Why replacement

If your shingles are past their life expectancy, another patch wastes money.

Missing and broken shingles, granule piles in the gutters, moss between shingles, or a roof that is simply old — those are replacement signs. We don’t just inspect your roof from the driveway. We climb on the roof so we can actually see what’s going on. When a roof repair is not enough, we replace the entire system the GAF way — Class A Licensed, GAF Certified Plus #1126786, with transferable warranties that can improve the home’s value and make it more appealing to buyers when it goes on the market.

What to expect

Our roof replacement process

  1. 01

    On-site inspection

    We get on the roof, photograph the conditions, and explain what we see — no high-pressure pitch.

  2. 02

    Clear written estimate

    You get a replacement price that already includes tear-off, underlayment, ice and water shield, and cleanup. Gutters beyond cleaning are optional.

  3. 03

    Full tear-off

    We remove the old roof down to the plywood, check the deck, and replace up to two sheets of rotted wood as part of the quoted job.

  4. 04

    Install the new roof

    Ice and water in eaves and valleys, new underlayment, starter, 5–7 nails per shingle, lifetime pipe boots, ridge vent, and caps.

  5. 05

    Clean like we live here

    Tarps at the perimeter, magnetic nail sweep, gutter cleaning, and a walkthrough before we leave.

Replacement day

How a replacement day actually goes

The site is tarped, the old roof comes off, the new roof goes on, and we leave after a magnetic nail sweep — not a pile of nails in the yard. Most roofs are completely replaced in one day.

    Roof replacement · Lake of the Woods, Locust Grove

    “We love our roof from Ask Zello Roofing! As long time residents of Lake of the Woods (Locust Grove, VA), we were already aware of Ask Zello's stellar reputation. When it came time to replace our roof, we wanted to be thorough, so we solicited quotes from several highly-respected local businesses in the area. Ask Zello Roofing had the best price AND the best warranty...so it was a no-brainer. From initial consultation to the install to cleanup and follow-up, everyone from Ask Zello Roofing was professional and provided top-quality work and customer service. Our roof was completed in just one day, and other than our new, beautiful roof, you would have never known a work crew had been there. We couldn't be more satisfied.”

    Roof replacement · Lake of the Woods, Locust Grove

    “I live in Lake of the Woods and needed to get my roof replaced and got several estimates from different roofers that were recommended to me. Although Ask Luke Zello was not the least expensive, they gave me a comprehensive explanation of what they were offering so I knew exactly what I was getting. They explained things thoroughly. In addition the product they offered was rated highly via the research I did online. They showed up on time and when they finished you would have never known they were there other than the new roof. They even checked to make sure no nails were left in the driveway several times.”

Straight answers

Do I need a roof replacement or a repair?

Repeated leaks, curling or cracked shingles, moss between the tabs, or a roof that is past its life usually point to replacement. We inspect on site and tell you straight. We do not sell a full roof when a repair will actually solve it.

When a repair is enough

What is included in a roof replacement price?

Full tear-off down to the plywood, inspection of the deck, replacement of up to two sheets of rotted plywood, new underlayment, ice and water shield in eaves and valleys, starter shingles on rakes and eaves, architectural shingles with 5–7 nails each, ridge vents and caps, lifetime pipe-vent boots, magnetic nail sweep, and complete cleanup. Gutter cleaning is included. New gutters and gutter guards are not automatic — they are quoted only if you want them.

What's included in a replacement

How much does a roof replacement cost?

There is no honest one-price-fits-all number. Pitch, layers, access, flashing, and decking change the job. We inspect on the roof and give a written replacement price that includes full tear-off, underlayment, ice and water shield, architectural shingles with 5–7 nails each, lifetime pipe boots, magnetic sweep, and gutter cleaning. Up to two sheets of rotted plywood are in the quoted price. New gutters are quoted only if you want them.

How we price a replacement

How long does a roof replacement take?

Most asphalt-shingle replacements are finished in one day. The site is tarped, the old roof comes off, the new roof goes on, and we leave with a magnetic sweep. Weather or a large or complex roof can add a day.

How a replacement day goes

Do you tear off the old roof or go over it?

Full tear-off down to the plywood. We inspect the deck and replace up to two sheets of rotted plywood in the quoted price. We do not layover a worn roof.
