In Arlington, Virginia, where progressive thinking meets historical charm, more and more homeowners are choosing to upgrade their roofs—not just for curb appeal, but for the planet. Eco-friendly roofing has quickly become one of the most sought-after home improvements in this forward-thinking community. And at the heart of this shift is a groundbreaking solution: recycled asphalt shingles from GAF, the nation’s leading roofing manufacturer.
At Requeno’s Construction, we’re proud to be one of the first local roofing companies to embrace this innovation and bring it to Arlington neighborhoods. If you’re considering a roof replacement and value quality, durability, and sustainability, this guide is for you.
Why Arlington Homeowners Are Looking for Greener Roofing Solutions
Arlington residents are some of the most environmentally aware homeowners in the D.C. metro area. With robust recycling programs, green building incentives, and a collective focus on sustainability, it’s no surprise that roofing trends are evolving too.
But here’s the problem: most old asphalt shingles end up in landfills. Every year, an estimated 13 million tons of asphalt roofing waste are dumped across the U.S., with no clear path to reuse—until now.
Enter GAF’s RoofCycle™: The Game-Changer in Roofing
GAF, a leader in roofing materials, has developed RoofCycle™, an innovative process that allows old shingles to be collected, ground down, and reused in the manufacturing of new shingles. This not only reduces landfill waste but also cuts down on the use of virgin asphalt and raw materials.
Requeno’s Construction is proud to offer GAF shingles made through this sustainable process. By working with us, you’re not only upgrading your home—you’re investing in a cleaner future.
Benefits of GAF Recycled Shingles:
Same durability and performance as traditional shingles
Backed by GAF’s limited lifetime warranty
Diverts waste from landfills
Contributes to circular manufacturing practices
Qualifies for certain green home certifications
Eco-Friendly Roofing with No Compromise on Curb Appeal
Many people worry that sustainable roofing might mean sacrificing style—but that couldn’t be further from the truth.
GAF’s recycled shingles come in a variety of rich colors and textures, perfectly suited for Arlington’s diverse home styles—from classic colonials in Lyon Village to sleek modern builds near Clarendon.
Whether your roof is aging or storm-damaged, this is your chance to replace it with something stronger, smarter, and more sustainable—without compromising your home’s appearance.
