How Do I Choose a Roofing Contractor in Loudoun County?

By the LPS Exteriors team · Leesburg, VA · Updated 2026

After every major storm, Loudoun County driveways fill with out-of-state trucks. Some are fine; many are not. Here's the checklist local homeowners should run before signing anything.

The 8-point vetting checklist

1. Verify the Virginia license class. A Class A license is the state's highest contractor classification, no project size limits, the strictest financial and experience requirements. Look the number up on the DPOR website. (LPS Exteriors: Class A, #2705166394.)
2. Demand proof of insurance. Liability and workers' comp. If a crew member is hurt on your roof and the contractor is uninsured, the claim can land on your homeowners policy.
3. Check the physical address. A real local office, not a P.O. box, means they'll exist when a warranty issue appears. Our office is at 39 Fort Evans Rd NE in Leesburg.
4. Read recent reviews, and read them closely. Look for named employees, specific projects, and how the company handles problems. LPS holds a 5.0-star Google rating with reviewers repeatedly naming Doug, Taylor, Kenny, and Noe for responsiveness.
5. Ask about the workmanship warranty. Manufacturer warranties cover materials; only a workmanship warranty covers the installation. LPS backs every project for 1 year of workmanship, on top of manufacturer coverage.
6. Get the scope in writing. Underlayment type, ice-and-water shield locations, flashing replacement, ventilation plan, plywood pricing, permits, and cleanup. Vague one-page quotes hide corner-cutting.
7. Be wary of door-knockers and deposit pressure. "Sign today only" pricing and large up-front cash deposits are the two loudest red flags in this industry.
8. Prefer local and established. Family-owned, community-invested companies answer the phone in year five. LPS is Loudoun-owned, Best of Loudoun 2022–2025, and runs a charity that gives a special-needs child a free bedroom makeover every month.
