Shingle Roofing in Winchester, VAArchitectural shingle roofs, nailed, flashed and ventilated properly
Asphalt shingles cover most homes in Winchester for a reason: they look good, they cost less than the alternatives, and installed properly they hold up to Valley weather. Winchester Roofing installs and repairs shingle roofs.
What we do
New architectural shingle roofs, full tear off and replacement, repairs and section replacements, and ridge, hip and starter courses done with the right product instead of cut up field shingles.
What separates a good shingle roof from a bad one
- Nails placed in the nailing strip, not above it
- The right nail count for the pitch and the wind exposure
- Starter course along the eaves and rakes
- Drip edge on every edge
- Leak barrier in the valleys and along the eaves
- New flashing, not the old flashing reused
- Balanced intake and exhaust ventilation
- Pipe boots and vents replaced along with the roof
Three tab versus architectural
Older homes around Winchester often still carry flat three tab shingles. Architectural shingles are thicker, layered and handle wind better, and they are what goes on nearly every new roof now. If you are repairing a three tab roof we can still match it, and we will tell you when the repair is no longer worth it.
Color and the look of the house
The roof is a large part of what a house looks like from the street. We bring samples and look at them against the brick or siding in daylight, because a color reads differently on a whole roof than it does on a sample board.

Shingle Roofing questions
- How long does a shingle roof last?
It depends on the product, the ventilation and the sun exposure. Twenty years or more is typical for an architectural shingle that was installed and ventilated properly. A hot, unvented attic can take years off.
- Can shingles be installed in cold weather?
Yes, with care. Shingles are more brittle in the cold and the seal strips need warmth to bond, so we hand seal where needed and watch the forecast.
- Why are my shingles losing granules?
Some loss is normal on a brand new roof and at the very end of a roof’s life. Heavy loss in between usually points to hail, foot traffic or a ventilation problem.
