Roofing & Exterior Remodeling in Franconia, VA
Franconia’s exterior remodeling contractor for roofing, siding, replacement windows, doors and gutters. Serving Northern Virginia since 1993 with our own installation crews.
What thirty years in Fairfax County taught us about Franconia
Most of Franconia is 1960s through 1980s colonials and split-levels with original aluminum and vinyl. That matters more than people expect. Houses built in the same stretch of years were built with the same materials by the same handful of builders, which means they tend to fail on roughly the same schedule. When one street starts replacing roofs, the street behind it is usually two or three years out.
Storms here are rarely dramatic enough to be obvious. A summer line of thunderstorms with a hard gust front will crease shingles without tearing any off, and creased shingles look fine from the driveway and leak within a couple of seasons. Nobody sees the damage until they are on the roof.
Exterior services we provide in Franconia
Roof Replacement in Franconia, VA
We are a GAF Master Elite contractor, which is roughly the top two percent of roofers nationally, and we install complete systems rather than shingles alone. That means underlayment, ice and water shield in the valleys and along the eaves, new pipe boots, proper intake and exhaust ventilation and correctly sized flashing.
Siding Replacement in Franconia, VA
Full siding replacement rather than patch-and-match. We are a James Hardie Elite Preferred contractor, and ColorPlus finishes carry a 15-year finish warranty while the named Hardie products carry 30 years on the board itself.
Replacement Windows in Franconia, VA
Replacement windows sized and installed for the opening you actually have, not the one a catalog assumes. Older homes here are rarely square, and a window forced into an out-of-square opening will bind within a year.
Entry and Patio Doors in Franconia, VA
Entry and patio door replacement in Franconia. Most failed doors we pull were never the problem themselves. The frame moved, the threshold was never flashed, and the door has been fighting the opening ever since.
Gutters and Gutter Guards in Franconia, VA
Seamless aluminum gutters formed on site, plus guards that actually keep the tree canopy in Franconia out of the trough. Undersized or clogged gutters are behind a surprising share of the fascia and soffit rot we replace.
Exterior Trim and Soffit in Franconia, VA
Exterior trim replacement in low-maintenance PVC and composite. PVC moves more than wood with temperature, so it has to be fastened for that. Nail it like a pine board in April and it will oil-can by July.

Neighborhoods and communities in Franconia
We have worked in and around Manchester Lakes, Wilton Woods, Rose Hill and Franconia. If your community is not on the list, it does not mean we do not serve it. Call and ask.
If your Franconia community has architectural review
A lot of Franconia sits inside communities with an architectural review committee, and those committees generally want to see the exact product, the exact color and sometimes a sample before they approve anything. We put that package together for you. It is not extra, it is just part of how we run a job in Fairfax County.
Why we are worth a call in Franconia
We have been doing this out of Woodbridge since 1993, which in this trade is unusual on its own. The crews who show up at your Franconia home work for us. They are factory trained and certified, they are not a subcontracted crew we met that morning, and that is the single biggest reason our installs hold up.

Franconia, VA exterior remodeling questions
Do you repair roofs in Franconia, or only replace them?
We replace. Sunshine Contracting is a full-replacement contractor, not a patch-and-repair outfit, and that is deliberate rather than a limitation. Patching one section of an aging roof puts new material against old material that is already at the end of its life, and the seam between them becomes the next leak. We do handle emergency roof replacement when a Franconia home has taken real damage and cannot wait, but even then the work is a full replacement rather than a partial fix.
Do I need HOA approval for exterior work in Franconia?
If your community has an architectural review committee, almost certainly yes, and it applies to color and material changes as well as full replacements. We provide the product data sheets, manufacturer color names and specifications your association needs. It is worth starting that application early, because committee meeting schedules, not contractors, are usually what sets your start date.
Can you replace the roof and siding at the same time?
Yes, and on a lot of Franconia homes it makes sense to. Sequencing matters when both are being done: the roof, the trim and the siding all meet at the same details, and doing them together means those transitions get flashed properly instead of being worked around. It also means one set of crews, one schedule and one set of HOA paperwork.
How do I know if a storm actually damaged my roof?
Storm damage around here is rarely a hole you can see from the driveway. The tell is usually at eye level: dented gutter aprons, dinged downspouts, spatter marks on the deck rails, granules collecting at the bottom of the downspout. Creased shingles look completely normal from the ground and leak two or three seasons later. If a storm has gone through Franconia and you are unsure, have someone look.
Which Franconia ZIP codes do you serve?
We cover 22310 along with the rest of Fairfax County and the wider Northern Virginia area. We have been working out of Woodbridge since 1993 and our crews run through Franconia regularly. If you are close to the edge of a ZIP code, call and ask rather than assuming.
