What we write about, and why

Every post here answers a question Reston property owners actually ask before they hire anyone — what work costs, which materials are worth the upcharge, how long a job really takes, and the shortcuts that look fine for two years and then do not.

The writing comes from the same people doing the work in Reston, VA and western Fairfax County, which is why the numbers are specific and the advice sometimes tells you not to spend money.

Skip the articles and go to the page for what you need — each one covers pricing, scope and how to start:

  • Roof Replacement in RestonA replacement here has a legal floor and a useful one, and they are not the same roof. R908.3 of the Virginia Residential Code defines replacement as stripping every existing layer down to the deck.
  • Roof Leak Repair in RestonAlmost nothing about a roof repair is inspected by anyone. No permit, no inspector, no final record, and no state minimum that reaches a single pipe boot.
  • Storm Damage Restoration in RestonThe pressure after a storm is always speed, and speed is what removes every check from the job. Making a building watertight needs no permit and no license.
  • Hail Damage Assessment & Repair in RestonStart with the purchase decision rather than the claim, because that is the one costing you money either way. Shingles carrying a UL 2218 Class 4 impact result are a genuine product, no Virginia code calls for them, and no county here is permitted to.
  • Wind Damage Repair in RestonThe wind rating on a shingle bundle is a compliance number, not a promise about your rake. R905.2.4.1 asks shingles be tested to ASTM D7158 and meet the class in Table R905.2.4.1 for the design wind speed, and here that speed is modest.
