Roof Repair, Roof Replacement, Roof Ventilation
Most obviously if there has been a harsh winter or a severe windstorm you will not need necessarily a new roof. Sections of shingles blown off or broken due to the weather can easily be replaced. The same goes for shingles that have been pushed up and broken by ice dams in the winter. You may not know at first that you have a problem, but if you start to see damp spots on the ceiling you need to call us. The moment water is able to seep under the waterproof barrier it finds the seams in the roof decking and follows a path until it drips through into the attic. It can take a few weeks for it to reach the ceiling and by then it has caused a lot of destruction. Lansdowne, VA is a spectacular region in Northern Virginia located south of the Potomac River, encompassing a section of the Potomac Heritage Trail.

The weather here is typical for this part of the state, with wide fluctuations in temperatures and plenty of storms. It creates a challenge for home owners doing their best to keep up with maintenance on their houses, the roof in particular.
