Inspection and Assessment
We begin every job with a thorough roof inspection. Our experts check for signs of damage, wear, and potential issues. We look at shingles, flashing, gutters, and the underlying structure.
We use advanced tools to spot hidden problems. This includes moisture meters and infrared cameras. These help us find leaks and weak spots not visible to the naked eye.
After the inspection, we provide a detailed report. This outlines our findings and recommendations. We explain everything in clear terms so you can make informed decisions about your roof.
Leak Repair and Prevention
Roof leaks can cause major damage if not fixed quickly. We offer fast, effective leak repair services. Our team pinpoints the source of leaks and fixes them properly.
We don't just patch leaks - we address the root cause. This might involve:
- Replacing damaged shingles
- Fixing flashing around chimneys and vents
- Sealing gaps and cracks
We also focus on leak prevention. We can add water barriers in problem areas and improve drainage. This helps stop future leaks before they start.
Complete Shingle Replacement
When repairs aren't enough, we offer full roof replacement. We remove old shingles and inspect the roof deck. We replace any rotted wood and make sure the structure is sound.

The replacement process includes:

Roof Ventilation Solutions
Good ventilation is key to a healthy roof. It helps prevent moisture buildup and extends shingle life. We assess your current ventilation and suggest improvements if needed.
We install various types of vents:
- Ridge vents
- Soffit vents
- Gable vents
- Power vents
The right mix depends on your roof design and local climate. We calculate the proper amount of ventilation for your specific roof. This ensures balanced airflow and optimal performance.
Understanding Asphalt Shingles
Asphalt shingles are a popular roofing choice for many homeowners. They come in different types, offer various benefits, and require some basic upkeep to last longer.
Types of Asphalt Shingles
We offer three main types of asphalt shingles:
- 3-Tab Shingles: These are flat, single-layer shingles. They're the most budget-friendly option.
- Architectural Shingles: Also called dimensional shingles, these have multiple layers for a more textured look. They're more durable than 3-tab shingles.
- Luxury Shingles: These premium shingles mimic the look of slate or wood shakes. They offer the best protection and curb appeal.
Each type has its own lifespan and price point. 3-tab shingles typically last 15-20 years, while architectural and luxury shingles can last up to 30 years or more with proper care.
Benefits of Asphalt Shingles
Asphalt shingles have many advantages:
- Cost-effective: They're usually the most affordable roofing option.
- Variety: They come in many colors and styles to match any home.
- Easy installation: We can install them quickly and easily.
- Low maintenance: They need less upkeep than other roofing materials.
- Fire resistance: Many asphalt shingles have good fire ratings.
Asphalt shingles also offer decent durability, with some types lasting up to 30 years. They work well in various climates and can withstand different weather conditions.
Maintenance Tips
To keep your asphalt shingle roof in top shape:
- Clean gutters regularly to prevent water buildup.
- Trim overhanging tree branches to avoid damage from falling limbs.
- Check for loose or missing shingles after storms.
- Look for signs of algae growth, which can affect your roof's look.
We recommend getting professional inspections once a year. This helps catch small issues before they become big problems. If you notice any damage, it's best to repair it quickly to prevent leaks and further damage.
Some shingles are made to resist algae growth. These special shingles have copper in their granules, which helps prevent discoloration.
The Installation Process
At Roanoke Roofing Company, we follow a thorough process for installing asphalt shingle roofs. Our experts handle each step with care and precision to ensure a durable, long-lasting roof for your home.
Preliminary Roof Evaluation
We start by carefully checking your roof's condition. Our team looks for signs of damage, weak spots, and potential issues. We measure the roof area and note its slope and features.
We also check the attic ventilation and insulation. Good airflow and insulation are key for a healthy roof. We'll suggest improvements if needed.
Our evaluation helps us plan the job and give you an accurate quote. We explain our findings and recommendations clearly. This step ensures we address all your roof's needs.
Removal of Old Roofing
Next, we remove the old roofing materials. This step is crucial for a proper installation. We use special tools to strip off old shingles, underlayment, and flashing.
As we work, we protect your property. We place tarps around your home to catch debris. Our team carefully disposes of all old materials in a designated dumpster.
We inspect the roof deck for damage once it's exposed. If we find rotted or weak areas, we replace them. A solid deck is essential for your new roof's performance.
Installation of New Asphalt Shingles
With a clean deck, we start installing your new roof. We begin by laying a water-resistant underlayment. This adds an extra layer of protection against leaks.
Next, we install new flashing around chimneys, vents, and valleys. Proper flashing prevents water from seeping into these vulnerable areas.
We then carefully place each shingle, starting at the roof's edge. We use high-quality nails and follow the manufacturer's guidelines for spacing. Our team pays special attention to ensure straight lines and proper overlap.
Warranty and After-Sales Service
At Roanoke Roofing Company, we stand behind our work and the products we use. Our warranties and service packages give you peace of mind long after installation.

Key points of manufacturer warranties:
- Cover defects in materials
