Here are the roof replacement companies VA homeowners in and around Richmond turn to — ranked by real customer rating, no filler.
Hansons is a Great Lakes multi-trade specialist running its own in-house crews across windows, roofing, and siding, backed by a four-tier Smart Choice warranty system (only the top Smart Choice tier carries the full Lifetime Guarantee — ask which tier your quote includes). Customer reviews consistently describe the sales process as informative rather than pushy, and installation crews are frequently praised for speed on same-day multi-window jobs. Hansons is also an exclusive ProVia siding dealer in its markets, which is worth asking about if you're bundling projects.
Home Genius Exteriors holds Owens Corning Platinum Preferred status (top 1% of contractors) plus James Hardie Elite and CertainTeed 5-Star certifications, and reviews back up the credentials — homeowners repeatedly single out their dedicated project managers for staying in touch throughout the job. Crews are described as fast and considerate of property across windows, roofing, siding, and gutters, not just one specialty. Their promotional "50% off materials" offer explicitly excludes windows and doors — confirm what's actually included before you count on it.
Erie Home specializes in stone-coated steel roofing — a heavier-duty alternative to asphalt shingles with a 50-year transferable warranty — and reviews back up their one-day installation claim even on large roofs, with repeated praise for thorough cleanup. Metal roofing costs more upfront than asphalt shingles; the tradeoff is longevity and storm resistance, which matters most in hail- or wind-prone regions.
Homefix Custom Remodeling is a GAF Master Elite contractor (100% Lifetime Guarantee eligible) focused on the Mid-Atlantic, and long-tenured customers — some 10–20 years in — specifically cite durability holding up over time. As with several door-to-door-marketed regional contractors, be direct about your preferred contact method during the initial outreach if you'd rather schedule by phone or online.

The questions below are the ones homeowners in Richmond ask most often before booking roof replacement — what it costs locally, whether a permit is needed, how long the work takes and how to tell a good quote from a bad one. Answers reflect this market specifically, not national averages.
Permit requirements for roof replacement depend on the scope of your project and the municipality you are in, and Richmond is rated moderate on permit complexity relative to other metros we cover. Ask each contractor who pulls the permit, whether the fee is inside their quote, and to show you the approved permit in writing before work starts.

Installed cost in Richmond runs roughly 3% below the national average for this trade. That figure is not a cost-of-living index — it is built from Bureau of Labor Statistics wage data for the Richmond, VA metro area, weighted by the roughly 22% of a roof replacement job that is labor rather than material.
Local trade wages sit about 14% below the national figure, but the installed price moves less than that, because material ships at national prices no matter where you live. This is why a quote from a high-wage metro is rarely as far above the national average as people expect — and why a suspiciously cheap quote in an expensive market is worth a second look.
