Reston Premium Roofing provides professional wind damage repair in Reston, VA for residential and commercial properties across western Fairfax County. The 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.
Which means the code floor for a Reston roof is a low bar, and what decides whether tabs leave a rake in a summer line of storms is almost never the classification on the wrapper. It is the fastening. R905.2.6 requires no fewer than four fasteners per strip shingle. Four is a floor written for the whole country, not a recommendation for an exposed elevation on a hill.
So we set six, in the manufacturer's nail zone, driven flush rather than overdriven or shot high, and we photograph the pattern on each slope before the next course covers it. That is the one upgrade on this site nobody can verify afterwards, including us, which is precisely why the photographs exist and why they come to you whether you ask or not.
The rake is where failures start and the rake is where corners get cut. Virginia struck the model code's drip edge section from its own amendments, so nobody here is obliged to fit one, and plenty of quotes accordingly do not. Ours goes beneath the underlayment along the rake and above it along the eave, with a starter run on both, the adhesive band sitting right out at the edge where it earns something.
Repairs get the same discipline. We establish why the shingles lifted before replacing them, because nails driven above the nail line or a rake left with no starter will produce an identical phone call after the next system moves through. Ridge cap goes back with a fastener long enough to reach the deck, not whatever was left in the pouch.
Between November and March we hand-seal the first courses, since the factory adhesive strip needs sun it does not get in a Virginia winter. And where a whole elevation has gone on a roof already in its second decade, we will tell you replacing one slope is money spent twice, and that repairing it through the season while we quote the rest properly is the cheaper honest answer.
Our licensed and insured team brings the right materials and equipment to every job — a self-adhering ice barrier carried inside the exterior wall line, double underlayment on connector slopes under four in twelve, six fasteners per shingle against a code floor of four, twenty-four-inch open valley metal in twenty-six gauge, a cricket framed on the ridge side of a wide stack, kick-out flashing where an eave runs into a vertical sidewall — and backs the work with a written workmanship warranty. We serve Reston and nearby communities including Herndon, Vienna, Oakton, McLean.

Materials, equipment and how we do wind damage repair
The difference between wind damage repair that lasts and wind damage repair that gets redone in three years is almost always preparation and materials, not the finish you see on day one. We work with a self-adhering ice barrier carried inside the exterior wall line, double underlayment on connector slopes under four in twelve, six fasteners per shingle against a code floor of four, twenty-four-inch open valley metal in twenty-six gauge, spec them to the job instead of to the invoice, and write the material grades into the free estimate so you know exactly what you are buying.
Every Reston job runs the same way: site walk and measurements, written scope and fixed price, protection of the surrounding area, then the work itself with a daily clean-up. Years of roofing work in western Fairfax County means we have already met whatever your property is going to throw at us — awkward access, older construction, an HOA with opinions.

Why Reston Chooses Reston Premium Roofing
- ✓Every quote runs in two columns. The left is what the 2021 Virginia Residential Code obliges anyone to do on your roof. The right is what we install instead, priced separately, so you can strike a line and pay less.
- ✓Fairfax County is not allowed to ask for more. Section 36-98 of the Code of Virginia makes the statewide code supersede county building regulations and expressly overrides local ordinances requiring particular materials or finishes on a single-family house.
- ✓The one exception is Table R301.2, which the code hands to the locality to fill in. Fairfax designated an ice barrier as required and the City of Alexandria did not, so we install to the county your house is actually in.
- ✓Four fasteners per strip shingle is the floor under R905.2.6. We set six, in the manufacturer's nail zone, and photograph the pattern on each slope before the next course hides it.
