Selecting A Reputable Roofing Contractor in Charlottesville & Harrisonburg

/in , /by

HOW DO I KNOW WHICH ROOFING CONTRACTOR TO TRUST?

There are many factors that go into the selection of the right roofing contractor: are they dependable? Are they insured? Do you know anyone personally in the Charlotteville or Shenandoah Valley area who can vouch for the quality of their work? Are they rated highly by the Better Business Bureau?

All of those are important questions that you deserve an answer to before signing any contracts for services, to avoid roofing scams. On a shingle re-roofing job, it’s the old shingles that should get ripped off, not you!

 

WHAT SHOULD I KNOW ABOUT THE PROCESS?

Your questions don’t have to end there. We often get questions about what all goes into a shingle replacement job in Virginia: Do you only replace a few shingles that are damaged? What about the roof deck underneath the shingles? Do you have to replace the trusses?

Well, the answers to those questions is: it depends! Unless the roof has sustained serious rain damage, we generally strip all the shingles off and install new ones.

Now you can see the process for yourself in this new video featuring Steve and Ben.

The job featured in this video is a Golden Pledge Warranty job. That means we take everything down to the roof deck. All the old paper will be removed, and we address anything on the roof deck that needs fixing. Once that’s done, we put new GAF Timberline shingles and the roof system back down.

If you’re looking for a roofing contractor in the Charlottesville, Harrisonburg, or Staunton-Augusta-Waynesboro area, you know that Valley Roofing has the experience and reputation you can trust to get the job done right.

Better Technology Means Better Half Round Gutters for You

/in , /by

Half round gutters match the traditional aesthetic and modern functionality of your home.

Harken back to a bygone era with the warmth of half round gutters. To restore a home or building to its original aesthetic means caring for every detail. Valley Roofing brings modern installation to a traditional product to give you greater product reliability in the look you want. Preserve the style of your home with added function and longevity in your modern half-round gutters.

New technology offers seamless half round gutters to greatly improve performance.

In the past, half round gutters were installed with seams to bind the pieces together. The many seams proved the weakest part of the gutter systems and were often the cause for replacing a gutter system. Today we have the equipment to do the job seamlessly, which dramatically increases the strength of your half round gutter system. The modern day solution looks the same, but performs much better than the original. The more seams you have, the more chance of something going wrong. Now you only have seams at the corners, which eliminates a gutter being pieced together and reduces your chance of leaks.

A variety of colors help you perfectly enhance your home.

Half round gutters are offered in a large selection of colors to keep the traditional look of the home. Add to the aesthetic of your home with the right color of your half round gutter system. Valley Roofing has style experts to help you find the perfect fit.

Sick of Clogged Gutters? We’ve Got the Perfect Gutter Guard Solution!

/in , /by

What’s not to love about the protection your gutters provide?

Gutters protect your home from leaks, provide pathways for precipitation and eliminate drips. The gutters that run the perimeter of your home serve multiple purposes, all designed for your comfort and protection. But what protects them? Proper installation goes a long way to keep snow and ice from causing sagging and structural damage. Regular cleaning keeps your gutters functioning at optimal water flow. However, cleaning out your gutters is likely not the most pleasant task and may not get done often enough. The solution is simple – restrict the debris from getting into the gutters in the first place with Leaf Relief Gutter Guards.

Leave the fun of gutter cleaning behind.

Getting up on your roof isn’t something you typically look forward to doing. Heights aside, the gunk that you find in your gutters is on its way to fine compost at best, and may contain live snakes or rodents at worst. The best way to eliminate the potential of a nasty surprise is to keep the debris and wildlife out to begin with. Leaf Relief Gutter Guards provide a barrier that lets water in and keeps everything else out. As leaves and tree debris falls on your gutters protected with gutter guards, they don’t have a chance to nest down in the gutter.

Stay clean and clear with Leaf Relief Gutter Guards’s 10-year warranty with proper installation.

No clog, no-overflow due to internal debris is the Leaf Relief promise. With proper installation, your gutter guards are manufacturer warrantied for 10 years. Valley Roofing also guarantees workmanship for 5 years, to add to your peace of mind. Not only do you get to give up the dirty task of cleaning your gutters, but they function well and protect your home for years to come.
