Roof Inspection for Insurance Purposes on Tyree Cir in Madison Heights, VA

Our Lynchburg roofing team visited a home on Tyree Cir in Madison Heights, VA, after the homeowner requested a full roof inspection for insurance purposes. The homeowner’s insurance had recently dropped coverage due to concerns about the condition of the shingle roof, and visible missing shingles made an evaluation necessary to determine next steps.

What We Found During the Roof Inspection

The home currently has an aging shingle roof with several missing shingles, which creates vulnerable areas where water can penetrate the decking. These exposed spots often lead to moisture intrusion, wind uplift, and long-term roof deterioration—common issues in older Madison Heights neighborhoods that see frequent seasonal storms and strong gusts across open yards.

Because this was an insurance-driven inspection, the focus was on documenting the condition of the shingles, flashing, ventilation, and decking visibility where shingles have become dislodged. The home has one-story access in the front and two-story access from the back, allowing for a complete evaluation of all slopes.

Recommended Roofing Scope

The material list prepared for the property includes everything needed for a full roof replacement using Tamko Heritage architectural shingles in Rustic Black, along with updated underlayment and flashing components. According to the file, the system includes:

• Tamko Heritage architectural shingles (13 squares)
• Hip and ridge caps
• Starter strip
• Ice & water shield
• Synthetic underlayment
• White aluminum drip edge
