Hi, I'm Ryan Merritt, and this is my wife Wendy. We are the owners of AED Roofing and Siding, parents of 3, grandparents of 1, and local roofing contractors here in Hampton Roads. Over the past 10 years we have poured our heart and soul into making AED the #1 quality roofing company in Hampton Roads, VA. Our team has replaced, and repaired thousands of residential and commercial roofs in the Hampton Roads area and completed many home exterior (and interior) makeovers. Whether you're a homeowner, commercial property owner or property manager, we aim to serve you by giving you quality service and the best value for your money.
Ryan, owner of AED Roofing and Siding explains why looking at the Best Value is better than looking at the lowest price. We usually come in right down the middle in our roofing estimates, and we believe that is the fair place to be. 4-5 years you're going to have a roof that is stained, which you will have to get chemically rinsed; you'll have loose tiles, etc. On the other hand, you'll find roofing contractors that will offer the same type of package we do, same service, but are much more expensive than us, usually because of their bloated overhead.
Siding is an important element of the design of your home and siding products come in a wide variety of materials, styles, and colors. Choosing the right siding for your home depends your home surroundings and what you want for your home. Do you want to go with the cheapest product? Or do you want something that will give you a longer-lasting solution and best value for your money? Why, you ask? Because Siding installation is a complex system that must be done with a meticulous attention to detail.
Here at AED Roofing and Siding, we install, repair and replace rain gutters, soffits, and fascia. All three of which are in place to help protect your home, from water, mold, insects, and critters. The soil that surrounds your home expands and contracts with weather. This is the number one reason for slab failures in your foundation. After one of our afternoon storms here in Virginia Beach, the soil around the exterior of your house expands when it becomes saturated with water and moisture. Then a dry, hot day following rain can cause the soil to contract and pull away.
We are an advanced roofing contractor specializing in commercial flat roof repair and resurfacing in Hampton Roads. Why spend the money on replacing your current roof when you can resurface or restore it at a fraction of the cost? Replacing a commercial roof is a huge expenditure. Unfortunately, when it's time to replace, there is no getting around it. AED Roofing and Siding specializes in reroofing occupied residential and commercial buildings with very little to no interruptions in day-to-day operations for those inside.
Weather it's a renovation project, remodel or a simple replacement project, when it's time to replace your windows there are many things to consider. In addition to all the benefits you get from window replacement, you should also consider the type of materials, installation and cost. Experience Matters, Quality Matters. People Matter. We talk about installation a lot, because that is where many mistakes can be made. Who does the work is even more important that choosing the style, color, and material.
Here at AED Roofing and Siding, we believe that what we do is really important because it protects everything in your house. Residential roof replacement is a very big decision and there are so many options. Actually, getting a new roof installed is the easy part. We can usually get it done in just two days. The hard part for you is the time and effort it takes to find the right roofing contractor to install. The expense of a new roof is one reason many people try to put it off as long as possible.
We also know that some of our customers are in a position where they cannot properly prepare their home for a big storm that's coming. They may be elderly, in poor health, or in a military family where Dad is deployed and Mom has her hands full with keeping the kids safe. We provide storm preparation services so that our customers can have peace of mind. For a small fee, we can come to your home and secure awnings and outdoor furniture. Call us before it gets bad to discuss your particular needs.
Your attic gets hot.and here in Virginia Beach, it gets humid too. So it's extremely important that your attic has proper ventilation to prevent condensation and mold growth. 1. In the winter you want to reduce condensation (and mold) on the underside of roof decking. 2. In the summer you want to reduce the solar heat gain within the home. All during the year, you want to provide an avenue for drying out any water intrusions or roof leaks. If your attic isn't ventilated properly, it can cause extraordinary heat buildup.
Valley leaks are another common roofing problem. When this is the case, we basically tear off the shingles that are in the valley, put down the ice and water shield and then replace the tiles as close in color as possible. With missing shingles and the unknown leaks, we must meet with the homeowner and do an assessment inside where the leaks are visible, then we will check the attic and lastly, we will look on the roof. If we can't determine exactly where the leak is, that's when we will start water testing.
