D. L. Williams was extremely fair, honest, and fast. They didn’t put any pressure on me, and explained all of my options very well. I ended up doing a full roof replacement and they did an extremely great job.

I have had a very good experience with D.L Williams roofing from start to finish. They communicated with me without delay, came for the quote in a timely manner and scheduled my garage roof replacement without constant delays. They sent thorough invoices , supervisors checked in with me about any questions I had , and the roof technicians did excellent work and cleaned up very nicely. I chose them also because their quote was much more cost efficient than other quotes I received . ( a BIG appreciation on that!) I highly recommend them.

Willliams Roofing provided excellent customer service by scheduling my roof repair in a timely manner, keeping me up to date when materials would arrive, work was performed professionally and all debris was removed in a manner that I could it tell they were even there. Highly recommended Willams Roofing.

The team at DL Williams Roofing showed up as scheduled and completed the entire roof repair and installation in just one day. Their workmanship was excellent, the crew was professional, efficient, and left the property clean when they finished. I couldn't be happier with the quality of their work. I will absolutely hire DL Williams Roofing again for future projects and highly recommend them to anyone looking for an honest, reliable, and skilled roofing company.

I don't remember the young man's name (short term memory) but he gave me a courtesy call letting me know when to expect him, he was polite, nice smile & professional. He took pictures of the damage so I could see what was causing the leak & explained how he could repair it & gave me a fair quote upfront. I gave him the go ahead to repair the roof leak & he even told me how to get rid of the unsightly water stains on my ceiling. The whole process took less than an hour. I'm a very satisfied customer & will call this company again.

Recently, purchased a house in Dinwiddie County and needed a new roof and gutters. Great job from beginning to end! Knowledgeable about the products. Did a thorough inspection of the roof for the estimate and was able to discuss issues with us and answer our questions. Great communication, never had to guess about anything. Great process, punctual, efficient and did a great job keeping the work area clean. Highly recommend this family owned company!

FAQs about Roof Types — Overview

What roof types does D.L. Williams Roofing install in Central Virginia?

D.L. Williams Roofing installs four primary roof types for residential homes: asphalt shingles (the most popular choice for versatility and value), EPDM rubber roofing (ideal for low-slope applications), TPO roofing (a modern, energy-efficient flat or low-slope option), and cedar shake (a premium, naturally beautiful material). Each is available in multiple styles and grades to suit different budgets and architectural preferences.

Which roof type is best for homes in the Petersburg and Richmond area?

For most Central Virginia homeowners, architectural asphalt shingles provide the best combination of durability, cost, and curb appeal. They handle the region’s humid summers, wind events, and occasional winter ice effectively. Cedar shake suits homeowners seeking natural aesthetics and premium performance. TPO and EPDM are the best choices for homes with flat or low-pitch roof sections. D.L. Williams Roofing helps each homeowner identify the right fit based on their home’s specific needs.

How do I choose between different roof types — what factors should I consider?

Key factors include roof pitch (low-slope roofs require TPO or EPDM, not shingles), budget, desired lifespan, aesthetics, and maintenance preferences. Cedar shake is the longest-lasting but requires more maintenance; asphalt shingles offer the lowest total cost of ownership for most homes. D.L. Williams Roofing’s free estimate includes a clear explanation of each option so homeowners can make an informed, confident decision.

Can D.L. Williams Roofing replace or repair any roof type, including those installed by other contractors?

Yes. D.L. Williams Roofing repairs and replaces all four roof types they install, whether or not the original installation was performed by another contractor. As a CertainTeed Master Craftsman and GAF-certified contractor, the team is equipped to assess and restore the work of any previous roofer — providing an honest evaluation and transparent quote before any work begins.
