Our Lynchburg roofing team recently visited a home on Farmville Rd in Keysville, VA, to evaluate a shingle roof that had developed an active leak. The homeowner noted a drip in the attic and significant granule loss on the existing shingles—both signs that the roof is nearing the end of its lifespan. Because of the leak and the overall condition of the system, the homeowner requested two estimates so they could compare the cost and benefits of architectural shingles versus metal roofing before making a decision.
The home is a single-story structure with an older asphalt shingle roof showing advanced wear. Missing granules, weakened shingle surfaces, and signs of moisture penetration in the attic indicate that the roof is no longer providing effective protection. This is common for aging homes throughout Keysville, especially along rural roads like Farmville Rd where storms and tree coverage can accelerate deterioration.
The homeowner wanted clear pricing and scope details for both options—modern architectural shingles and a durable screw-down MasterRib metal roof.
The architectural shingle replacement includes a complete tear-off and installation using Owens Corning TruDefinition Duration shingles. According to the estimate, the system includes:
• Owens Corning TruDef Duration architectural shingles (25 squares)
• Hip and ridge caps
• Starter strip
• Ice & water shield
• Synthetic underlayment
• Aluminum drip edge
• Coil roofing nails
• GAF Master Flow power fan
• Static vent
• Four plumbing boots
• Button caps
• Walkable labor and tear-off
• Cut-in flashing
• Mule-Hide/Tribuilt system for the low-slope section (2.3 sq)
Total project cost shown: $11,908.12
This system offers strong weather protection, improved ventilation, and a long-lasting upgrade suitable for homes in Keysville.
The homeowner also received a complete estimate for a MasterRib screw-down metal roofing system. Key components include:
• 29-gauge MasterRib panels (25 squares)
• High-heat ice & water shield
• Synthetic underlayment
• Pitch-specific eave drip edge and gable trim
• Hip/ridge trim, pitch breaks, valleys, sidewall & endwall trim
• Universal and eave closure strips
• Color-matched screws and fasteners
• Caulk, butyl tape, and sealants
• Snow bars (150 ft)
• Delivery fee
• Walkable metal labor, OP, and cut list charge
• Mule-Hide/Tribuilt low-slope section (2.3 sq)
Total project cost shown: $15,946.39
This option provides a long-lasting roof with excellent durability, ideal for rural properties that experience strong winds and heavy seasonal storms.
Many homeowners in Keysville, Charlotte Court House, and Drakes Branch request dual estimates to compare modern architectural shingles with metal roofing. Each system offers different benefits—from affordability and aesthetics to longevity and weather resistance.
Our team provides clear, detailed estimates for both materials so homeowners can feel confident choosing the roof that best fits their long-term plans.
