frequently asked questions

  • There are a few telltale signs it may be time to replace your roof: missing or curled shingles, granules in your gutters, visible sagging, or signs of water damage like stains on ceilings or walls. If your roof is more than 15–20 years old or has been through a major storm, it's smart to schedule a professional inspection. At Wayne Kidd Inc., we offer free assessments and will give you an honest recommendation—whether that means a repair or a full replacement.

  • Asphalt shingles, metal roofs, and flat roofs for residential properties.

  • Metal roofs are a top choice for long-term durability and protection. Known for their sleek, modern look and hidden fastener system, they provide exceptional resistance to wind, water, and corrosion. One of the greatest benefits is longevity—these systems can last 40-70 years with minimal maintenance, outlasting traditional shingles by decades. They're also energy-efficient, fire-resistant, and compatible with snow retention systems, making them ideal for Virginia's unpredictable weather. For contractors and homeowners alike, standing seam delivers peace of mind and lasting value.

  • Yes, Englert materials have a 35-40 year Kynar finish warranty. 

    Yes, Sentriclad metal roofing systems come with a 30-year limited finish warranty. 

  • We offer a wide selection of roofing colors through Sentriclad and Englert metal systems. Download our color charts or stop by to view physical samples and find the perfect match for your project.

  • Repairs: depends on the size of the repairs, and extent of damage. Majority of repairs are completed same day.  

    Full roof replacements: typically 3-4 days, depending on the size/complexity of the roof and weather.


  • Asphalt shingles: 15-30 years.
    Architectural shingles: 25-30 years.
    Metal roofs: 40-70 years, depending on the type and gauge of metal.

  • Standing seam panels differ from other metal roofing options in several key ways. They feature hidden fasteners for a clean look and superior leak protection, raised seams that improve water resistance, and built-in flexibility to handle thermal expansion. They're more durable, architecturally appealing, and often last longer than exposed fastener panels.

  • Nope. All work is done by our licensed, insured, in-house crew.

  • If your roof is 15+ years old, you see curling or missing shingles, or notice leaks—yes! We serve both homeowners, and other contractors.

  • Snow retention systems are installed on metal roofs to control the sudden release of snow and ice. Instead of large sheets sliding off at once, these systems hold snow in place, allowing it to melt gradually and safely. This helps prevent damage to property, landscaping, and gutters, while improving safety for walkways and entry points.

  • Yes. Snow retention systems like ColorGard® and Berger's snow guards can be added to most standing seam metal roofs after installation. We'll assess your roof and recommend the best solution for long-term safety and performance.
