Yes. We hold a Class A Virginia contractor license and carry general liability and workers' compensation insurance to protect both our team and your property. We are also a BBB Accredited Business, and we have worked in the New River Valley since 2007.

We serve Christiansburg, Blacksburg, and Radford in the New River Valley.

Blue Ridge Roofing & Home Improvement was founded by Joseph Ashby in 2007 and has served the New River Valley for 19 years. That time has given us deep knowledge of local building codes, weather patterns, and the specific needs of homes in our area.

It depends on the scope. A typical residential roof replacement takes 1–3 days, while larger commercial projects take longer. Siding installation usually takes 3–7 days, and window replacement can often be completed in 1–2 days. We'll give you a timeline during your consultation and keep you informed throughout. Weather and material availability can occasionally move the schedule.

It starts with a free consultation where we assess your needs and provide a written estimate. Once you approve it, a deposit (typically 15% of the project cost) schedules the work and orders materials. Before work begins, we prepare the site and protect your property. We clean up daily, and when the job is done we walk through it with you and answer any questions about maintenance or warranties.

For most exterior projects like roofing, siding, and gutter installation, you don't need to be home during the work. We do recommend being available for the initial consultation and the final walk-through. For window replacement, someone should be home to provide access.

We don't work in unsafe weather. If weather delays the job, we'll tell you promptly and reschedule as soon as conditions improve. Delays don't change the quality of the work or our commitment to finishing it properly.

Signs you may need roof work include missing or damaged shingles, leaks or water stains on ceilings, sagging areas, excessive granule loss, or a roof over 20 years old. During our free inspection, we'll assess your roof's condition and give you an honest recommendation. Sometimes a repair is enough. If the roof has widespread damage or is near the end of its lifespan, replacement is often more cost-effective long-term.

We install asphalt shingles (architectural and 3-tab), metal roofing, and flat roofing systems including TPO and EPDM. We'll help you choose the best material for your home based on your budget, the look you want, and the requirements of the building.

Yes. Material warranties vary by manufacturer and product, typically ranging from 20 years to lifetime coverage. We also provide our own workmanship warranty. We'll explain all warranty details during your consultation so you know exactly what's covered.

Yes. We have extensive experience working with insurance companies on storm damage claims. We document the damage with photos and notes, meet with your insurance adjuster, and guide you through the claims process.

We recommend a professional inspection at least once every 2–3 years, and after any major storm. Regular inspections catch small issues before they become expensive problems. Our roof inspections are free.

Roof replacement costs depend on roof size, pitch, material, and complexity. A typical residential roof replacement in our area ranges from $8,000 to $25,000 or more. During your free consultation, we'll provide a detailed, itemized estimate specific to your project.

We accept cash, checks, and credit cards, and financing is available. Typically, we require a deposit (usually 15% of the project cost) to order materials and begin work, with the balance due when the project is complete.

Yes. All of our estimates are in writing, with detailed breakdowns of materials, labor, and any additional costs. We encourage you to compare our estimate with others and ask about any line item.

No. Our written estimates include all anticipated costs. If unexpected issues come up during the project, such as hidden structural damage, we'll show you and get your approval before doing any additional work.

Let us know. We'll review the other estimate and do our best to match or beat it whenever possible.
