Reston Premium Roofing provides professional roof inspections & written reports in Reston, VA for residential and commercial properties across western Fairfax County. Fairfax County's final inspection record proves one thing about your roof: that it met the state minimum on the day it was signed. That is worth having and it is not a quality report. Ours is written as the gap between that floor and what is actually up there now.
So the report has two halves and you get both. The first is condition, done properly: sheathing sounded from above, the eave course checked for fastener placement, valleys and sidewall terminations lifted wherever we need sight of what sits behind, every boot handled individually, and the attic read from below for daylight, staining, flattened insulation and corroded nail points.
The second half is specification, and it is the half nobody else sends you. Was an eave membrane ever installed, or does the roof stop at the single layer of underlayment the floor allows. Is the valley metal twenty-four inches wide as R905.2.8.2 asks for an open valley. Does the chimney carry the cricket R903.2.2 requires above thirty inches. Is there a kick-out at every eave-to-sidewall junction.
Those are answerable questions with photographs attached, and they decide whether you are looking at fifteen more years or five. A roof built to the floor by a competent crew can be genuinely sound and still be missing the three details that will eventually cost you a ceiling. Naming them is more useful than a grade out of ten, so we do not issue grades or scores.
Sellers get the same document with the timing moved. Knowing in March what a buyer's inspector will write in June is worth the fee on its own, because those repairs cost a third as much when they are not being negotiated against a closing date. Buyers get it from the other direction, with a plain estimate of remaining life and what it would take to get there.
We do not use urgency language and we do not sell from the report. If the roof has eight sound years in it, that is the number printed, next to the pair of boots that clearly will not reach it. The unedited images travel with the report, which means anyone giving you a second opinion is reading evidence rather than our description of it.
Our licensed and insured team brings the right materials and equipment to every job — a self-adhering ice barrier carried inside the exterior wall line, double underlayment on connector slopes under four in twelve, six fasteners per shingle against a code floor of four, twenty-four-inch open valley metal in twenty-six gauge, a cricket framed on the ridge side of a wide stack, kick-out flashing where an eave runs into a vertical sidewall — and backs the work with a written workmanship warranty. We serve Reston and nearby communities including Herndon, Vienna, Oakton, McLean.

Materials, equipment and how we do roof inspections & written reports
The difference between roof inspections & written reports that lasts and roof inspections & written reports that gets redone in three years is almost always preparation and materials, not the finish you see on day one. We work with a self-adhering ice barrier carried inside the exterior wall line, double underlayment on connector slopes under four in twelve, six fasteners per shingle against a code floor of four, twenty-four-inch open valley metal in twenty-six gauge, spec them to the job instead of to the invoice, and write the material grades into the free estimate so you know exactly what you are buying.
Every Reston job runs the same way: site walk and measurements, written scope and fixed price, protection of the surrounding area, then the work itself with a daily clean-up. Years of roofing work in western Fairfax County means we have already met whatever your property is going to throw at us — awkward access, older construction, an HOA with opinions.

Why Reston Chooses Reston Premium Roofing
- ✓Every quote runs in two columns. The left is what the 2021 Virginia Residential Code obliges anyone to do on your roof. The right is what we install instead, priced separately, so you can strike a line and pay less.
- ✓Fairfax County is not allowed to ask for more. Section 36-98 of the Code of Virginia makes the statewide code supersede county building regulations and expressly overrides local ordinances requiring particular materials or finishes on a single-family house.
- ✓The one exception is Table R301.2, which the code hands to the locality to fill in. Fairfax designated an ice barrier as required and the City of Alexandria did not, so we install to the county your house is actually in.
- ✓Four fasteners per strip shingle is the floor under R905.2.6. We set six, in the manufacturer's nail zone, and photograph the pattern on each slope before the next course hides it.

If a contractor cannot tell you which standard a detail comes from, that is worth asking about before you sign.
