Residential Roofing

Commercial Roofing

Business properties have different requirements than homes. R.A. Woodall has the equipment and expertise to handle larger commercial projects with specialized materials and techniques.

Material Expertise That Matters

Not all roofing materials perform equally in our climate. Any reputable roofing company for Newport News residents will know how to weigh the benefits and disadvantages of each solution.

Roof Shingles: Still the most popular choice for residential properties, modern architectural shingles offer improved durability and aesthetic appeal compared to older products. R.A. Woodall is certified by major manufacturers like GAF Materials Corporation, ensuring proper installation and full warranty protection.

Metal Roofing: With increasing popularity due to longevity and energy efficiency, metal roofs require specialized installation techniques. Their team has extensive experience with standing seam, metal tile, and corrugated options.

Roof Tiles: For distinctive homes wanting unique character, concrete and clay tiles provide exceptional durability and visual appeal. Installation requires specialized knowledge to handle the weight and structural requirements.

Flat Roofing Systems: Commercial properties often need EPDM, TPO, or modified bitumen systems. Their commercial division specializes in these applications, including proper drainage solutions essential for flat surfaces.

As members of the National Roofing Contractors Association, they stay updated on the latest materials and installation techniques. This commitment to ongoing education translates to better recommendations and installations for their customers.

Serving All Newport News Neighborhoods

Whether you live in an historic Hilton Village bungalow or a modern Kiln Creek development, R.A. Woodall provides consistent service throughout:

• Riverside

• Hilton Village

• Hidenwood

• Port Warwick

• Kiln Creek

• Menchville

• Downtown/The Yard District

• City Center at Oyster Point

• Lee Hall

• Denbigh

• North Newport News

Each neighborhood presents unique roofing challenges. Older homes in established areas like Hilton Village often require careful attention to historic preservation standards, while newer developments might focus more on energy efficiency and modern materials. What's important is having a contractor who understands these differences.

The Difference Professional Installation Makes

Even the best roofing materials fail when improperly installed. That's why installation quality matters just as much as—sometimes more than—the products themselves.

R.A. Woodall's crews undergo rigorous training and maintain certifications from major manufacturers. This means they follow proper techniques for everything from nail placement to flashing installation. These details might seem minor, but they're exactly what determines whether your roof lasts 10 years or 30.

The difference between amateur and professional installation becomes especially apparent during severe weather. Properly installed roofing withstands wind and rain that would compromise lesser work. When hurricane season approaches, that's when Newport News homeowners truly appreciate having chosen the best roofing contractor.

Warning Signs Your Roof Needs Attention

Many homeowners wait too long before calling a professional. Here are signs that indicate you should contact R.A. Woodall sooner rather than later:

1. Visible shingle damage (curling, cracking, or missing pieces)

2. Granules in gutters (indicates shingle deterioration)

3. Water stains on ceilings or walls

4. Increased energy bills (may indicate heat/cooling loss)

5. Sagging roof deck

6. Daylight visible through attic

7. Moss or algae growth

8. Damaged flashing around vents or chimneys

A free inspection from R.A. Woodall can determine whether these symptoms require immediate attention or can be addressed during routine maintenance.
