Choosing the right color and style of shingle can greatly enhance the curb appeal of your home. A 3-tab shingle is very affordable and comes in 25 year. If a roof has a noticeable flaw (such as some homes that were built during the 70's & 80s "construction boom" in Northern Virginia) you may want to use a dimensional shingle to help hide the flaw and enhance your curb appeal. These shingles come in 30 year and up.
A major decision facing homeowners today is the many different types, color, cost and warranty features of shingles on the market. For example, CertainTeed offers 13 different families of shingles with warranties ranging from 20 years to lifetime with approximately 125 different colors! TAMKO offers a similar array of options.
An average 1700 sq. ft. home with a 8/12 roof pitch or less would cost approximately $5000 (includes tearing off the old shingles and replacing with a 30 year arch shingle). Request estimates and information using the form on the right or just clicking on

We did this roof with Timberline Life Time dimensional shingles. All the flashing was done in copper and zink strips were used to help prefent staining. Pewter is the shingle color.
