Asphalt shingle roofing in Fairfax.

The City of Fairfax grew up between the 1940s and 1970s, and that timeline shows up on the rooflines. Mosby Woods alone runs to more than 500 homes built in the 1960s on the wooded streets between Route 50 and I-66, and many of those roofs — plus their first replacements — are now well past their service life. Architectural asphalt shingles are the natural answer: the strongest value per square, with the wide color range these neighborhoods call for.

Designer architectural shingles do more than fill the gap left by old three-tab roofs. Their laminated, dimensional build resists the wind that funnels through Fairfax during summer storms, carries algae-resistant granules that fight the dark streaking you see under the area's heavy tree canopy, and qualifies for manufacturer lifetime warranties. On the larger gable and hip roofs common to Country Club Hills and Fairfax Villa, that combination of durability and cost makes asphalt the clear choice for most homeowners.

We are a GAF Certified Plus and CertainTeed ShingleMaster contractor, which means we install to spec and can register the enhanced, manufacturer-backed warranties most roofers can't. Every project starts with a free same-week inspection and an itemized estimate, and we back our own labor with a 5-year workmanship warranty. With $0-down financing available, a new roof in Fairfax doesn't have to wait for the next leak.

Because the City of Fairfax is an independent city, your roofing permit is pulled through the city itself rather than through Fairfax County — a distinction that trips up out-of-area crews but one we handle every week. We file the permit, schedule any inspection, and keep the paperwork straight so you never have to. If your home sits in one of the HOA-governed neighborhoods around Old Town or off Route 123, we'll help you choose a compliant architectural shingle and assemble the color and style documentation your board needs to sign off.

Fairfax sits in the path of the Mid-Atlantic's roughest summer weather. The June 29, 2012 derecho hit the area with 60 to 80-plus mph winds, and hail and microbursts have returned most summers since, lifting shingles and bruising mats in ways you can't always spot from the driveway. On the shaded, leaf-heavy lots in Mosby Woods and Country Club Hills we pay extra attention to ventilation and algae-resistant shingle — and if a storm caused the damage, we meet your adjuster on site and manage the insurance claim end to end.
