Top Rated Roofing Contractor in Columbia Pike, Arlington VA
Columbia Pike is showing its age, and so are the roofs on those homes and apartment buildings. A lot of what’s along this corridor was built back in the 50s and 60s. We’re talking original materials, years of freezing and thawing, and tree gunk piling up in the gutters season after season. When you see a problem in the interior, it’s typically months old and has been building up on the roof. We’re Arlington VA Roofing and we handle it all on Columbia Pike, with a local crew that’s licensed and insured. Call us and we’ll help you determine what your roof needs.

Property Types We Serve Along Columbia Pike
Columbia Pike is located in one of the most populated and historically working-class corridors in Arlington. The houses are older, trees are grown up, and the buildings include original 1950s ranch homes and mid-rise apartment complexes. Generic roofing approaches just miss the specific problems that consistently pop up in this area.
Older Apartment Complexes
Buildings from the 1960s and 70s with built-up roofing systems that have never been fully replaced. We assess these honestly and recommend the most cost-effective long-term solution.
Single-Family Homes on Residential Streets
The areas behind the Pike (Penrose, Nauck, Alcova Heights) are comprised of older residential homes that require attention. They are usually asphalt shingle roofs on steeper slopes.
Retail and Mixed-Use Commercial Buildings
Flat-roofed retail buildings along the main commercial strip are common here. TPO membrane systems are our recommendation for most of these due to their energy efficiency.
New Construction and Renovated Properties
We work on new construction roofing installations as well as full replacements on recently renovated multi-family properties.

Frequently Asked Questions
Fast-moving cells can drop two or more inches of rain in under an hour. For flat roofs, that means drainage systems have to be clear and fully functional. For residential roofs, it's about the shingle adhesion and flashing integrity.
In Northern Virginia, TPO single ply membrane is our most common choice for flat or low slope commercial roofs. It is summer proof, UV reflective, and will withstand the thermal cycling that Arlington winters bring. Another solid choice for buildings that are cost-sensitive is EPDM. A modified bitumen is suitable for existing structures where a built-up system is being replaced.
When the membrane is over 20 years old, has been patched numerous times, and has areas of ponding water and/or a high rate of seam failure, replacement is typically the more economical long-term solution. We assess this honestly during the inspection and give you the full picture before any decision is made.
Arlington County requires a building permit for most full roof replacements. On some projects, commercial and multi-family buildings will need more documentation, such as material specifications and load calculations. We process permit applications.
The price of replacing the entire shingle roof on a single-family residence ranges from $8,000 to $18,000, depending on the roof's size, pitch and the condition of the roof deck below. We don't just use a square footage formula, we give you written estimates based on your roof.
Yes, it can, and much faster than most people think. Debris traps water between shingles, promotes moss growth and clogs gutters, causing water to pool under the roof line. We see this on Columbia Pike properties all the time.
Most single-family replacements in this area take one to two days. Larger homes or jobs that require repairs to the roof deck underneath might take an extra day. Before we begin, we'll provide you with a realistic timeframe.
