Grand Manor and Fibertite in Newport News
Project Overview
The Roofing Company replaced the aging roof on a beautiful brick home on Little Bluff Road in Newport News, VA, installing a complete roofing system designed for elite performance, long-term protection, and elevated curb appeal. The homeowner wanted a durable, weather‑resistant solution capable of handling coastal storms while improving energy efficiency. Work included a full tear‑off, upgraded underlayment, and premium materials selected specifically for the home’s combination of steep‑slope and low‑slope roof sections.
To address the home’s unique architecture, the team installed CertainTeed Grand Manor shingles in Black Pearl on the main pitched roof, giving it the dimensional look of natural slate. For the low‑slope section, they installed a high‑performance Fibertite membrane, providing a durable, energy‑efficient waterproofing solution. This dual‑system approach ensures every part of the roof is protected by the ideal material for its specific needs.
Additional enhancements included custom copper pipe collars, four new Velux skylights to bring natural light into the home, and a new 6-inch K‑style gutter system on the rear elevation, complete with Englert MicroGuard protection to prevent clogging. The result is a fully integrated, low‑maintenance roofing system that blends beauty, performance, and long-term reliability.
Results
The new roofing system eliminated existing leaks, tightened the building envelope, and dramatically refreshed the home’s street presence. Crisp rooflines, dimensional shingle textures, and a clean low‑slope membrane deliver both visual appeal and superior weather resistance suited for coastal Virginia. The installation is backed by manufacturer warranties and The Roofing Company’s workmanship guarantee, giving the homeowners lasting peace of mind.
