When the roof over your head has reached the end of its service life, replacement is the moment to rethink what's actually best for your home. For Harvey, that meant saying goodbye to an aging metal roof on his home at Poplar Hill Road in Newtown and choosing a fresh architectural shingle system in its place. Our Midlothian roofing team handled the full tear-off and replacement, giving the home a durable, great-looking roof backed by a manufacturer-registered warranty.
This project is a good example of how a thoughtful roof replacement isn't just about swapping old for new — it's about matching the right system to the home and the homeowner's goals.
It's a question worth asking, since metal and shingles each have their place. In this case, the homeowner weighed both paths — we provided estimates for a standing seam metal system as well as an architectural shingle system — and ultimately chose Owens Corning TruDefinition Duration architectural shingles in Estate Gray. Architectural shingles deliver a rich, dimensional look, proven durability, and the backing of a trusted manufacturer warranty, all at a price point that made sense for this home. Giving homeowners a clear, honest comparison and then executing on their choice is exactly how we like to work.
Our crew tore the old metal roof off down to a clean deck and rebuilt the system across roughly 25.6 squares of roof. Tearing off to the deck — rather than covering over the old material — lets us inspect the wood underneath and build the new roof on a sound, clean surface. Here's what went into it:
We also rebuilt and re-flashed the cricket on the chimney — a small structural detail that diverts water around the chimney and is a common source of leaks when neglected.
Not every home is built to ventilate perfectly, and we believe in being upfront about it. Because of this home's design, we let the homeowner know that ideal attic ventilation wasn't achievable, while still registering the full Owens Corning System Protection warranty. That kind of straight talk — telling you what we can and can't guarantee before the work begins — is part of being a roofer you can trust.
This roof came with the registered Owens Corning System Protection manufacturer's warranty plus Cenvar's workmanship warranty, transferable to a new owner within the covered window. As with every Cenvar project, the homeowner paid nothing until the job was complete, the deck was sound, and the site was cleaned up.
Whether you're replacing an old metal roof, an aging shingle roof, or weighing your options between systems, our Midlothian branch serves Newtown and communities across the greater Richmond area with honest assessments and quality workmanship.
