We price Arlington by your ZIP, not by your county
There is no single Arlington County number, so we stopped printing one. Arlington prices off its own ZIP — the drive, the permit office, the age and pitch of the housing stock, and what roofs of your size have actually sold for on your streets. Two homes the same size in the same county land thousands apart, and a page that quotes them the same figure is guessing at one of them.
So we measure first. The inspection is free, the 20+ photo report is yours to keep whether or not you hire us, and the number you get back is a written line-item estimate for your roof in your ZIP — not a range copied off a web page.
A roof measured at 24 squares that turns out to have two layers and rotten sheathing is a different job from the one any published range describes — which is exactly why we do not publish one. The only accurate figure is a written line-item estimate after a free measured inspection, and you can compare it against anyone. Book the free Arlington inspection →
From inspection to a roof that's done right
- 1Free 24-hour inspection & photo report. We document every slope, every penetration and every sign of hail or wind damage on your Arlington roof. The report is yours to keep either way.
- 2A written line-item estimate. Materials, tear-off, decking, flashing, ventilation, permit and warranty, each on its own line. Not a single number on the back of a card.
- 3Permit pulled, date scheduled. We pull the Arlington permit and the number goes on your contract. Most single-family roofs install in one day.
- 4Final walk and warranty registered. Magnet sweep of the property, photos of the finished work, GAF limited lifetime material coverage registered in your name, and our workmanship warranty stated in the contract you signed.
What we actually find on Arlington roofs
Arlington is largely a pre-war and immediately post-war county: brick colonials, Cape Cods and bungalows through Ashton Heights, Lyon Park, Arlington Forest and Waverly Hills, with a second layer of pop-tops and whole-house rebuilds dropped onto the same lots since about 2000.
A 1940s Arlington Cape Cod and the pop-top built on top of it are two different roofs with one gutter system, and the join between the old structure and the addition is where these houses leak. It is a flashing and transition detail, not a shingle failure, and it does not show up in a photograph taken from the street.
The county's mature tree canopy is the reason people pay to live here and the reason north-facing slopes here age faster than their south-facing half. Shade holds moisture, moss follows the moisture, and limbs put debris in valleys that the next storm turns into a dam.
Slate is still on the ground in Arlington in numbers, and a slate roof that has been patched with asphalt is a specific and expensive problem: the patch tells you the last contractor either could not source slate or did not say they could not. Knowing which before the estimate changes the number.
Who signs off on a roof in Arlington
Roofing permits for Arlington are handled by Arlington County's Permit Arlington Center. Their permit line is 703-228-3800. We pull the permit as part of the job — you are not meant to be chasing this — but it is your house, so you should know who is actually deciding.
Worth knowing: Arlington runs its own permit centre rather than sharing one with a neighbouring jurisdiction, and its published staffed hours are Monday to Friday, 8 a.m. to 4:30 p.m. — read from arlingtonva.us on 2026-09-01. Whether a particular re-roof needs a permit depends on scope and is a question for that line, not for a roofer's website.
Permit rules change and depend on the scope of the work — replacing shingles, replacing decking and rebuilding a roof structure are not treated the same. Confirm anything that matters to you with the office above rather than with any contractor's website, including ours.

What does a new roof cost in Arlington?
We price Arlington by ZIP rather than publishing one Arlington County figure, because there is no single figure that is true across a county — the drive, the permit office, the age and pitch of the housing stock and what roofs of your size have actually sold for on your streets all move it. The real number comes off a measurement and an inspection: pitch, layers to tear off, deck condition found once the shingles are up, chimney and skylight flashing, and how much of the roof a crew can reach from the ground. The inspection is free and the photo report is yours to keep.
Who pulls the roofing permit in Arlington?
Roof replacement in Arlington is permitted through Arlington County's Permit Arlington Center (703-228-3800). We pull it, we schedule the inspection, and the permit number is on your contract — you should never be asked to pull your own roofing permit.
Is the Arlington roof inspection really free?
Yes. The inspection and the 20+ photo damage report are free and yours to keep whether or not you hire us. No inspection fee, no consultation invoice, and if your roof does not need work we will tell you that.
Will insurance cover my Arlington roof?
If your roof has storm, hail or wind damage, your policy may cover a replacement — on an approved claim your deductible is typically your out-of-pocket cost. We document the damage, provide a line-item estimate, and meet your adjuster on-site. We are a roofing contractor, not a public adjuster, and we do not negotiate your claim for you.
