Why Sentry for Your Roof
We install a roof system that's still doing its job decades from now.
Most homeowners only see the shingles. What they don’t see is the complete roofing system underneath that’s responsible for protecting their home. Decking, underlayment, ice and water barrier, flashing, ventilation, ridge systems, drip edge, valleys, and drainage components must all work together to properly manage water and airflow.
At Sentry Exteriors, we understand that a roof is only as strong as its weakest component. That’s why we take a system based approach to every installation, ensuring each detail is completed to manufacturer specifications and industry best practices.
As a Virginia Class A Contractor, we stand behind our work and take pride in delivering exceptional craftsmanship. We are also a GAF Master Elite® Contractor; a distinction earned by only the top 2% of roofing contractors nationwide. This certification reflects our commitment to ongoing training, proven installation quality, and outstanding customer service.
We go beyond simply installing shingles. We install complete roofing systems designed to protect your home for decades. By combining premium materials, industry leading warranties, meticulous workmanship, and a customer first approach, we provide homeowners with confidence that their investment is protected for years to come.

What Are Your Options?
Choosing the Right Roofing
Material
Every material trades off cost, lifespan, and look differently. Here’s an honest breakdown so you can decide what fits your home and budget — and then we’ll help you confirm it.
Asphalt Shingles
The default choice for most Virginia homes — affordable, dependable, and available in dozens of colors and architectural styles. We install GAF, CertainTeed, and Owens Corning systems.
Key Benefits
- Lowest upfront cost
- Huge range of colors and styles
- Fast installation
- Easy, affordable repairs
Metal Roofing
Standing seam and metal panel roofs shed water and snow, reflect heat, and routinely outlast the homeowner who installs them. A premium look that pays back in longevity.
Key Benefits
- Outstanding weather durability
- Excellent in storms and wind
- Energy efficient / heat reflective
- Low maintenance requirements
Synthetic Slate & Shake
Engineered composite tiles mimic the look of slate or cedar shake at a fraction of the weight — without the fragility or rot. A smart middle ground between cost and curb appeal.
Key Benefits
- Looks identical to natural slate / cedar shake
- Lightweight — no extra framing reinforcement
- Highly impact and weather resistant
- Highly resilient composite construction

While We're Up There…
A New Roof Deserves Gutters That Keep Up.
Most roof failures actually start at the edges — where worn or undersized gutters let water back up under the shingles. Replacing them at the same time saves a mobilization and protects the investment you’re about to make. We can quote both together.
Roofing Questions
Frequently Asked Questions
If damage is isolated — a few missing shingles, a small leak, storm damage in one area — a repair is usually enough. Widespread granule loss, sagging, daylight in the attic, or a roof past 20–25 years typically points to replacement. We’ll inspect, show you photos of the actual condition, and give you an honest recommendation either way.
Most residential roofs are completed in one to three days, depending on size, pitch, material, and weather. Metal and slate take longer than asphalt. We’ll give you a realistic timeline with your estimate and keep you updated if conditions change.
Asphalt shingles offer the lowest upfront cost and the best overall value for most homes — which is why they’re the most common choice. If you plan to stay long term, metal often costs less per year of service thanks to its much longer lifespan. We’ll walk you through the math for your situation.
Often, yes — a new roof, especially with impact-resistant materials, can qualify you for premium discounts with many insurers. We can provide the documentation your insurance company needs. If you’re filing a storm damage claim, we’re happy to walk the roof with your adjuster.
