The Best Gift Of The Year

Katelyn Lewis • December 28, 2022

Have you seen a more perfect gift?!

One of our clients shared this photo with us of her daughter opening a present on Christmas Day – we appreciate the reuse of our gift box to bring more cheer this holiday season!


We replaced this client’s roof in March with Tamko Titan “Thunderstorm Gray” shingles. Here’s what she had to say about our work:


“Mark and Caleb were very pleasant, courteous, and professional! They were always in touch with us and made sure they answered all of our questions. Most importantly, they were easy to get in touch with and returned our calls!! Roofers did an excellent job, showed up early, worked all day, finished up the next. They tarped around my plantings and did a great job of cleaning up the entire area.

Very happy with my new roof and highly recommend.”


Give us a call at 804-258-6300 to discuss your home exterior issues, needs, or replacement projects so you can relax as you ring in the new year. We’d love to help.

Is It Better To Repair Or Replace Your Home's Siding?

If your siding is 20+ years old, it’s worth getting a pro to assess it, even if it looks okay. Hidden issues can lurk beneath the surface.

How Much Does A Roof Replacement Cost?

By Katelyn Lewis • June 4, 2025
Always get detailed, apples-to-apples quotes so you know exactly what’s included (tear-off, underlayment, warranties, disposal, etc.) to avoid surprise costs or a roof replacement that’s not up to state code requirements.
