS USUALLY ENOUGH

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

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.

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.
