Why exteriors wear out the way they do in Arlington
Drive Arlington and you are mostly looking at 1920s bungalows and 1940s capes, many with second stories added later. Original materials on those homes were not bad, they were just specified to a builder’s budget, and the clock on them ran out a while ago. Very little of what we replace here failed early. Most of it simply finished.
The climate here punishes seams. It is not the cold and it is not the heat, it is the number of times a year we cross freezing and back. Every crossing works water a little deeper into a nail hole, a lap joint or an end cut. That is why the north and west elevations almost always look worse than the front of the house.
Exterior services we provide in Arlington
Roof Replacement in Arlington, 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 Arlington, VA
James Hardie fiber cement and Alside insulated vinyl, installed by our own crews. On Arlington homes we most often pull original hardboard or builder-grade vinyl and find the real story underneath, at the corners and under the windows where water has been getting in.
Replacement Windows in Arlington, 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 Arlington, VA
Fiberglass and steel entry doors, sliding and swinging patio doors, all installed with a lifetime workmanship warranty. A door is the one exterior component you touch every day, so a bad install announces itself immediately.
Gutters and Gutter Guards in Arlington, VA
Seamless aluminum gutters formed on site, plus guards that actually keep the tree canopy in Arlington 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 Arlington, 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.

HOA approval in Arlington: what to expect
Architectural review is a normal part of exterior work in Arlington County. Committees want specifics: manufacturer, product line, color name, sometimes a physical sample. We hand you all of it up front. We also pull whatever permits your jurisdiction requires for the work, so that piece is not on you either.

Arlington, VA exterior remodeling questions
Do you repair roofs in Arlington, 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 an Arlington home has taken real damage and cannot wait, but even then the work is a full replacement rather than a partial fix.
How long does a roof replacement take on an Arlington home?
Most single-family homes here come off and go back on inside one to two days, weather permitting. Larger homes in Arlington, homes with steep pitches, multiple dormers or several roof planes take longer. We tell you the realistic number before you sign rather than the optimistic one, and we do not start a tear-off we cannot dry in the same day.
What does a roof replacement cost in Arlington?
Anyone who quotes you a number over the phone is guessing. Price comes down to square footage, pitch, how many layers have to come off, whether the decking underneath is sound, how much flashing and ventilation work is involved, and which shingle you choose. We measure your Arlington home, tell you what we find, and give you a firm written price. No pressure to sign at the table.
Do I need HOA approval to replace a roof or siding in Arlington?
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.
Which Arlington ZIP codes do you serve for roofing and siding?
We cover 22201, 22202, 22203, 22204, 22205, 22206, 22207, 22209, 22213 along with the rest of Arlington County and the wider Northern Virginia area. We have been working out of Woodbridge since 1993 and our crews run through Arlington regularly. If you are close to the edge of a ZIP code, call and ask rather than assuming.
