Roof Leak Repair & Replacement Estimate on Tanager Pl in Leesburg, VA

Our Leesburg roofing team visited a home on Tanager Pl to evaluate an active leak over the sunroom and to provide both a repair estimate and a full roof replacement estimate for future planning. The existing shingle roof is approximately 25 years old, which places it at the typical end of service life for asphalt shingles in Northern Virginia’s climate.

What We Found During the Roof Inspection

The homeowner reported an immediate leak above the sunroom that needs to be addressed as soon as possible. Leak issues in sunroom additions are common in Leesburg due to pitch transitions, aging flashing, and older underlayment that no longer sheds water properly. Because the roof is around 25 years old, worn shingles and deteriorated waterproofing layers are the likely contributing factors.

While the immediate priority is repairing the sunroom leak, the overall condition of the roof indicates that a full replacement will be necessary in the near future. Age-related wear, weakened shingle surfaces, and failing flashing components were noted during the inspection.

Full Replacement Estimate Overview

A full shingle replacement was prepared based on the homeowner’s long-term plans. According to the proposal, the recommended system includes tear-off to a clean deck and installation of updated architectural shingles. The contract lists multiple shingle options—Owens Corning TruDefinition Duration, Tamko Titan XT, and Tamko Heritage (Silver Package)—providing flexibility depending on budget and performance preferences. The full replacement scope includes:

• Complete shingle tear-off
• Replacement of rotten wood as needed (first two sheets free)
• Installation of metal drip edge at all edges
• Ice & water shield in valleys, low-slope areas, penetrations, and all flashed transitions
• Synthetic underlayment
• Proper starter strips at eaves and rakes
• Replacement of all vent boots, air vents, and chimney counter flashing
• Ridge vent installation where applicable
• Correct product-specific ridge caps

The proposal also notes optional skylight replacements for the house, shed, and garage, which can be added at the homeowner’s discretion.

Next Steps for the Homeowner

1. Immediate Priority: Repair the active sunroom leak to prevent interior damage.
2. Near Future: Plan for a full roof replacement, as the current shingles are at the end of their lifespan and showing signs of failure.
3. Optional Upgrades: Consider skylight replacements and enhanced ventilation options during the full roof installation.
