Roof repair in Springfield often begins when limbs from tall trees hit a roof near Lake Accotink Park or off Old Keene Mill Road. Many houses here are split-levels and ramblers from the 1960s and 1970s, and their asphalt shingles are well past their first life. The roofer checks for leaks at valleys, vents and chimney flashing.
Roof replacement follows when age and repeated freezes weaken whole sections. Homes in Rolling Valley and along Backlick Run have shade from dense trees that slows drying after rain, so moss and damp shingles shorten roof life. Putting new asphalt shingles on a Springfield split-level or rambler costs $9,000 to $20,000, depending on roof size, layers and decking repairs.
