I recently had my roof replaced by The Roofing Company, a very large home that is now an Air B&B. It was excellent on on every level. When we decided to replace our roof, hiring a company that stood behind their work and had the backing of the manufacturer was important to us. We really did our homework and talked to a handful of companies before going with The Roofing Company, and we are so glad we did.
Everyone we worked with was professional and knowledgeable. Chuck Simpson was a great resource for us and has gone out of his way to be certain that everything is perfect. I actually look forward to seeing him each year for our roof inspection! Kudos to the whole team too.

Your shingle roofing protects your home from the heat of the sun and onslaught of rain, snow, and sleet. But, as every homeowner discovers sooner or later, roofs don't last forever.

The "lightweight" slate alternative to the traditional heavy and expensive slate. Lightweight real slate makes natural slate a feasible option for roofs which are not able to support the weight of traditionally installed slate. Yes, traditional slate roofs are heavy-and expensive-putting them out of the reach of most middle-market property owners.

Our goal is to help the building owner or property manager to maintain the integrity of the roofing system to protect the structure and its contents, while doing all that we can to maximize your roofing investment by extending the operational life of the roof.

More natural light means less time that your electric lights need to function. And an easy way to bring in more natural light is to install skylights into your Virginia home.

I absolutely love the solar tubes!! And solar night lights! Solar tubes were not new to me as we have one in the stairwell and my mom has a couple, but I underestimated the difference they would make upstairs. With the light from the bedroom windows overflowing into the hallway I would have never had the tubes installed, but I had already bought them when our house was being built so just went with it ... so glad I did!! Ken was the first face of the company that I saw and was great. He checked out the areas where I wanted the solar tubes, took pictures, then sat down with me and explained everything

This is the first google review I have ever written. I called about a small leak in my roof (we noticed some we cardboard boxes in our eves) The rep came out, spent an hour and a half looking over the roof, climbed on top, checked over everything and came back to me with his recommendations, "You had one (1) nail up. I hammered it down, added some caulk, checked over the rest of the roof, and did a couple of quick fixes. You should be all set. Call me in 5 years when you need a new roof." I was out of work at the time (covid). Talk about a weight off my shoulders.

The Roofing Company installed a new shingled roof on our home. Once job was completed my wife and I noticed a strange smell throughout our home.
After a few days we were concerned that we may have a possible gas leak from the installation. TECO came out immediately and inspected our home. He told us we shouldn't even be in the house and that we had a significant leak. We called our gas company who then came out to repair.
Gas company informed us that the roofers nailed into our gas line which runs through our attic and down to the pool heater.
We called Roofing Co. to let them know and how upset

Three C's were involved with our new roof installment. Cost, Communication, and Clean up. From our initial cost assessment with Chuck to the clean up crew we were very satisfied. Every step along the way we were kept informed about what was happening next, and when it would be done. I never had to call and question what was going on or when they were coming to do the work. Greg was a great onsite project manager. He kept us informed on how the job was going, what extra needed to be done and why. ( He was even nice to the dog!) I was extremely happy with the clean up after the roof was finished

We have had two hail storms that damaged our roof. The first time I went with a company and ended up with several leaks. The second time I went with The Roofing Company and purchased the complete GAF system. No problems or leaks since. Plus Ken comes out once a year and inspects the roof for any damage. Highly recommend The Roofing Company for your roofing needs.

My parents had these people come to my house and they took a deposit! Next, had an architect come to “see” if the house could support the roof. The architect charged thousands and the roofers gave a $450,000 price (including architectural support)…
My parents found a Spanish barrel tile roof with SLOPE Roofers and has a 50 year warranty with 1/5 the cost!!!!! Shop around!!! My parents spent $6500 for nothing… except a HUGE hypothetical cost! My mom still tells me that they spent my tuition money on nothing from them!

See attached pictures. I'll start by saying I wouldn't recommend this company at all. I'm in the military so my time is limited. I initially contacted this company around March/April 2021 for leaks I was experiencing with my roof. I was quoted $3k to remove an attic vent on the second level attic that was causing leaks and to repair leaks in the attic of the first level of my home. They removed the second level attic vent and repaired that leak. The problem began with first level attic. They removed the vinyl siding along the roof line and sealed it. So I thought the problem was

James was outstanding. Takes pride in his work. Friendly, professional, and knowledgeable. He explained the (contracted) roof repair, materials, and options. He also inspected the attic to get a better view (not available at initial inspection). I could not have been more pleased.

Chuck renewed my faith in the Roofing Company. He came out to inspect my NEW roof for a suspected leak. He crawled into the hot attic a took a picture of an AC line that had worn insulation. Condensation was causing the ceiling stain and not a roof leak. Chuck took time to take some pictures of the roof exterior, too. Still looks great! Thanks for your professionalism and explanation of the problem, Chuck. AC guy is coming over soon to fix the issue.

We have an old house with a "complicated" roof. The Roofing Company provides excellent diagnostics and repairs. Mike and James are great to work with! Mike explained the work thoroughly, and he and James were very careful placing ladders etc. to avoid damaging shrubbery. They finished the job quicker than I expected. We've had several hard rains since the work was done and no signs of any leaks! I will continue to use The Roofing Company and recommended them to neighbors.

Several years ago our neighborhood suffered extensive roof damage from hail. Like my neighbors I solicited bids and choose 'The Roofing co' to do the replacement. They seemed thorough, including getting into extensive arguments with the insurance company about what should be repaired and what needed to be done according to code. Anyway, I signed the contract and the roof went up and I thought everything was fine.
During the ensuing summer months, we started getting an enormous amount of condensation coming thru the ceiling vents, dripping down onto electronics and making messes everywhere

If this company took it's work as seriously as social media, then it would not have any problems.
IN RESPONSE TO YOUR RIDICULOUS post, I am a practicing dentist of 20 years and my husband is an OB/GYN, practicing 25 years, and have NO IDEA what a LUDOWICI roof is (nor were we educated)??? I never received a "design" from BRIAN OR THE ROOFING COMPANY, and had no idea WHO the ENGINEERING FIRM WAS (THAT ROOFING COMPANY HIRED)???
BRIAN came to my office and asked for a check for the engineering firm. I WAS NEVER TOLD ANOTHER $4200 (for subsequent visits after COVID PROBLEMS)?

Signed a contract and paid for a replacement skylight. I gave them a negative Google review for their professionalism. Must have hurt their feelings because, while they were happy to charge my credit card, they refused to honor their signed contract. Their reason was hurt feelings for the review. Unfortunately the US Supreme Court rejected the "puddy-woody-wo hurt feelings" defense as a legal reason for contract cancellation. Their estimator shows up on my doorstep, uninvited and unannounced, and waives a "Mutual Cancellation" agreement full of "Whereas's"

Make sure you get multiple quotes before you go with the Roofing Company. We have had an active leak in an addition of our home (about 300 square feet) since December. We called The Roofing Company out since they were the ones who did the inspection on our home when we bought it and they told us that we needed to replace three rows of shingles which we paid them $2,300 to do. However, the roof continued to leak. We called the Roofing Company back out and they said we needed metal wrap around the addition to prevent the leak. So we spent another $3,939 to do that. The roof continued to leak and

I wish I would had never used this company for my roof and sky lights. They advertise and their sales guy very much loves to say they use factory trained GAF installers. The truth is they us sub contractors who most cannot speak English and from the results I got had no clue how to shingle a roof. I do not have a problem with that if they knew what they where doing. I've installed roofs and know how to do them. I am very glad I was very involved in the first install. Yes they had to install the new roof 2xs. I'll say the crew only knew how to nail with a nail gun as in you put it down

The re-roofing of my 1921 Bungalow has been VERY disappointing. Before the crew even got done they had to rip off the cricket and re-do it. Their laborers put a ridge vent on a section that wasn't supposed to have one and damaged the original tongue and groove roofing that was there.
Then a few weeks later we had a material leak in my brand new 50 year roof (didn't even make it 50 weeks) in the kitchen, right over the stove. After they came out and supposedly fixed the leak a few weeks later, it just broke loose again even worse then before they said they fixed it (Pictures available

I absolutely loved working with this company. I do not live in the state where my home was being repaired, and after countless estimates from other companies, I went with The Roofing Company. Their bid wasn't the lowest I received, but their customer service and how thorough they were throughout the process was unmatched. The pictures before and after the job were done very well, the project manager contacted me several times throughout the roofing project, and made me feel like I was right there in town. I cannot recommend them more, and was surprised to see some less than stellar reviews

A Flat Residential Roof
My initial interaction was negative but after they stepped up to the plate and resolved the issues I decided to delete my earlier review and re-post.
Finding a reputable company to do a flat residential roof is difficult. It is more challenging than a shingle roof. After several hard rains I am very pleased with the outcome of their work. I can now recommend them without hesitation.

Be careful using this company. They took the time to obtain GAF (manufacturer) certification. They are not BBB accredited. The contract terms and conditions had grammar problems that made it difficult to interpret legally. The proposed job description was poorly organized and difficult to interpret as well. The proposal contradicted the attic ventillation NFA standard that I was trying to meet or exceed. The proposal did not show how it met the requirements for GAF warranty. Sales person claimed expense for design work. Design work is offered for free by GAF and other roofing product manufacturers
