Reston Premium Roofing provides professional tile roofing in Reston, VA for residential and commercial properties across western Fairfax County. Tile is uncommon in this part of Fairfax County and an honest roofer leads with that rather than a gallery. Where it exists it is usually concrete tile on a nineteen-nineties or later house at the larger end of the market, and essentially never original to a Reston cluster.
Where tile is already on a house, the tile itself is seldom what has failed. Concrete outlives everything below it, so what gives way is the membrane beneath, the metal in the valleys, or the bedding along hips and ridges. Lifting the tile off in stacks, laying new membrane and setting it back is the correct repair, and it costs a fraction of a replacement.
We follow the batten spacing and fastening schedule that the tile maker publishes, run a self-adhering sheet over the whole deck instead of felt, fit new valley metal, and set hips and ridges onto a nailer with weatherblocking rather than packing mortar into the joints. Cracked pieces come from matched stock, since a wrong profile is permanent.
Adding tile to a house that never had it raises two expensive questions. Weight comes first. Concrete runs several times heavier than asphalt, and a truss drawn in 1972 around a shingle roof will not quietly take the extra. That belongs with an engineer, and we will not price around it or hope. It is also worth hearing before anybody quotes you a whole new roof on the strength of a few wet patches.
The reroofing rules cut the other way too. R908.3.1.1 bars a recover wherever the covering already up there is slate, or any tile in clay, cement or asbestos-cement. So a tile roof can never be shingled over and can never be tiled over. Everything comes off first, without exception, and that removal earns its own line on the quote rather than hiding inside a lump sum where nobody can compare it.
Where a house was built with tile, we simply keep it alive and that is usually all it needs. Annual walk, cracked pieces replaced, valleys cleared, flashing checked at every penetration, and walk boards set so the next aerial installer does not put a foot through it. Tile roofs here mostly fail from neglect, or from one bad afternoon of foot traffic.
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 tile roofing
The difference between tile roofing that lasts and tile roofing 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.
The standards behind tile roofing
Quality here is not a matter of opinion — it is written down. The tile roofing work we do in Reston follows published industry standards: NRCA publishes the Roofing Manual, the industry's reference for details and slope minimums, and Asphalt Roofing Manufacturers Association sets the shingle application and ventilation guidance the warranties reference. If a contractor cannot tell you which standard a detail comes from, that is worth asking about before you sign.
