How to Hire a Roofer in Lexington
Finding a reliable roofer in Lexington, VA starts with understanding what drives costs and quality in the Independent City area. We've compiled 7 verified professionals to help you compare.
Key Cost Factors
- Roof size (square footage): Roofers price by the 'square' (100 sq ft). Most Charlottesville-area homes are 15-25 squares, with each square costing $350-$500 for asphalt shingles installed.
- Material type: Architectural shingles run $350-$500 per square installed, while standing-seam metal costs $800-$1,200 per square. Metal is increasingly popular in the Blue Ridge foothills for its 50-year lifespan and wind resistance.
- Pitch/slope: Roofs steeper than 6:12 pitch require harnesses and specialized staging, adding 15-25% to labor costs. Many older homes in Charlottesville's historic districts have steep Victorian-era pitches.
- Number of layers to remove: Virginia building code allows a maximum of two shingle layers. Tearing off an existing layer adds $1,000-$3,000 in labor and disposal fees, including hauling to the Ivy Materials Utilization Center.
- Structural repairs needed: Rotted decking or damaged rafters found during tear-off cost $50-$100 per sheet of plywood and $200+ per rafter. Virginia's humid summers accelerate wood rot, especially on north-facing slopes.
Tips for Hiring
- Get at least 3 written estimates before deciding
- Verify licensing through Virginia DPOR (Department of Professional and Occupational Regulation)
- Ask for proof of insurance and bonding
- Check online reviews on multiple platforms
- Ask for references from recent jobs in the Lexington area
