Hardesty Roofing serves Petersburg, Virginia with residential and commercial roofing, including roof replacement, repair, and storm damage work. We are GAF Master Elite Certified and Class A licensed, working in Petersburg from our Midlothian office since 1990. Free estimates. Call 804-523-9955.
Where we work
An old city, and roofs to match.
Petersburg holds one of the largest concentrations of pre-1900 housing in Virginia. Old Towne, Poplar Lawn, and Blandford are full of homes that have been re-roofed five or six times, and every one of those layers left something behind.
We serve Petersburg from our Midlothian office, roughly a half hour up Interstate 95. Class A licensed, GAF Master Elite Certified, and we put the same materials on a Petersburg roof that we put on our own.
On a house this old the inspection matters more than the quote. Decking condition, prior layer count, and the state of the flashing usually decide the real scope, and none of that is visible from the ground.

We know Petersburg
What a century of roofs leaves behind.
Petersburg homes commonly carry plank decking rather than plywood sheathing, with gaps between the boards that modern fasteners do not grip the same way. Where prior crews nailed into the same boards repeatedly, sections often need replacement before a new system goes on. We check for it during the inspection and put it in the written estimate rather than discovering it as a change order.
The city also has a meaningful stock of low-slope rear additions and porch roofs tied into steep main roofs. Those transitions are where these houses leak, and they need proper flashing rather than sealant. Steep original slopes in Old Towne can also carry historic review considerations depending on the district.

Common questions
Petersburg roofing FAQs.
Do you serve Petersburg?
Yes. Petersburg is about a half hour from our Midlothian office and we handle both residential and commercial roofing there.
My house is over a hundred years old. Can you roof it?
Yes, and it changes how we scope the job. Older Petersburg homes often have plank decking, multiple prior layers, and flashing details that need rebuilding rather than reusing. We inspect for all of it before quoting.
What is plank decking and why does it matter?
Older homes were sheathed with spaced wooden boards instead of continuous plywood. The gaps mean fasteners do not always land in solid wood, and boards that have been nailed through many times lose holding power. Sections sometimes need replacing, which we identify up front.
Are there historic district rules I need to worry about?
Some Petersburg districts carry review requirements that can affect materials and appearance. We will flag it if your property looks likely to be subject to review.
Do you handle the low-slope porch and addition roofs?
Yes. Those transitions are the most common leak point on older Petersburg houses. They need a proper membrane or metal detail and correct flashing into the main roof, not a bead of sealant.
Are estimates free in Petersburg?
Yes. Free, on-site, and in writing, the same as everywhere else we work.
