A roof is not just shingles. It is a system. Deck, ice and water shield, synthetic underlayment, drip edge, starter strip, field shingles, ridge cap, and ventilation. Skip any layer and the whole thing fails early.
We install every layer to manufacturer spec. That is how you get a full warranty, not a partial one.
6 steps from tear-off to cleanup. Every job follows this process.
Tear-Off: Every layer comes off down to the deck
Deck Inspection: We check every board for rot and damage
Underlayment: Ice and water shield goes on before shingles
Install: New shingles go on row by row, hand-nailed
Finished: Clean lines, no mess, ready for final walkthrough
Cleanup: Magnetic sweep, debris hauled, yard inspection
Fairfax County gets severe thunderstorms, occasional hail, and remnants of tropical systems. The 2012 derecho caused widespread roof and siding damage across the county. Ice storms in winter can bring down trees onto homes.
Fairfax County is one of the wealthiest counties in the US with housing ranging from 1950s-60s ramblers in Falls Church and McLean to massive 2000s-era McMansions in Great Falls and South Riding. Many 1970s-80s neighborhoods in Reston, Burke, and Springfield are in the replacement window for roofs and siding.
67.3% of homes in this county were built before 1990.

Most homes in Fairfax County were built around 1982. At that age, most original roofs have been replaced at least once - and many are overdue.
FEATHERFALL serves all neighborhoods in Fairfax County including Centreville, Reston, McLean, Burke, Annandale, Oakton, Springfield, Tysons Corner.
If your roof replacement issue was caused by wind, hail, a fallen tree, or another covered event, your homeowner's insurance may pay for the repair or replacement. The key is documenting the damage correctly before you file.

In Fairfax County, most contractors charge between $350 and $700 per square for asphalt shingle replacement, with a square being a 10-foot by 10-foot area. The wide range depends on the shingle quality, how many layers need to be torn off, and whether there is any decking damage underneath. Metal and specialty materials cost significantly more per square.
Yes, most municipalities in Virginia require a building permit for a full roof replacement. Your contractor should pull the permit for you as part of the job. FEATHERFALL pulls all permits as a standard part of every project. If a contractor tells you a permit is not needed or asks you to pull it yourself, that is a warning sign.
Late spring through early fall gives you the best weather for a roof replacement in Fairfax County. Shingles need warm temperatures to seal properly. That said, fall is often the sweet spot because demand drops slightly and you can sometimes get better scheduling. Avoid winter installations unless it is an emergency.
The cheap quote is almost always missing something. Common things left out: new drip edge, proper ice and water shield in valleys, replacement of damaged flashing, and full underlayment coverage. Some contractors also use thinner decking screws or skip starter strips. Compare every line item, not just the total. The cheapest roof is usually the most expensive one you will ever buy.
If your gutters are older or showing signs of damage, yes. The roofing crew already has the ladders and equipment set up, so adding gutters at the same time saves on labor costs. New drip edge ties directly into the gutter system, and installing both together ensures a proper connection. If your gutters are in good shape, leave them alone.
Synthetic underlayment is lighter, stronger, and lasts longer if the roof is exposed to weather during installation. It does not absorb water like felt paper does, and it is less likely to tear in high winds. The cost difference is small compared to the total job price. Most quality contractors use synthetic as their standard now.
If your insurance company pays out more than the roof costs, you legally keep the difference on an RCV (replacement cost value) policy after all covered work is completed. On an ACV (actual cash value) policy, the payout is based on the depreciated value, so there is rarely leftover money. Your policy details determine how this works for your specific situation.
Yes, for most homeowners it is worth the upgrade. Architectural shingles are thicker, handle wind better, and last longer in real-world conditions. They also look significantly better, which matters when you sell the house. The price difference is usually only $1,000 to $2,000 on an average-sized home. FEATHERFALL backs every installation with a No-Leak for Life warranty, so you are covered either way.
