Are you looking for a new roof in Sterling, VA but don’t know where to start? Luckily, you found this project highlight of a recent shingle roof we installed in Sterling, VA.
Recently, the Top Dog Home Pro team was called to a home in Sterling, VA, near Countryside, to assess some roof damage. After meeting with the homeowner and discussing the damage, the best course of action was to remove the old roofing materials (both layers; more on that later) and install new architectural asphalt shingles.
Below are the highlights from this project, along with a customer testimony and a write-up of the services we were able to provide!

New Asphalt Shingle Roof in Sterling:
Deciding whether to repair or replace your roof often requires the expertise of a Sterling roofer. However, some very obvious signs that a roof needs to be replaced can be easily spotted.
The most common roof replacement needs include:
- Missing shingles
- Two layers of older roofing materials (three-tab shingles)
- Shingles over the age of 15 reaching max life expectancy
- Pipe vent issues and broken pipe collars
- Flashing leaks
- Roof leaks
- Rotting roof decking
As you can see below, missing shingles and two layers of shingles were present with this Sterling roof, along with pipe vent issues, roof decking rotting, and old shingles:
After conducting a roof inspection, we determined that a completely new roof should be installed based on the age of the shingles, the current damage to the roof, and the fact that it had two layers (an older roofing method). During the installation process, we discovered some areas where the decking needed to be replaced.
Based on our inspection, the wind damage allowed us to help the homeowner file a homeowner’s insurance claim that helped pay for her new roof. Below are some of the highlights and photos from this project!
New Roof Installation:
The first step to installing a new roofing system is to remove the old roofing materials down to the plywood of the roof. In the case of this home, an outdated method of installing new shingles on top of old shingles (a second layer) meant removing two layers of shingles. This was a process that roofers used to use.
After removing the layers (called a roof overlay), we inspected the condition of the plywood and the areas around the vents to ensure that all roof decking was in great shape. In some areas, replacing the rotten decking was necessary before installing the roofing underlayment.
Once the team was able to install the underlayment, the installation of the shingles came next, and the process was pretty quick from there. Our experienced and professional roofing crew installed new CertainTeed Landmark Pro “Silver Birch” shingles. We exclusively use CertainTeed shingles because they are a heavier, more durable shingle than it’s GAF competitors. As you can see in the photo below, the new roof turned out great!
Finding a roofing company in Sterling, VA:
Sterling, VA was once considered the “Big City” of Loudon County in the 1990’s. While most of Loudon’s growth has taken place since 2000, Sterling saw many homes get built in the 1980s and 1990s. As a home approaches 20 years old, the original roof will often start to show it’s age, but also stop performing so well.
Old, aging roofs often lead to roof leaks and other issues requiring a roof replacement. However, finding a roofing company in Sterling, VA can be challenging in that there are so many, who should you use?
Here at Top Dog Home Pro, we always recommend homeowners consider the following when hiring a roofer in Sterling:
- What do their reviews tell you?
- Are they licensed and insured?
- How many roofs have they replaced and can they show you their work?
- How professional is their communication and sales process?
- Can they help you work with your homeowner’s insurance?
Once you can answer all those questions, you will know what you have when you select a Sterling roofing company to help you with your roof repairs or new roof!
