Roof Top Services: Celebrating 25 Years of Serving Charlottesville & Albemarle
This year marks a special milestone for Roof Top Services—25 years of providing trusted roofing solutions to the Charlottesville and Albemarle County communities. From the very beginning, our mission has been about more than roofs—it’s been about people, families, and neighbors. To honor this anniversary and give back to the community that has supported us for a quarter century, we partnered with AHIP (Albemarle Housing Improvement Program) to donate two brand-new roofs to local families in need.
For us, this celebration isn’t just about looking back at the work we’ve accomplished—it’s about the relationships we’ve built and the community we’re proud to call home. Charlottesville and Albemarle have shaped who we are as a company, and we look forward to continuing to protect what matters most for the next 25 years.
Albemarle Housing Improvement Program:
Before there was Albemarle Housing Improvement Program (AHIP), there was SCRUB. After Hurricane Camille stormed through Charlottesville in 1969, a volunteer group of UVA students came together to help with the cleanup efforts, calling themselves SCRUB.
In the process, these volunteers discovered that many families in the area lived in dire housing conditions, some even before the hurricane. Recognizing the need for ongoing support, SCRUB evolved into the Charlottesville Housing Improvement Program (CHIP) in 1974. Eventually, the team came to realize that the surrounding county needed support of its own, culminating in the founding of the Albemarle Housing Improvement Program in 1976.
1995 saw CHIP come to an end, which led in turn to AHIP becoming the premier home repair nonprofit for both the city and county, a role it carries on to this day!
As we come up on our 50th anniversary, the AHIP team carries on the legacy of our founders by providing critical home repairs throughout both the city and county. Last year alone, we conducted over 180 repairs for more than 90 local low-income homeowners, reinvesting nearly $600,000 back into our community in the process.
