Roof repair in Annandale often starts with a leak on a split-level house off Little River Turnpike or Columbia Pike after a summer thunderstorm. Many of these homes went up in the 1950s, 1960s and 1970s, and original or second-layer asphalt shingles are now worn. The roofer checks the roof age and the flashing before anything else.
Roof replacement becomes the better call on houses around Wakefield Park and Mason District Park once shingles crack and lose granules. Humid summers age the shingles, and cold winters bring ice dams that push water under the eaves. On an Annandale split-level, tearing off and replacing asphalt shingles costs $9,000 to $20,000, depending on size, layers and decking repairs.
Wind-driven rain finds weak spots in the older neighborhoods off Annandale Road, usually at chimney flashing and plumbing vents. The roofer looks at each of these and at the gutters on the same visit.
