Bristol, VA service area
Our shop is a few minutes from State Street, so White's Roofing Co is about as close as a roofing company in Bristol, VA gets without a Virginia mailing address. Since 1973 the White family has handled roof replacement, roof repair, and shingle and metal roofing on both sides of the line.
Since 1973
Bristol is one town with two states, and anybody who grew up here has stood with a foot on each side under the big sign. Houses on the Virginia side need a roofing company in Bristol, VA that's licensed to work there, not one that hopes nobody asks.
Plenty of roofers stop at the state line. We don't, because we're licensed and insured in Tennessee and Virginia.
To us it's one town. Your house being on the Virginia side doesn't change the drive, the crew or the way we put a roof on.
The streets a few blocks off State Street are lined with older houses, a lot of them with steep roofs, brick chimneys and two layers of shingles from re-roofs long ago.
We take those roofs to the deck, replace the boards that have gone soft, and flash every chimney fresh. Here's how we replace a roof from start to finish.
Get off Commonwealth Avenue and you'll find plenty of ranch homes and two-stories with straightforward roofs. Asphalt shingle is what most of them wear, and most are a one- to two-day job.
Architectural shingles, new underlayment and drip edge go on every one. Read more about residential roofing on both sides of the line.
The Virginia side climbs fast once you leave downtown, and the houses up top catch every gust that comes through. That's where metal roofing earns its keep.
Standing-seam panels hold tight in wind and shed rain and snow without fuss. It's more money up front and a roof that'll outlast a shingle one by a good stretch.
Some leaks get patched three times and keep coming back. Usually that's because the patch went on where the stain is, not where the water gets in.
We trace it from the attic and the roof both, then fix the actual cause. See what goes into a roof repair done right.
Downtown is full of old brick commercial buildings, and their roofs need care like any other. We re-roof and repair existing commercial buildings on the Virginia side.
We don't do new construction or sub work for other builders. If you own the building, look at commercial roof replacement and repair.
Bobby does a lot of roofing for people buying older houses to fix up, rent or sell. On the Virginia side, that usually means an older house with a tired roof and a closing date coming.
Most of those roofs go on in a day or two. Call with the address and the deadline, and we'll tell you honestly what's possible.
Bobby's father started the business in 1973 and still drives out to look at jobs at 82. Bobby has been roofing since 1991, and his son runs things day to day with him now.
Most of our work comes from neighbors telling neighbors, and in Bristol your neighbor might live in the other state. Look over the houses we roof around Bristol.
We come out, get on the roof, look at the decking from the attic and count the layers before we say a number. No phone quotes.
If repairing what you have makes sense, we'll say so. If not, we'll price a new shingle or metal roof both ways so you can compare.

FAQ
Not to us. We roof both sides of Bristol the same way, with the same family on the job.
Yes. Older homes often have more than one layer and some soft decking, and we fix all of that before the new roof goes on.
Standing-seam metal, as a rule. A good architectural shingle roof does fine too, and we'll price both.
All the time. Call with the address and your timeline.
Yes, if it's an existing building. We do commercial re-roofs and repairs, not new construction.
Most houses take one to two days. Steep, custom or metal roofs can run four days or more.
Ask whether they can legally work in Virginia, how long they've been around, and who will be on your roof. If you found a few names searching roofing company near me, those three questions narrow it quickly.
