When most people hear “metal roof,” they picture an entire home covered in standing seam metal. We install complete metal roofing systems, but that is only one way metal can be incorporated into a roofing project. More homeowners are choosing to combine metal roofing with architectural asphalt shingles, using each material where it makes the most sense for the home. Full Metal Roofing Systems For homeowners looking for the durability, appearance, and long-term performance of

Not all roofing warranties are created equal. At Mason Roofing, every full roof replacement includes a 10-year workmanship warranty backed directly by us. If you have an installation-related issue, you don’t need to start with a third-party warranty company or the shingle manufacturer—you call Mason Roofing. We also offer extended manufacturer warranty upgrades, including 50-year options, for homeowners who want additional protection. The important thing is understanding exa

At Mason Roofing, the products we recommend to homeowners have to earn our confidence. Over the past year, our crews have had the opportunity to work with CertainTeed Landmark® PRO shingles on a number of new-construction roofing projects. That experience gave us the chance to do more than simply look at specifications on paper. We were able to handle the material, install it in the field, see the finished product, and evaluate the overall quality of the roofing system firsth

If you've received a roofing estimate recently, you may have noticed that roofing prices today look different than they did even a year ago. In 2026 alone, we've already experienced four separate material price increases from our suppliers, driven by manufacturer pricing adjustments throughout the industry. To put that in perspective, we've seen more roofing material increases this year than we experienced during all of last year combined. While no one can predict the future

When homeowners begin searching for a roofing contractor, most are not experts in roofing systems. They may not know the difference between architectural shingles and designer shingles. They may not understand ventilation calculations, underlayment systems, flashing details, or manufacturer warranty requirements. What they are really trying to determine is much simpler: Can I trust this company with my home? At Mason Roofing, we believe that question sits at the center of eve

For a long time, most commercial property owners treated roofing systems as something you dealt with only when there was a problem. If the building wasn’t leaking, the roof usually stayed out of sight and out of mind. But that approach is getting harder to sustain. Today’s market looks very different than it did even ten years ago. Property owners and facility managers are dealing with rising insurance costs, tighter underwriting standards, higher interest rates, labor shorta

If you’re comparing roofing options, you’ve likely come across GAF Timberline HDZ and GAF Timberline UHDZ. At first glance, they seem almost identical. Same manufacturer. Same product line. Similar warranty eligibility. But in reality, they are not the same product, and choosing between them can impact how your roof performs, how it looks over time, and how much maintenance it requires down the road. This guide breaks down the difference in a practical way so you can make the

Even though it’s still February, the snow and ice are melting and temperatures are warming up across Southwest Virginia. That means our crews at Mason Company Roofing are back out installing roofs, siding, and gutters and performing inspections again. Just because the calendar says winter does not mean roofing work has to stop. When temperatures are consistently above 40 degrees, shingles can seal properly and installations can be completed the right way. With this recent war

Commercial & Residential Insights for Winter 2025-26 Winter always puts a roof to the test, but few weather patterns stress a roofing system quite like slow melting, lingering snow. When snow arrives, sticks, and refuses to leave for days, the real work begins. Homeowners notice it when they see patches on the driveway that never seem to melt. Commercial property owners and nonprofit facility managers notice it on shaded roofs, flat sections of buildings, and around valleys w

When most homeowners think about roofing, they picture spring and summer. Warm days, long daylight hours, and clear forecasts feel like the “right” time for exterior work. Because of that, winter often gets written off as a dead season for roofing. In reality, winter is one of the most important times to pay attention to your roof, and in many cases, it is still a perfectly viable time to install one. What Winter Weather Does to Your Roof Winter is demanding on roofing system

Some projects stand out not because they’re flashy, but because of the coordination it takes to get them right. This Smith Mountain Lake home was one of those projects. The roof was installed using continuous 40-foot metal panels delivered by flatbed tractor trailer. Panels at that length don’t simply arrive on site and go straight onto the roof. From the start, this project required thoughtful planning around site access, delivery timing, staging space, and installation sequ

As we welcome a new year, we’re reflecting on what this past year made possible. From the trust of our clients to the dedication of our team, we’re grateful for the work accomplished and focused on building forward with purpose.
