About Our Roofing Company in Lyon Village
Lyon Village is one of Arlington’s most charming and sought-after neighborhoods. The homes here are largely Colonial Revivals, Craftsman bungalows, and Cape Cods built between the 1920s and 1950s. The tree canopy is beautiful. The building’s design is authentic. And the roofing needs are serious. Homes built in this era feature original or near-original roof designs, and contractors must be familiar with the building techniques used in older homes, and not only with the methods used for modern tract homes.
The mature trees that make Lyon Village so visually unique also constantly cause debris to build up in gutters and valleys. A single season without gutter cleaning can result in a backup that will allow water to back up under the shingles along the eave line. On Lyon Village inspections we see damage all the time and it is entirely preventable with the right approach to roof maintenance.

Frequently Asked Questions
Spring and fall are best because they have moderate temperatures and humidity, and shingles seal down well and don't get too hot or too cold when installing. Replacements are common and effective during the summer. Winter replacements can be done but require specific installation precautions for adhesive sealing.
Roof deck condition is evaluated during our inspection by walking the roof carefully and observing soft spots, bounce, and/or visible sagging. Additionally, we inspect inside the attic when possible. Older homes with sheathing or older board decking that is spaced or needs to be replaced in part or in full may require replacement prior to installation of new shingles.
When the existing roof is in good shape but only needs some repairs, we source matching shingles from the same manufacturer line, wherever possible. However, the colors of shingles change over the years as a result of weathering and it is difficult to get a perfect match on older roofing.
Chimney flashing should be checked at least once every 2-3 years on a home of this age. Original step and counter-flashing from the 1930s and 40s has long since exceeded its useful life. Often, previous roof replacements reused the old flashing instead of replacing it, and this is a frequent source of leaks.
Tarp is used to collect debris prior to work. We use magnetic rollers on driveways and lawns to pick up nails. We haul off all debris daily and leave the property clean at the end of every work day. Protecting the exterior appearance of a Lyon Village property is part of the job for us.
Typically, a quality architectural shingle roof installed correctly in the Northern Virginia area will last for 25-30 years. Older installations have three-tab shingles that last typically 15 to 20 years. Actual life span will vary significantly based on the quality of the ventilation and quality of the installation and if ice and water shield was applied at vulnerable areas.
We work with homeowners through the insurance claim process regularly. We provide detailed written damage assessments and documentation that meets insurance adjuster requirements. We do not work as public adjusters and we don't make promises about claim outcomes, but we give you everything you need to present a strong, well-documented claim.
