Alexandria houses have a pattern, and it is not subtle
Most of Alexandria is everything from 1900s Old Town rowhouses to 1950s brick colonials and 1990s infill. 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.
Northern Virginia is hard on exteriors in a specific way. We do not get one brutal season, we get freeze and thaw over and over from December into March, and water that gets into a seam expands every time it turns to ice. Summer does the other half of the damage: heat cycles a south-facing roof deck every single day.
Exterior services we provide in Alexandria
Roof Replacement in Alexandria, 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 Alexandria, 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 Alexandria, VA
If your Alexandria home still has its original double-hung windows, you already know the symptoms: a cold band along the floor in January, sashes that will not stay up, condensation between the panes. We carry a lifetime workmanship warranty on every window we install.
Entry and Patio Doors in Alexandria, VA
Entry and patio door replacement in Alexandria. 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 Alexandria, VA
Seamless gutters, downspouts and gutter guard systems. Where there is heavy oak and poplar cover, five inch gutters with two downspouts often are not enough, and the overflow ends up against the foundation.
Exterior Trim and Soffit in Alexandria, 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.
Recent exterior work across Northern Virginia
A few finished projects. We have worked out of Woodbridge since 1993, and Alexandria sits well inside the area our crews cover.

HOA and permit paperwork in Alexandria
Most Northern Virginia HOAs require architectural review before you change a color or a material on the outside of your home, and Alexandria is no exception. Submitting late is the single most common reason a project sits waiting. We give you the product data sheets, the manufacturer color names and the specification detail your association asks for, so the application goes in complete the first time.
What separates us from the other trucks on your street
Family owned since 1993 and still run that way. Our installers are our own people, factory trained and certified, which matters because manufacturer warranties on roofing and siding assume the product was installed exactly to spec. Subcontracted labor is where that assumption usually breaks.

Alexandria, VA exterior remodeling questions
Do you repair roofs in Alexandria, 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 Alexandria home has taken real damage and cannot wait, but even then the work is a full replacement rather than a partial fix.
Can you replace the roof and siding at the same time?
Yes, and on a lot of Alexandria 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 Alexandria and you are unsure, have someone look.
What makes Sunshine different from other City of Alexandria contractors?
Two things, mostly. We have been family owned and operating out of Woodbridge since 1993, and the crews who show up at your home work for us rather than being subcontracted that week. That second one matters more than it sounds: manufacturer warranties on roofing and siding assume the product went on exactly to specification, and subcontracted labor is where that assumption tends to break down.
Which Alexandria ZIP codes do you serve?
We cover 22301, 22302, 22304, 22305, 22311, 22312, 22314, 22315 along with the rest of City of Alexandria and the wider Northern Virginia area. We have been working out of Woodbridge since 1993 and our crews run through Alexandria regularly. If you are close to the edge of a ZIP code, call and ask rather than assuming.
