FAQs
Most questions we receive come down to a single concern: will the work last, and can you trust the people doing it? These answers address the details homeowners and business owners ask about most, from licensing and warranties to timelines and materials.
Are you licensed and insured?
Yes. Beatty Construction & Roofing is a Class A licensed contractor, which is the highest classification available in Virginia and allows us to perform projects of any size without monetary limit. This license requires proof of experience, financial stability, and passing state examinations. We are also a GAF Certified Roofing Contractor and hold an A+ rating from the Better Business Bureau as an Accredited Business.
We carry full insurance coverage on every job, which protects both our crews and your property throughout the work. When you request documentation, we provide it without hesitation. This transparency reflects our guiding principle: built on trust, backed by quality. We recommend that any contractor you consider shows the same willingness to share credentials before work begins.
What services do you provide?
We handle a wide range of residential and commercial work under one roof, which reduces the need to coordinate multiple contractors. Our teams manage both structural and finish work, so a single project can move from framing to final trim without a change in accountability.
Our core services include the following:
- Roofing: residential and commercial installation, repair, and full replacement for shingle, metal, and flat membrane systems.
- Remodeling: kitchen and bathroom renovations with layout changes, cabinetry, and fixture installation.
- Additions: room extensions and second-story builds that tie into your existing structure.
- Exterior work: siding, windows, doors, and decks that improve weather resistance and appearance.
- Interior work: flooring and complete interior renovations.
How does a typical project begin?
Every project starts with an on-site assessment. We measure the area, inspect existing conditions, and identify concerns that are not always visible at first glance, such as hidden water damage, rot, or improper flashing from previous work. This inspection lets us give an accurate scope of work instead of a rough estimate that changes later.
After the assessment, we prepare a written proposal that lists materials, labor, and a projected timeline. We walk you through each line so you understand what is included and why. Once you approve the scope, we schedule the work around weather conditions and material delivery, and we keep you informed as each phase moves forward.
How long will my project take?
Timelines depend on scope, weather, and material availability. A straightforward asphalt shingle roof replacement on an average home often takes one to three days. A kitchen remodel with new cabinetry, plumbing adjustments, and flooring commonly runs several weeks. Larger additions that require permits and foundation work take longer because of inspection stages.
We give a realistic schedule during the proposal stage and update it if unexpected conditions appear, such as concealed structural damage. Rushing a job to meet an arbitrary date often produces poor results, so we balance speed with the careful sequencing that quality work requires.
Do you offer emergency service?
Yes. We provide 24/7 emergency service for urgent situations that cannot wait, such as storm-damaged roofs, active leaks, fallen limbs, or wind-torn siding. When water is entering a building, fast action limits damage to insulation, drywall, electrical systems, and personal belongings.
Our emergency response includes temporary protective measures, such as tarping and sealing, to stabilize the situation before permanent repairs. We then schedule the full repair once the area is safe and dry. This service is available across Virginia Beach, VA, so help is close when severe weather strikes.
What warranties do you provide?
Warranty coverage comes from two sources: the manufacturer and the installer. As a GAF Certified Roofing Contractor, we can offer enhanced manufacturer warranties on qualifying roofing systems that cover materials for extended periods. These warranties often require certified installation, which our credentials satisfy.
We also stand behind our workmanship. Proper installation is what allows manufacturer warranties to remain valid, since most product warranties are voided by incorrect application. During your consultation, we explain exactly which coverage applies to your specific materials and system so there are no surprises later.
Why choose a family-owned company?
As a family-owned and operated business, we answer directly to the customers we serve in our own community. There is no distant corporate office setting quotas. Decisions are made by people who live near the projects and who depend on their reputation for future work.
This structure encourages honest communication and consistent quality. If you have a question during a project, you speak with people who know the details of your job. That accountability is the foundation of Beatty Construction & Roofing, and it is why so much of our work comes from referrals and repeat customers.
