Fairfax City is a wonderful city with plenty to offer anyone who moves here. It’s such a great city in fact, that it was ranked No. 3 on the Forbes list, Top 25 Places to Live Well. It has an excellent public school system, high salary and more sole proprietors per capita than nearly anywhere else per capita in the United States. On the flip side, all is not a bed of roses as far as roof repairs are concerned.
We also get plenty of rain each year, roughly 41.7 inches, which is above the average for the United States. Coupled with the 11.9 inches of snowfall, high temperatures in the summer and low temperatures in the winter, you have a recipe for disaster. It’s not a disaster for the city itself, but certainly a disaster for your roof.
Your roof is very important. Without it, your house would be useless. The rain would fall directly into the home, and your home would become uninhabitable within a few days. Thankfully, you have a roof but when it’s leaky, the water damage has the potential to destroy your home and cost you thousands of dollars. From the day you have your roof built it is under constant threat. Rain, hail, snow, wind and even the sun, slowly beats up your roof. This never-ending war has been fought on roofs for thousands of years and it is a battle that the roof can never win. It can hold off the attack for as long as it can, but eventually, nature will win. The wear and tear on your roof from the elements creates cracks and gaps as the roofing compounds break down and shrink. The granules on your asphalt shingles fall off leaving them less than waterproof. This is why you need to have regular inspections to learn the truth about your roof before things get out of control.
When you contact our roof repair contractors, the first question you are probably going to ask is “how much is this going to cost?” That is a good question, but it comes down to how long you have waited to get a roof repair done, and how bad the problem has become. If your roof is 15 years or older, or more than a third is in bad shape you may need to get a new roof. It is only a matter of time before your roof starts letting in water and the domino effect begins. Water trickling through the interior structure of your home leaves a trail of rot and mold.
If you have a relatively new roof, there can still be wind damage to the shingles if they were incorrectly installed. Those problems may not seem like a big deal, once a shingle cracks or breaks, your roof more vulnerable than ever to the weather. Right now, when the problem is fresh is only time you can expect to have a relatively inexpensive roof repair. To save money and extend the life of your roof, deal with it now.
If you need a new roof, it isn’t a bad thing because it is the primary source of protection for the rest of your house. We’ll find new roofing materials that are best for you. Perhaps a metal roof works best, or maybe you want to get new shingles that help to improve the energy efficiency of your home. No matter what you decide, roof repair is something you have to consider when you own a home in Fairfax City.

Overall, I had a positive experience. I've had a leaking window for 4 years. They checked out the problem and fixed it all in one day. It also rained pretty heavy that day and I had no leaks. I'm hoping it's fixed for good.

Roofer911 is the appropriate name for this company! In addition to responding immediately to homeowners’ distress calls, owner Steve Breismeister has an amazing ability to pinpoint the source of any roof, gutter or siding problem - even when the source is not obvious - and to fix it in a timely manner. Following the massive snowstorms of 2010, Roofer911 quickly detected and repaired ice-dam damage to my home so I did not hesitate to call again last week after discovering a leak. While I suspected I had a new leak in the roof, Roofer911 determined it was due to my upstairs windows not being properly sealed. In ensuring accurate detection, Steve B. surveys your home inside and out with an infrared camera, which clearly highlights areas of moisture, then assigns a Roofer911 crew to the job for immediate repair. His infrared camera speeds up the overall repair process while providing proof of damage to insurance companies in the case of homeowner’s insurance claims. In addition to the peace of mind I experienced in knowing my problem was fixed, I saved time and money in the long run, preventing further problems that would have arisen had this been misdiagnosed and therefore, not addressed.

The work team arrived, basically, on time. They seemed to work hard and smart and completed the repairs quickly and efficiently. Not being a roofing expert, I'll need to see how the repairs hold up over time but they seemed to know what they were doing. They communicated well...fixed a couple of little things I noticed and explained some of their work. They also observed and reported to me that caulking was not applied to a window we had installed this week...something I would have never noticed until it started leaking! They were a pleasure to work with on this project! Everyone else needed several days to simply give me an estimate. they did the estimate almost immediately and were ready to work as soon as I agreed to the estimate!

Roofer911 is a true service-oriented company! After owner Steve Briesmeister and his crew ascessed and repaired damage along the back of my home this past spring due to an ice dam, I wanted to be sure nothing else could cause water to ever enter and damage my home again. WIthin the hour, Steve B. was at my home using his infrared camera to pinpoint potential problem areas. Within 24 hours, company reps had replaced the roof over my patio door, rehung/repitched the guttering and sealed my windows to prevent hard, driving rain from being able ever enter my home. I am confident I will get through this winter and any storms, no matter how severe, with no problem. What a wonderful staff of people! Thank you!

During a late-night rain, we had water POURING into our house, including our master bedroom. Not trickling; pouring. We had had small leaks the prior few rains, but this was a whole new level and just not something we could live with anymore. First thing at work the next morning I asked our Realtor for a roofer recommendation; I called that company and they said the soonest they could come out JUST TO GIVE AN ESTIMATE was in two weeks. Um, hello?? We needed this addressed IMMEDIATELY. So I Googled roofers in our area and found Roofer911. I admit I was skeptical, but they were true to their promises: courteous intake conversation, thorough estimate (with photos) emailed right from my yard, fixed by the time I got home from work. This was a few months ago and I wanted to wait until we had some more heavy rain before I submitted a review, because NO amount of courtesy or efficiency would be worth it if the actual problem was not fixed. But now we've had several heavy rains at all different angles and my husband and I are completely confident in our satisfaction with this job and our recommendation of Roofer911.

After calling 2 companies to get my roof repaired and only getting voicemail (one never returned my call) from them, I did a Google search on Emergency Roof Repair in Fairfax Virginia. The very first site that came up was Roofer911. I was a bit skeptical at first, but decided to call anyway. As the saying goes, "Third time is a charm" well in this case it was a blessing!! Not only did the workers show up quickly, they got the work done before the rain came. Not to mention the fact that the phone was answered by a human and not an answering machine asking you to leave a message for a call back. Within 2 hours of my initial call I received an estimate with pictures and the workers showed up at the house to do the work. Thank you, Thank you, Thank you!!!! If anyone reading this has any doubts, it's your loss!! This is an excellent company!! I will not hesitate to call them again or recommend them to anyone.
