Roof Leak Inspection and Replacement Estimate on Keith Valley Road in Charlottesville, VA

Our Charlottesville roofing team recently visited a home on Keith Valley Road to assess ongoing roof leaks and provide both a repair estimate and a full replacement estimate. The existing shingle roof is approximately 25 years old and covers a two-story home surrounded by mature trees, which adds wear over time from shade, debris, and moisture retention.

What We Found During the Inspection

The homeowner reported two active leak areas. The first was a skylight that had been replaced previously and performed well until a recent period of exceptionally heavy rain. The second leak appeared in the sunroom after the storm on September 16, indicating that water may be entering from multiple points in the roofing system.

In addition to these leaks, there may be an issue with the flashing around the chimney. Flashing failure is common on older roofs, especially when shingles and underlayment begin to deteriorate. With the roof nearing the end of its lifespan, these leaks are a sign that the system is no longer shedding water effectively.

Recommended Roofing Plan

After examining the roof surfaces, skylights, sunroom connection, and chimney area, our team prepared a complete replacement estimate. The proposed roofing system includes Tamko Titan XT architectural shingles in the Virginia Slate color, ice and water shield on vulnerable areas, synthetic underlayment, new drip edge, ridge vent, lifetime plumbing boots, step flashing, counter flashing, and two new Velux skylights with flashing kits. These materials provide long-term durability and bring the home up to current roofing standards.

For homeowners in Charlottesville experiencing skylight leaks, chimney flashing issues, or aging shingles, a full replacement is often the most cost-effective solution. With this property showing repeated moisture concerns after heavy weather, updating the entire roofing system will help prevent future interior damage and improve overall energy efficiency.
