Meet Tony Tenorio, Owner
I’m Tony Tenorio, owner of Square Foot Roofing. I’ve worked in the roofing industry for more than 30 years, and that experience has shown me how important it is to evaluate each roof according to its individual condition.
A roofing system involves much more than the shingles that can be seen from the ground. Decking, flashing, valleys, ventilation, roof penetrations, underlayment, and other components can all play a role in how a replacement should be performed.
My goal is for homeowners to understand what their roof needs before the work begins. If issues are uncovered after the existing roofing is removed, I explain the condition and what should be done rather than simply installing new materials over an underlying problem.
Square Foot Roofing has maintained Virginia state licensing since 2019 and primarily serves residential roofing and roof replacement customers throughout Chesapeake, Hampton Roads, and northeastern North Carolina.
Residential Roof Replacement
Residential roof replacement is one of our main services. When a roof is nearing the end of its service life or has experienced substantial damage, we look at the entire roofing system instead of concentrating only on the shingles.
The condition of the roof decking is an important part of that evaluation. If damaged or deteriorated decking is uncovered during the replacement, those areas can be repaired or replaced before the new roofing system goes on.
We also consider flashing, valleys, ventilation, underlayment, and roof penetrations because each can affect the performance of the completed roof.
Our residential roofing services are available throughout Chesapeake, Virginia Beach, Norfolk, Suffolk, Portsmouth, Hampton, Newport News, Williamsburg, Yorktown, and Poquoson. We also serve homeowners in Moyock, Elizabeth City, Hertford, and Edenton, North Carolina.
Our Roof Replacement Process
Every roof replacement starts with an evaluation of the existing system and a conversation with the homeowner about its condition.
If replacement is the appropriate solution, we identify areas that could require additional work. Certain issues, including compromised decking, may only become apparent once the existing roofing materials have been removed.
After determining the roofing system and project scope, we install the new system according to applicable product specifications and manufacturer installation requirements.
We consider cleanup part of the project as well. Roofing work can generate considerable debris, and we make an effort to leave the work area clean rather than leaving the homeowner with the remaining materials.
Our focus throughout the project is on communication, careful workmanship, and installing a roofing system that is appropriate for 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 understood as a promise that a roof will provide 50 years of service. Depending on the product, it may refer to a manufacturer’s warranty or a particular product specification.
Roof performance can vary according to the roofing system, installation quality, weather exposure, maintenance, ventilation, and the terms of the applicable warranty.
As an Owens Corning Certified and Preferred Contractor, we can help homeowners understand the roofing products and system options available for their property before they make a final selection.
High-Wind Resistant Roofing
Wind performance is an important consideration for homeowners in Chesapeake and throughout Hampton Roads because residential roofs 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 actual rating varies according to the roofing system selected.
Wind resistance is determined by more than the shingle. Fastening methods, installation procedures, and compliance with manufacturer requirements all contribute to how the complete roofing system performs.
If you are considering a roof replacement in Chesapeake or another Hampton Roads community, we can explain the available options for enhanced wind resistance and the installation requirements associated with the system.
Owens Corning Certified & Preferred Contractor
Square Foot Roofing is proud to be an Owens Corning Certified and Preferred Contractor.
We consider manufacturer certification important because the performance of a roof depends on both the products selected and how they are installed. Proper preparation and following applicable manufacturer requirements are important parts of a quality roofing project.
Our experience helps us evaluate the existing roof, recognize conditions that may need attention, and install the selected roofing system with those considerations in mind.
Real Roofing Experience
Some roofing problems cannot be identified simply by looking at the roof from the ground.
During residential roof replacements, removing the existing materials can uncover conditions that were not apparent during the initial evaluation. Deteriorated or damaged decking is one common example.
When those issues are found, the affected areas should be addressed before the new roofing system is installed. That is why we believe a roof replacement should involve evaluating the entire system rather than simply placing new shingles over the existing structure.
Years of hands-on roofing experience have taught us to look beyond the most visible issue and explain our findings to the homeowner before proceeding.
Customer Experiences
The trust homeowners place in Square Foot Roofing is extremely important to us. We are grateful to customers who have shared 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 state 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?
Deteriorated or damaged 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 conditions, maintenance, ventilation, and warranty requirements.
Why is wind resistance important in Chesapeake?
Strong winds can put considerable stress on residential roofing systems. Choosing an appropriate roofing system and installing it according to manufacturer requirements can help address wind-performance considerations in Chesapeake and throughout Hampton Roads.
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 needed to help prevent additional water intrusion while the damage is being assessed.
