A homeowner near Charlottesville in Ivy, VA called us recently because they were experiencing severe leaks that had already damaged their home’s interior. When this client’s attempts to repair the leak failed, they contacted the professionals who had helped them after a storm. We promptly identified the problem, provided a detailed proposal for all the work we would do, and completed both their roofing material and gutter replacement projects to the homeowner’s satisfaction.

For a high-end look, we installed GAF Timberline HDZ shingles in Williamsburg Slate and new copper counter flashings. These decorative flashings give this home exterior some pop! GAF is a trusted roofing material company, and their Timberline shingles have many advantages. These architectural shingles are made with high-definition colors and contain algae-resistant materials to keep the roof looking fresh and beautiful for decades. 

First, our experienced roofers removed all the old materials and repaired the underlying damage. Then we installed the new roofing materials, including underlayment, shingles, and decorative copper flashing. Finally, one of our supervisors conducted a final inspection to ensure quality and debris was removed from the property. Throughout the entire process, Roof Top Services prioritized safety, quality workmanship, and customer satisfaction.

Here’s a great example of how we, as reputable roofing contractors, treat our existing clients. Some roofers might disappear after they do some repairs, but Roof Top Services, Virginia’s trusted roofing company, is always there for their clients. 

We recently completed a new roof installation project for an existing client in Keswick, Virginia. The client had some roof repairs on a previous house they’d owned. So when it was time to build a new home, they knew just the roofers to call for a new roof. After a consultation with our representative, the homeowner chose a modern roofing material: a 26 gauge, pre-painted Englert metal in Dark Bronze Finish.

The roofing system utilized a double-locked standing seam metal material. The panels are machine formed on-site and seamed together once installed on the roof. This installation method ensures a secure and water-tight seal, providing superior protection against weather elements and other potential sources of damage. Metal roofing is becoming increasingly common because of its excellent durability and wealth of design choices. 

Using pre-painted metal ensures long-lasting beauty and durability while being environmentally friendly. Additionally, the dark bronze finish adds an elegant touch to the house’s overall look. This is an excellent feature of metal roofing materials because they can be manufactured in stunning colors and finishes to match any home exterior. 

At Roof Top Services, the team takes great pride in their attention to detail and the quality craftsmanship required to complete a project of this nature. The installation was executed flawlessly, ensuring the roof looks great and performs at its highest level.

The client was thrilled with the outcome and satisfied with the exceptional service provided by the Roof Top Services crew. If you’re in the Keswick area and need a new roof installation or any other roofing services, Roof Top Services is the trusted choice.

Roof Top Services LLC, Earlysville VA’s premier roofers, are always happy to help local homeowners protect their homes with a new roof. After hearing about how we had helped their neighbors, an Earlysville VA homeowner contacted us about their two story house with a complicated hipped roof design. The existing metal roof was severely damaged by a hail storm and the homeowner was worried about water damage. The roofing professionals at Roof Top Services jumped on the chance to help, starting with a thorough roof inspection.

We discovered the client’s existing terne metal roof needed to be replaced. The homeowner wanted the same roofing material, but that type of terne metal is no longer available so he chose a new copper roof. Once we had the design created, Roof Top Services got to work. Our roofers first tore off the metal roofing, all flashings, and underlayment. We found several water damaged plywood planks.

After the old roof was removed, we installed a high-temperature ice and water shield in all valleys and soffits, as well as synthetic, felt over the whole roof to protect against further moisture damage. Next we installed the new copper roof over the house and garage, as well as several chimneys and vents. Our roofing experts fabricated the copper panels on-site with custom flashing for the chimneys and vents, even installing counterflashing to ensure a watertight flashing.

After completion of the roof, we installed copper snow guards on each standing seam to further protect the home. After a final clean-up and debris removal, the job was complete. The homeowner was very pleased with their new copper roof, but they were especially impressed with our 10 year workmanship warranty.

The roofing experts at Roof Top Services LLC performed an asphalt roof shingle cleaning project for a homeowner in Keswick, located in Albermarle County VA.

The homeowner of this Albermarle County home noticed some unsightly stains on their roof. They wanted to have it cleaned off because they were concerned about the adverse way it affected their home’s curb appeal. They asked several neighbor friends for recommendations for a reputable roofing company that could do asphalt roof cleaning and they were sent our way, calling on us.

We arrived for an estimate on a Friday afternoon. We noticed some dark green stains that were creeping across the roof. Many Virginia roofs have green or black stains that surface, which can be problematic – and more so than just an unsightly problem. Many stains are caused by a type of algae known as gloeocapsa magma, which contains spores that can spread across your roof, leading to undesirable discoloration. But there is more. This algae can also eat away at the composite that your shingles are made of, leading to a loss in waterproof function. Thus, failure to address stains on your roof may actually cause you to need a roof replacement much sooner than necessary! We told the client this and they hired us right away.

We cleaned their roof for them, eradicating the stain by giving close attention to each shingle. The roof is now safe and will last many years longer! The homeowner was glad they called us!

A metal roofing system is only a good as the installer. At Roof Top Services we take pride in the knowledge and fabrication of our metal roof systems. We are proud to say that we have never had one of our installed metal roofs fail. When a severe storm comes through the Albemarle County region with high winds, we often receive calls about metal roof damage. The homeowner wants to know why their roof failed and can we install a new metal roofing system that will stand the test of time. When we visit the site and inspect the damaged roof, the problems we see are most often installation issues.

The first image below shows a typical metal roof failure due to the combination of installation issues and high winds (ie: Blown off roof example). This is a double lock standing seam roof. The first failure is the fastening system. It is critical for the installer to understand and choose the proper fastener and number of fasteners for each roof installation to avoid wind uplift pressure. The National Roofing Contractors Association (NRCA) recommends two fasteners per hidden clip and the fasteners are to be ring shank nails. The spacing of fasteners is of vital importance. The clips must be spaced 12 inches apart and no further.

Above, you can see that the clips have only one nail each in Photo 1A and that nail has a smooth shank. Photo 1B shows the clips are on average 30 inches apart (versus the recommended 12-inch spacing), which resulted in using only one-third of the fasteners required.

Photo 1C shows the nail Roof Top Services uses is a ring shank which has higher holding power to the roof framing, and it has the required two nails per clip with 12 in spacing between each clip. Photo 1D shows the correct installation clip and nail sequence of one clip every twelve inches on the metal panel.

As you can see from this case study, not all roofing contractors follow the correct installation guidelines. Roof Top Services LLC has been serving Albemarle County and the surrounding areas since 1999. We pride ourselves in the workmanship and high-quality materials that we are able to provide clients, so don’t hesitate to reach out to us with your next roofing project!

Roof Top Services LLC recently performed a residential roof repair and replacement for a client in Keswick, VA, which is located in Albemarle County.

The homeowner wanted her leaking flat rubber roof that was over her bricked porch entry to be looked at. She heard about us from a couple neighbor friends so she gave us a call to have us come take a look.

We were able to come out the next day, which was a Tuesday. The roof was apparently installed by someone when the house was originally built. The porch structure was brick and there were two primary issues with the flat rubber roof. The first was that the transition from the flat rubber to the brick bullnose, where the brick rolled over on the porch. There was no good way to seal that seam as designed and it caused leakage. We told her we would make a conforming copper bullnose cap, which would enable us to properly attach the rubber roof to the metal, creating a watertight seam that solved water infiltration problems with the old seam.

The second problem was that the roof was truly flat and held standing water. The water would shed off onto the sidewalk when it rained, causing damage to the sidewalk below. We told her we could install tapered insulation board to direct the water off in a direction that does not cause any damage and will also prevent water from pooling and standing on the roof.

She loved our plans and contracted with us to perform the job. We installed the new rubber roof with sloped drainage to ensure water falls from the roof in a direction that doesn’t cause any damage. She was thrilled with the beauty of the conformed copper we made, and happy to have a resolution for the seam issue.

The homeowner loves the way her roof looks with the copper and is happy to not have any further problems with leaking or sidewalk damage! Thanks for choosing Roof Top Services, LLC for your porch roof replacement project!
