ROOF REPLACEMENT · MOUNT VERNON, VA
Mount Vernon, VA Roof Replacement & Roofing Contractor
Roof replacement for Mount Vernon, Fort Hunt and nearby post-war neighborhoods, by a GAF Master Elite contractor with 33+ years in business.
What we actually find on Mount Vernon roofs
Mount Vernon-area homes date mostly from the late 1940s through the 1970s, and many are on a second or third roof. Mature trees here shade roofs and fill valleys and gutters.
Nearby Hollin Hills has flat and low-slope mid-century roofs, which take different materials than a pitched shingle roof. We serve 22309, 22308, 22307 and 22306.
Roofing for Mount Vernon homes
On pitched roofs, we install GAF architectural shingles over new underlayment, with ice and water shield at the eaves, in the valleys and around penetrations. In Hollin Hills, the county guidelines favor materials compatible with the original low-slope roofs and advise against slate, tile, shake, standing seam or highly variegated shingles on visible slopes.

What a Mount Vernon roof replacement actually costs
We price a roof after measuring it. A small rambler roof costs much less than a two-story colonial, and extra layers, decking and the shingle line add to it.
- Roof size and pitch. A steep roof is slower and needs staging
- How many layers have to come off and go in the dumpster
- Decking condition, which nobody knows until tear-off
- Penetrations and planes such as dormers, skylights, chimneys and valleys
- Flashing and ventilation work the roof actually needs
- Which shingle you choose, from 3-tab up to designer
We measure your Mount Vernon home and put a firm written price in front of you. If we discover bad decking after tear-off, you see it and you know the per-sheet price before we touch it. Financing is available with approved credit if you would rather spread it out.
Mount Vernon roofing questions, answered
How much does a roof replacement cost in Mount Vernon, VA?
It depends on the roof’s size and pitch, how many layers come off, the decking and the shingle line. We measure and give you a firm written price.
Do I need a permit to replace my roof in Mount Vernon or Fort Hunt?
Usually not. Fairfax County lists shingle replacement as not needing a permit for homes, along with a small amount of roof plywood. Replacing more plywood than that, or any framing work, needs a permit.
What roofing is allowed in the Hollin Hills historic district?
The county guidelines are recommendations. They favor materials that suit the original low-slope roofs, keep the roof shape and thin fascia, and advise against slate, tile, shake, standing seam or highly variegated shingles on visible slopes. A change of roofing material also goes to the Civic Association’s Design Review Committee under the deed covenants. We supply the product data sheets and manufacturer color names. We work closely with the committees, we have a great relationship with plenty of HOAs in the area, and it has never been a problem for us.
Does the City of Alexandria review roofs in Mount Vernon?
No. These neighborhoods are unincorporated Fairfax County with Alexandria mailing addresses, so Fairfax County rules apply.
