Roofing for Powhatan County homes

Built in the 1990s and 2000s

Nearly half of Powhatan County’s homes were built in the 1990s or 2000s, according to the Census Bureau. In Chesterfield County next door, it’s about 1 in 3.

That puts a lot of roofs in the same age range. A home built in 1998 that still has its first roof has a roof that’s 28 years old. One built in 2008 is on a roof that’s nearly 20.

Repair or replace

An older roof doesn’t always need replacing yet. Houston walks it and photographs what he finds: worn granules, cracked tabs, lifted edges, tired pipe boots. If a repair will hold, he prices the repair. If the roof is worn out, he shows you why and prices both packages.

Wind, not hail

NOAA’s storm records list thunderstorm wind reports in Powhatan County on 29 days from 2016 through 2025, about three a year. Hail an inch or larger was reported on just 1 day.

So for most Powhatan roofs, the storm risk is wind and falling limbs. After a storm, we do a free inspection and send you photos of what we find, so you can decide what’s next.

Seamless gutters

We roll seamless gutters on site with our own machine, cut to the length of each run, so there are no seams along the way to leak. If you’re replacing your roof and your color is on the truck, they go up the same day.
