Shingle Roof Replacement in Charlotte Court House, VA

Project Case Study: A Full Roof Replacement in Charlotte County

Bonnie Pettigrew's two-story home on Fearstown Road in Charlotte Court House needed its shingles replaced. She reached out to Cenvar in mid-April, our lead center booked the call, and the team from our Farmville branch — which covers Charlotte Court House, Keysville, and the surrounding Charlotte County area — put together the proposal the following week.

Bonnie's roof had some specifics worth noting. It's an 8-facet roof with a steep 10/12 main pitch, but there's a low-pitch facet on the rear of the home that sits under 4/12 — which meant specific underlayment requirements regardless of which package she chose (more on that below). Total coverage came out to 17.3 squares.

When Silver Is the Right Package

Cenvar offers three roofing packages — Silver, Gold, and Platinum — and Bonnie chose Silver. The three tiers aren't tiers of quality in the sense of "good, better, best." They're tiers of warranty duration and extent of coverage. Same install crews, same build-quality standards, same satisfaction guarantee:

  • Cenguard Silver — 10-year material warranty, 5-year workmanship warranty. Drip edge, ice and water barrier, and starter strip installed on the eaves. TAMKO Heritage architectural shingles in Rustic Black or Weathered Wood.
  • Cenguard Gold — 25-year workmanship and material warranty. Ice and water shield installed more broadly — at eaves, in valleys, at pitch changes, and around flashed areas. Full range of shingle options.
  • Cenguard Platinum — Lifetime warranty on workmanship and material defects.

Silver fits homeowners who want a solid, code-compliant roof without the extended warranty premium — common situations include homeowners planning to move within 5 to 10 years, rental property owners, or homeowners whose budget is the primary constraint. Our breakdown of what affects the cost of a roof replacement walks through the math on each package so you can weigh the warranty-vs-upfront-cost tradeoff against your own situation.

One important note on Silver with low-pitch facets: even on the Silver package, the low-pitch rear facet on Bonnie's home got full ice and water shield coverage across the entire facet. The Cenguard warranty requires ice and water shield on any roof area under 4/12 pitch, regardless of package tier — so that coverage was added automatically to preserve the warranty. Silver isn't "coverage on eaves only, period" — it's the default coverage, with additional coverage added where the warranty standard requires it.

The Cenvar Solution: 17.3 Squares, TAMKO Heritage Shingles

The full shingle roof replacement on Bonnie's home included:

  • Shingles: TAMKO Heritage Architectural shingles — the Silver-package-spec shingle line, available in Rustic Black or Weathered Wood
  • Underlayment: New synthetic underlayment across the entire deck, with old underlayment removed and replaced (not just overlaid)
  • Ice & Water Shield: Installed across the entire low-pitch rear facet to meet warranty spec, plus standard eave coverage on the rest of the roof
  • Starter, drip edge, ridge cap: Starter strip and drip edge on eaves, product-specific ridge caps
  • Flashing: New counter flashing replaced around the chimney and at masonry walls, step flashing replaced as needed
  • Penetrations: 3 new plumbing boots, 3 new 4-inch Broan bath vents (included for the bathrooms — any additional vent installations would be priced separately)
  • Cleanup: Full debris removal and nail sweep

On the bath vents. Proper bathroom ventilation through the roof is a detail that's easy to overlook but genuinely important. Moisture from showers that doesn't exit the attic through a dedicated vent ends up sitting in the roof deck and insulation, shortening roof lifespan and contributing to attic mildew. Three 4-inch Broan vents on a three-bathroom home is the right spec — one for each bath fan exhaust, terminating through the roof rather than dumping into the attic.

Common Questions from Charlotte County Homeowners

How do I decide between Silver, Gold, and Platinum packages?
Think about three things: how long you plan to stay in the home, how complex your roof is, and your budget. If you're staying long-term and have a roof with lots of valleys, penetrations, or pitch changes, Gold's broader ice-and-water coverage is worth it. If you have a simpler roof and a shorter anticipated stay, Silver is often a smart call. We're happy to walk through the specifics of your roof during the estimate and explain which package saves you money on upfront cost versus long-term coverage.

Will the final price match what's quoted?
Yes — the quote is what you pay, unless unexpected damage is found once the old roof comes off (rotted OSB decking, hidden leaks). If that happens, we stop, show photos, and get approval before any change order. Our proposal spells out the per-sheet and per-linear-foot rates for wood replacement up front, so there are no surprises.

What if something fails after you install the roof?
On the Silver package specifically: you're covered by our 5-year workmanship warranty and a 10-year material defect warranty from the manufacturer. Gold and Platinum extend those terms. Our 100% satisfaction guarantee applies regardless of package — if you're not satisfied with the finished product, we address it.
