Here are some of the most common questions we get from our customers.

How do I know if I need a full roof replacement instead of a simple roof repair?

If your roof is over 15–20 years old or shows widespread damage—such as missing shingles, sagging sections, granule loss, or persistent leaks in multiple room areas—a full shingle replacement is often more cost-effective than continuous short-term repairs.

Can new shingles protect my home from coastal Virginia storms?

Yes. Modern architectural asphalt shingles are engineered to withstand high wind speeds and driving rain common in Virginia Beach, Norfolk, and across Hampton Roads, giving your property superior storm protection.

Will replacing my roof increase my property value in Hampton Roads?

Absolutely. A new shingle roof offers one of the highest returns on investment (ROI) for homeowners, instantly boosting curb appeal, energy efficiency, and home buyer confidence.

Is TPO roofing a good choice for an older flat roof?

Yes. TPO is an ideal solution for older flat or low-slope roofs because it provides durable waterproofing without adding excessive weight. When the surface is properly prepared prior to installation, a new TPO system restores structural integrity and long-term performance.

Will a TPO roof help lower energy and cooling bills in Virginia?

In most cases, yes. The solar-reflective surface prevents heat from building up in your property, keeping interior spaces cooler during hot coastal summers and reducing strain on your HVAC system.

What preparation is needed before installing a new TPO roof?

Before installation, our team removes old roofing materials and thoroughly cleans and inspects the roof deck. Proper surface preparation is essential to guarantee that the new TPO membrane adheres seamlessly and lasts for decades.

How often should I get my roof inspected in Hampton Roads?

It is recommended to inspect your roof at least once a year and immediately following severe coastal windstorms, hurricanes, or hail events to catch subtle damage early.

Do you provide documentation for insurance claims?

Yes. ECCE Roofing provides detailed inspection reports and documentation needed by insurance adjusters to process storm damage and leak claims accurately.

How long does a typical roof inspection take?

Most residential roof inspections take between 30 to 60 minutes, depending on the roof’s size, pitch, and accessibility.

How do I know if my skylight needs to be repaired or completely replaced?

If you notice minor water seepage around the edges, a flashing reseal or gasket repair may solve the issue. However, if your skylight shows trapped condensation between panes, cracks in the glass, frame rot, or persistent leaks during heavy rains, a full replacement with an integrated flashing kit is recommended.

What is the difference between a traditional skylight and a sun tunnel?

Traditional skylights are glass windows installed on the roof that offer direct outdoor views and can often be opened for ventilation. Sun tunnels (tubular daylighting systems) use highly reflective aluminum tubes to channel natural sunlight from the roof into smaller interior spaces like hallways, walk-in closets, and bathrooms where a full window won’t fit.

Will adding a skylight or sun tunnel cause roof leaks during coastal storms?

Not when installed professionally. At ECCE Roofing, we use engineered deck-mounted or curb-mounted installation kits with custom step flashing and continuous water barriers that seal tightly against heavy rain, coastal winds, and high humidity in Hampton Roads.

Can old or foggy skylights be upgraded to improve energy efficiency?

Yes. Modern replacement skylights feature dual-pane Low-E glass and argon gas insulation that reduce heat gain in summer and prevent heat loss in winter, helping lower your utility bills across the 7 Cities.

Does ECCE Roofing install skylights and sun tunnels across all of the 7 Cities?

Yes! We provide complete skylight replacement, sun tunnel installation, and roof flashing leak repairs throughout Virginia Beach, Norfolk, Chesapeake, Portsmouth, Suffolk, Newport News, and Hampton.
