Roofing in Roanoke, Virginia
Every roof we replace is put on by our own employees. We don't hire subcontractors, so the people who walk your roof are the people who answer for it.

Who is on your roof
Rafferty Roofing is employee-owned. The people who tear off your roof hold a stake in the company, and the time beside each name is how long they have been on the crew.

Our own crews, or subcontractors
Many roofing companies sell the job and hire a separate crew to do it. We don't. Here is what that changes for you.

What we do
Asphalt shingle roofs on houses and townhomes are most of the work. Other materials are quoted after a visit.

Tear-off to the deck, new underlayment, flashing and shingles, and a clean yard.
How a replacement goes
Flashing, vent boots, valleys and loose shingles. We repair what can be repaired.
How we find a leak
Gutters, downspouts and fascia boards, done with a roof or on their own.
All services
A look from the ground, the roof and the attic, with photos and a written report.
What the visit coversHow we work
New hires spend their first weeks beside a crew lead, not alone on a roof. Harnesses go on before anyone climbs, ladders are set and tied, and the crew you meet on the first morning is the crew that finishes.
Harness and rope on any roof that needs one
Ladders set at the right angle and tied off
A magnet sweep of the yard and driveway before the crew leaves

On paper
These are the records behind the words. The numbers are in the footer of every page.
Your estimate
We ask how old the roof is, what it is made of and whether it is leaking now.
Someone on our payroll walks the outside, goes up on the roof and looks in the attic if there is a way in.
Photos, what we found, repair or replace, and the work line by line. Nothing to sign that day.
Compare it with other estimates. Call the estimator with questions. There is no clock on it.
Neighbors
“The same four people were on my roof Monday through Wednesday. When I asked who had done the flashing, the crew lead answered by name.”
“They covered the shrubs, swept the driveway with a magnet each evening and walked me around the yard before they left.”
“We asked for a schedule building by building. The estimate was itemized, and each building was finished on the day listed.”
Sample reviews.
Where we work
From Salem and Vinton to Daleville, and out to Rocky Mount and Blacksburg.

We don't roof east of Bedford or west of Christiansburg.
Before you call
No. Every person on your roof is our employee. If a job needs a trade we don't employ, such as chimney masonry, we tell you before you sign and name who does it.
Most houses take one to three days. Steep, complicated or large roofs take longer, and a wet forecast can move the start.
Almost always, for a full replacement. We pull it, and the fee is a line on your estimate.
Deposit and payment terms are written on your estimate, before you sign anything.
Tell us about the roof. Someone from our office calls to set a day for the visit. There is no charge for the visit or the written estimate, and nothing to sign that day.
