Roofing for Lake Anna and Louisa County homes

Lake houses and old farmhouses

About 6 in 10 homes in the Bumpass and Mineral ZIP codes, 23024 and 23117, were built in 1990 or later, according to the Census Bureau. In Hanover County, it’s about half.

The older homes here are older than most. In the 23093 ZIP code around the town of Louisa, about 1 in 11 homes was built before 1940, more than twice the share in Hanover County.

Older metal roofs

A lot of the older farmhouses and outbuildings out here have painted metal roofs. Once the paint wears through, rust starts at the seams and fasteners.

We restored an old painted metal roof near Mineral in 2024: the photos below are its rusted seams and fasteners, and the finished roof. Whether yours can be restored depends on whether the panels are still sound. If they’re rusted through, Houston shows you where and prices new metal or shingles instead.

If it’s a weekend house

About 1 in 7 homes in the Bumpass and Mineral ZIP codes is a seasonal or weekend home, according to the Census Bureau. In Hanover County, it’s fewer than 1 in 100.

When nobody’s home, a slow leak can run for weeks before anyone sees it. After a big storm, a free inspection with photos of what we find tells you whether anything needs fixing.

Wind brings the limbs down

NOAA’s storm records list thunderstorm wind reports in Louisa County on 52 days from 2016 through 2025, about five a year. Hail an inch or larger was reported on 7 days.

On wooded lots, wind lifts shingle edges and drops limbs on roofs. We do a free inspection after a storm and send you photos of what we find, so you can decide what’s next.
