Is Your Roof The Dinosaur On The Block?

Is your roof the dinosaur on the block? 🦖

Asphalt shingle roofs in Richmond VA tend to last about 18 to 25 years old before they start to wear down, impairing your home's defense against heavy wind and rain. Being proactive and having your roof's condition assessed before you have a leak can save you a lot of headache, interior damage, and money down the line.
