Some jobs are just jobs. But when we’re called out to a home at Smith Mountain Lake, something shifts. The air is quieter. The views are wider. And the stakes, well, they’re often higher. Because roofing a lakefront home isn’t just about shingles and nails, it’s about protecting a lifestyle, a memory, an investment, and a sense of peace.

At Mason Company Roofing, we’re proud to be a family-owned, local company serving communities across Southwest Virginia. But there’s something special about working at Smith Mountain Lake. And while we love it for our own reasons, what really matters is what that love does for you.

It Starts with Where You Live

If you live at Smith Mountain Lake full-time or part-time, chances are you chose it for a reason. Maybe it’s the calm mornings on the dock, or the way the water reflects the light just before sunset. Maybe it’s family barbecues, the sound of laughter echoing across the cove, or the way the lake makes everything feel just a little more grounded, and a little more free. We see that. And we respect it.

That’s why, when you invite us to work on your home, we don’t just see a roof, we see a story you’re trying to protect. And we treat that responsibility like it’s our own.

The Challenges of Lakefront Roofing

Working at the lake isn’t just beautiful—it’s unique. Lake homes face a different kind of wear and tear than other properties. Constant sun exposure, open wind corridors over water, elevated moisture, and unpredictable summer storms all add up to extra pressure on your roofing system.

If your roofer doesn’t understand that—or doesn’t care—you could end up with:

Premature shingle failure
Hidden leaks that lead to rot or mold
Ice damming in the winter
Higher energy bills due to poor ventilation or insulation

We’ve seen it happen. But when you work with Mason Company Roofing, you don’t have to guess.

We know the challenges of this region because we live here too. We’ve roofed everything from cozy lakeside cottages to high-end vacation homes. And we know how to build a system that’s going to last—through storms, seasons, and time.

Why Our Clients Are the Heroes

We’re not here to take credit for that.We’re here to help you carry it forward.

You’re the one making the decision to protect your home. You’re the one picking a contractor you can trust. You’re the one who’s choosing to do it right the first time. That makes you the hero of this story—not us.

Our job is to be the guide. To answer questions. To show up on time. To do the work like it matters, because it does.

What Sets Us Apart at the Lake

We know there are plenty of roofing companies you could call. So why do so many lake homeowners choose us?

No long drives from out-of-town contractors. No runaround. Just real people from this region who care about their reputation because they live here too.

2. We’re Family-Owned

3. We Respect the Property

Lake homes are often beautiful, high-value, and surrounded by carefully maintained landscaping. We go out of our way to avoid damage, use protection boards, and maintain clean, safe job sites.

4. We Document and Communicate

Whether you’re full-time or managing your home remotely, we send photos, updates, and clear estimates so you’re never left in the dark.

Your Roof = Your Security

At the end of the day, roofing isn’t about shingles. It’s about security.

A solid roof means:

No surprise leaks during a storm
No costly interior repairs down the line
No stress every time the forecast shows rain
No guilt when guests or family stay over

It means peace of mind. And that’s what we want to give you.
