Roof repair in Burke often starts with a water stain or missing shingles after a summer thunderstorm. Burke Centre, Rolling Valley and the streets off Old Keene Mill Road are full of mature oaks and maples that drop limbs on roofs. Humid summers wear asphalt shingles, and cold nights bring ice dams that push water under flashing.
Roof replacement follows when repairs keep coming back. Many Burke houses date from the 1970s and 1980s, and split-level and two-story designs with several roof planes have many valleys and chimney joints that can leak. For those houses, new asphalt shingles cost $9,000 to $20,000, depending on roof size, layers and decking repairs.
Gutters fill fast near Burke Lake Park and along Pohick Creek, where oak and maple leaves collect. Clogged gutters send water back under the shingle edge. The roofer checks valleys, vents and chimney flashing at the same visit.
