Shingle Roof Replacement

Quality Craftsmanship, Lasting Protection, and a Roof You Can Rely On

A shingle roof does much more than cap your home — it shapes the look of your exterior, protects everything beneath it, and plays a major role in your home’s energy efficiency. Over time, even a well-built roof will begin to show signs of aging. Shingles loosen, granules wear away, leaks start to appear, and the roof simply can’t keep up with the demands of the weather anymore.

When that time comes, a full shingle roof replacement is one of the most valuable investments you can make in your home. Not only does it restore protection and peace of mind, but it also enhances curb appeal and boosts resale value.

At Roof Artistry, we take shingle roof replacements seriously. We understand that this isn’t just another project — it’s your home, your comfort, and your long-term security. Our goal is to install a roof that stands up to the coastal climate of Norfolk and Virginia Beach while delivering the clean, polished look homeowners want.

When to Consider a Shingle Roof Replacement

Roofs rarely fail all at once. More often, the signs appear gradually — one or two problem areas at first, followed by a growing list of concerns. If you’re noticing any of the following, your roof may be nearing the end of its lifespan:

Common Indicators You Need a New Roof

• Cracked, curled, or missing shingles
  Shingles can only handle so many years of sun, wind, and storms before they break down.
• Frequent leaks or water stains indoors
  Moisture in the attic or ceilings is a major warning sign that the roof system is compromised.
• Excessive granules in gutters
  If you see dark, sand-like material washing into your gutters, the shingles are wearing out.
• Visible sagging
  Structural sagging should always be taken seriously — it’s often a sign of water intrusion or weakened decking.
• Widespread storm or hail damage
  Asphalt shingles are durable, but hail can bruise the mat and shorten the roof’s lifespan.
• Your roof is 18–25+ years old
  Most asphalt shingles last about two decades, depending on the material.

If you’re unsure whether you need repairs or a full replacement, we’re happy to perform a detailed inspection and walk you through your options.

What to Expect During Your Roof Replacement

We’ve refined our process over the years to be thorough, efficient, and respectful of your home and your time. Our team handles everything with professionalism — from the first inspection to the final nail pickup.

1. Comprehensive Roof Inspection

The process begins with a detailed look at your current roof. We evaluate the shingles, flashing, decking, ventilation, and any problem areas. We take clear photos so you can see exactly what we see and understand the condition of your roof.

2. Material & Color Selection

Not all shingles are created equal. We help you choose from a range of high-quality options, including:

• Architectural shingles
• Designer and luxury shingles
• Impact-resistant shingles
• Climate-optimized materials

You’ll have access to numerous colors and styles to match your home’s architecture — from modern to rustic to coastal-inspired. As CertainTeed-certified installers, we ensure your shingles perform the way the manufacturer intended.

3. Preparation & Tear-Off

We take great care to protect your property. Before the tear-off begins, we set up tarps, shield landscaping, and prepare the area so debris stays contained. Our crew removes all old shingles, nails, and underlayment, leaving a clean surface for the new installation.

4. Underlayment & Flashing Installation

This is one of the most important stages of the job. A roof's strength comes not just from the shingles but from everything beneath them.

We install:

• Premium underlayment
• Ice and water shield around leak-prone areas
• New flashing around chimneys, skylights, and valleys

This layer is your home’s hidden protection against leaks — and we never cut corners on it.

5. Shingle Installation

Your new shingles are installed following manufacturer guidelines down to the smallest detail. Proper nail placement, accurate alignment, and secure sealing make the difference between a roof that lasts and one that fails early. We don’t rush. We do it right.

6. Replacement of Components

Along with the shingles, we ensure the entire roof system is updated:

• Pipe collars
• Box vents or ridge vents
• Skylights (optional)
• Skylight flashing
• Chimney flashing
• Drip edge
• Starter shingles
• Ridge caps

A roof is only as strong as its weakest link. We make sure every link is brand new and built to last.

7. Final Inspection & Cleanup

No job is complete until the site is spotless. We perform a full inspection, review the installation with you, and run magnets around your property to pick up any loose nails. Your home will look clean, polished, and refreshed — as if we were never there.

FAQ: Shingle Roof Replacement

How long does a roof replacement take?

Most replacements take one day, depending on the size of the roof. Larger or more complex roofs may take two days.

Do I really need a full replacement, or can it be repaired?

If the damage is localized, repairs may be an option. But if the roof is aging, has widespread issues, or has storm damage across several slopes, a replacement is usually more cost-effective in the long run.

Will replacing my roof increase my home’s value?

Yes. A new shingle roof can significantly boost curb appeal and resale value. Many buyers won’t consider a home with an aging roof.

What types of shingles last the longest?

Architectural shingles and impact-resistant shingles typically offer the best durability and longevity for the price.

Can you help with insurance claims?

Yes. If your roof has storm or hail damage, we can assist with documentation, inspections, and working with your insurance adjuster.

Do you offer financing?

If you'd like financing options, we can walk you through what's available to make your project more affordable.
