Slate, Cedar Shake and Tile Roofing in Leesburg, VA

Specialty roofing for historic homes and properties where the roof is part of the architecture.

Specialty Roofing in Leesburg, VA

Slate, Cedar Shake And Tile, Installed Properly

Leesburg has homes where an asphalt roof would be wrong. Historic district properties, estate homes and period reproductions carry roofs that are part of the architecture, and replacing one with the cheapest available system damages the house.

Specialty materials need installers who have worked with them. The fastening, the underlayment and the flashing details are all different, and mistakes show up as leaks years later.

Which Specialty Material Suits Your Home

And When A Synthetic Alternative Is The Better Call

Genuine slate and cedar are not always practical. Weight, structural capacity and budget all come into it, and modern synthetic alternatives can carry the visual character at a fraction of the cost. We will tell you which situation you are in at the estimate.

Slate Roofing

Natural slate for historic and estate properties in Leesburg. Long service life, significant weight, and structural requirements that need checking before anything is ordered.

Cedar Shake Roofing

Cedar shake and shingle roofs, including maintenance and selective replacement on existing cedar. Character that no asphalt product reproduces, with maintenance requirements to match.

Tile Roofing

Concrete and clay tile systems, and the flashing and underlayment detailing that determines whether a tile roof performs or leaks.

Synthetic Alternatives

Slate-look and shake-look synthetics for homes where the genuine material is not practical structurally or financially, but the visual character is required.

Specialty Roofing Questions

Straight Answers, No Fluff

If your question is not here, call and ask.

Can my house carry a slate roof?

Slate is heavy, so the structure has to be assessed first. If the house was originally slated it usually can. If not, a synthetic alternative is often the answer.

How is cedar shake maintained?

Cedar needs periodic cleaning and treatment, and it needs airflow underneath. Neglected cedar fails early, which is where most cedar complaints come from.

Is synthetic slate worth considering?

Often, yes. It carries the visual character at a fraction of the weight and cost, which matters on homes that were never structurally built for genuine slate.

Do you work on Leesburg historic district homes?

Yes. Material and profile selection matters for approval, and it is worth talking through before you commit to anything.
