Meet Tony Tenorio, Owner
I’m Tony Tenorio, owner of Square Foot Roofing. I’ve spent more than 30 years working in the roofing industry, and that experience has shown me why every roofing project deserves an individual evaluation.
The visible shingles are only one part of a roofing system. Decking, flashing, valleys, ventilation, roof penetrations, underlayment, and other components can all play a role in the condition and performance of the roof.
I believe homeowners should know what they are investing in before a replacement begins. If damaged or deteriorated materials are discovered once the existing roof is removed, I explain the situation and what needs to be addressed rather than simply installing a new roof over an underlying problem.
Square Foot Roofing has been Virginia state licensed since 2019 and provides residential roofing and roof replacement services throughout Elizabeth City, northeastern North Carolina, and Hampton Roads.
Residential Roof Replacement
Residential roof replacement is one of our primary services. When a roof has reached the end of its useful life or experienced substantial damage, we evaluate the entire roofing system instead of concentrating only on the shingles.
The condition of the underlying decking is an important part of the replacement process. If damaged or deteriorated decking is found during the project, those areas can be addressed before the new roofing system is installed.
We also consider flashing, valleys, ventilation, underlayment, and roof penetrations because each of these components can affect the performance of the completed roof.
Our residential roofing services are available throughout Elizabeth City, Moyock, Hertford, and Edenton, North Carolina, as well as Poquoson, Yorktown, Williamsburg, Newport News, Hampton, Portsmouth, Suffolk, Norfolk, Chesapeake, and Virginia Beach.
Our Roof Replacement Process
Every replacement begins with an evaluation of the existing roofing system and a discussion with the homeowner about its condition.
If replacement is appropriate, we determine whether any areas may need additional attention. Certain issues, including damaged decking, may not become apparent until the existing roofing materials have been removed.
After the roofing system and project scope have been established, we install the new system according to applicable product specifications and manufacturer requirements.
We also make cleanup part of the process. Removing an existing roof can generate a considerable amount of debris, and we take care to leave the work area clean when the project is completed.
Our objective is to provide clear communication, professional workmanship, and a properly installed roofing system suited to the home.
50-Year Roof Systems
Square Foot Roofing offers roofing systems that can include products marketed with 50-year product or warranty specifications.
A “50-year” designation should not automatically be viewed as a guarantee that the roof will last 50 years. Depending on the product, the designation may refer to a manufacturer’s warranty or a specific product specification.
Actual roof performance depends on factors such as the roofing system, installation, weather exposure, maintenance, ventilation, and applicable warranty requirements.
As an Owens Corning Certified and Preferred Contractor, we can help homeowners understand the available roofing products and system options before selecting the appropriate system for their property.
High-Wind Resistant Roofing
Wind performance is an important consideration for homeowners in Elizabeth City and throughout northeastern North Carolina, where roofing systems can be exposed to strong winds and severe weather.
Square Foot Roofing offers roofing systems capable of wind resistance ratings of up to 160 mph when the applicable products, installation methods, and manufacturer specifications are followed. The exact rating depends on the specific roofing system selected.
Wind resistance is not determined by the shingle alone. Proper fastening, installation procedures, and compliance with manufacturer requirements can all contribute to the performance of the complete roofing system.
If you are considering a roof replacement in Elizabeth City or another northeastern North Carolina community, we can discuss roofing options designed for enhanced wind resistance and explain the requirements associated with the selected system.
Owens Corning Certified & Preferred Contractor
Square Foot Roofing is proud to be an Owens Corning Certified and Preferred Contractor.
We believe manufacturer certification matters because a roofing system depends on both the materials selected and the quality of their installation. Proper preparation and adherence to applicable manufacturer requirements are important parts of a successful roofing project.
Our experience helps us evaluate the existing roof, recognize conditions that may require attention, and install the selected system with those considerations in mind.
Real Roofing Experience
Not every roofing problem can be identified from the ground.
During residential roof replacements, removing the existing roofing materials can expose conditions that were not visible during the initial evaluation. Deteriorated or damaged decking is one example.
When these conditions are uncovered, the affected areas should be addressed before installing the new roofing system. This is why we believe a proper roof replacement involves evaluating the entire system rather than simply putting new shingles on the home.
More than three decades of hands-on roofing experience have taught us to look beyond the obvious problem and communicate what we find with the homeowner before proceeding.
Customer Experiences
The trust homeowners place in Square Foot Roofing is extremely important to us. We appreciate customers who have taken the time to share their experiences:
“We had a new roof installed on our home and are extremely happy with the entire experience! Tony is great to work with; he is knowledgeable, quick to respond, and offered great pricing. He made the entire process easy and stress-free!
The new roof looks excellent, they took the extra time to replace any damaged boards and cleaned up afterwards. We appreciated how smoothly the process went and would highly recommend them to anyone needing a roof replacement or repair.” — Mellissa Russell
“We loved our experience with Square Foot Roofing! I trusted them with my roof and I’m sure glad I did as we opened a can of worms and the plywood underneath was in bad shape. This was an unexpected cost but Tony worked with us kindly within my budget. My roof looks great and I feel much better it was fixed right. Thank you Square Foot team! I will refer:)” — Heather Covert
“I had damage from a storm that blew up several spots on my roof. As I went around and inspected it myself I noticed I had at least one leak and rotting wood in one location. Tony came out and inspected and quoted a new roof the same day as I contacted him. They went above and beyond with the install, laying tarps to ensure nails and trash were not left around and cleaned up very well. The entire process was completed in one day. They were professional and any questions I had were answered. I highly recommend him and Square Foot Roofing to anyone I find.” — Jason Koonce

Frequently Asked Questions
How do I know if I need a roof repair or complete replacement?
The answer depends on the roof’s age and condition, the extent of the damage, and the condition of the underlying roofing system. A professional evaluation can help determine whether repair or replacement is the better option.
What happens if damaged decking is discovered during a roof replacement?
Damaged or deteriorated decking should be addressed before the new roofing system is installed. If compromised sections are discovered after the existing roof is removed, those areas can be replaced so the new roof has a suitable surface underneath it.
Does a 50-year roof actually last 50 years?
Not necessarily. A 50-year designation can describe a product specification or manufacturer’s warranty rather than a guaranteed service life. Actual longevity depends on the roofing system, installation, weather exposure, maintenance, ventilation, and warranty requirements.
Why is wind resistance important in Elizabeth City?
Strong winds can place considerable stress on residential roofing systems. Selecting an appropriate roofing system and installing it according to manufacturer requirements can help address wind-performance considerations in Elizabeth City and throughout northeastern North Carolina.
What should I do if my roof is damaged during a storm?
If a storm leaves you with missing shingles, visible roof damage, leaks, or other concerns, have the roof professionally evaluated. Temporary protection may also be necessary to help limit additional water intrusion while the damage is being assessed.
