02What We Do

Services We Offer Across Clinton, MD

Clinton's housing stock runs from 1950s-1960s post-war ranchers near the Joint Base Andrews fence-line and Allentown Road to 1970s-1990s Surrattsville colonials and a 2000s-2010s Rosaryville and Westphalia Manor production-builder slice. We install all six exterior trades from our St. Leonard shop, and PCS-window timelines and VA-loan pre-sale roof certifications are the standard Andrews AFB south-gate workflow we honor.

Includes VA, FHA, and HUD pre-sale roof certifications.

03Local Conditions

What’s Different About Clinton MD Homes

Clinton is a 25.09 sq mi unincorporated CDP in southern Prince George’s County (2020 census population 38,760, centroid 38.7636 / -76.8956, ZIP 20735 primary with 20748 and 20772 fringe). The CDP sits on MD-5 / Branch Avenue about 11 miles south of downtown DC. Originally named Surrattsville (the John Surratt Sr. tavern that became Surratt House Museum, now a National Register property and Lincoln-assassination historic landmark), renamed Robeystown 1865 to 1878 after the Civil War, then permanently renamed Clinton in 1879. Three things define how we work this footprint:

01

Clinton Housing Eras — One Roof Approach Won’t Fit

Clinton housing pool runs 1950s-1960s post-war ranchers and Cape Cods on Allentown Road near the Joint Base Andrews fence-line, 1970s-1990s Surrattsville colonials on Woodyard Road, and 2000s-2010s Rosaryville and Westphalia Manor production builds. Each era used different decking, framing, and shingle standards. A one-size roof quote misses what your specific home actually needs.

Our ApproachHAAG-certified inspections that account for your home’s era and original construction methods, with professional roof repair guidelines applied to every scope of work. We price by what your specific roof requires.
02

Home Crew · 50 Minutes South

Most Clinton roofing contractors drive in from out-of-area chains and outer-market crews. JDH is 50 minutes south via MD-4 and MD-5, with our crews, our trucks, and our warranty office close enough that a Tuesday-morning inspection becomes a Tuesday-afternoon quote.

Our ApproachSame-day inspections within 24 hours of your call and storm response same day from your local Clinton roofing and exterior team. When you call us in 2036 for warranty work, we are still the same drive away.
03

MD-5 Wind Corridor + Joint Base Andrews Federal Market

Clinton sits under central PG humid-summer load plus active MD-5 / Branch Avenue wind exposure. Joint Base Andrews south-gate military and federal civilian workforce inside the Clinton 20735 footprint drives a deep PCS-cycle-aware homeowner pool that expects defensible spec and resale-ready warranty paperwork on every install.

Our ApproachStainless or coated-steel fasteners on every salt-air or wind-corridor install, transferable Owens Corning Platinum warranties built for PCS cycles, plus flexible roofing financing options for every homeowner.

Clinton MD Storm Documentation, Done Right

Wind, hail, and tropical-system damage in Clinton almost always requires a written Xactimate scope of loss with photo documentation before an insurance adjuster will approve coverage. Clinton sits on the MD-5 / Branch Avenue corridor in the broader PG County tropical-system path, and Andrews AFB military families on insurance-upgrade timelines need Class-4-impact spec documented at the inspection stage. If your Clinton home took a hit during a recent event, emergency storm damage roof response in MD and VA moves you to the front of the schedule.

  • Aug 2020Tropical Storm Isaias tornado outbreak across the NWS LWX region produced sustained tropical-storm-force wind across Clinton, the MD-5 corridor, and the Andrews-adjacent housing pool with
  • Oct 2012Hurricane Sandy sustained wind across PG County and the southern Clinton corridor with ridge-cap failure and shingle uplift documented across the Surrattsville-core and Woodyard housing
  • Sep 2003Hurricane Isabel made landfall over the Chesapeake Bay and produced benchmark wind damage and flooding across central Maryland including Clinton and the broader PG County
  • Class 4 SpecOwens Corning Duration STORM with SureNail impact-rated shingles qualify for the UL 2218 Class 4 impact rating that insurance carriers use to discount the annual

JDH writes the document USAA, State Farm, Allstate, Travelers, and Erie Insurance adjusters expect, photographs every area of damage at the proving angle, and can walk the inspection with your adjuster the day they arrive. Most Clinton claims settle in 9 to 21 days when documented this way.

Deeply Rooted Southern MD Neighbors · No Storm Chasers

Out-of-state storm chasers roll into Southern MD after every major weather event, sign quick contracts, and disappear once the insurance checks clear.

“Got PCS orders to Ramstein with a 60-day window. JDH wrote the VA-loan-clean roof certification in the format our lender needed, pulled the PG County permit in three days, and had the new OC Duration on the house in two more. The incoming Andrews family closed on schedule. The transferable warranty was a big deal at the table.”

★★★★★

“Our Woodyard Road split-level had three layers of asphalt when JDH pulled them off. They had warned us in the quote that the stacked-decking remediation was likely and the contingency was already priced in. No surprise bill. The HAAG inspector also found cedar-shake underlayment from the original 1972 build, which two other contractors missed.”

★★★★★

“Listing our Surrattsville-HS-zone house in 90 days. JDH ran a full exterior inspection across roof, siding, windows, and gutters; written photo report in 24 hours. Fixed price, both colors matched the neighbor, install in two days. Our listing agent said the roof certification cleared the buyer’s VA appraisal cleanly.”

Why Clinton MD Trusts JDH

Storm-chaser companies show up in Clinton after every named tropical event and disappear when warranty season starts. Out-of-state regional chains run boiler-room sales presentations and leave. In-Clinton operators have real local tenure but lack the HAAG Master + OC Platinum + James Hardie Elite + ProVia Certified Installer credential stack. JDH has been in St Leonard 50 minutes south since the late 1990s, family-owned and operated for three generations since 1986, and we pack Clinton work into 3 to 4 day crew windows so the same crew handles every job. When you need us in five years, ten years, or twenty, we are still here. Same family, same office, same warranty, which is exactly the math the next Andrews family will run when they buy your house under PCS orders.

Frequently Asked

Clinton MD Roofing & Exterior Questions

What is the average cost of a new roof in Clinton, MD?+
Most Clinton, MD homes in the 20735 footprint (1,800 to 2,400 sq ft of roof surface) run $9,500 to $16,500 for a full Owens Corning Platinum roof system in 2026. Older 1950s to 1960s ranchers and Cape Cods near the Joint Base Andrews fence-line and Allentown Road (1,200 to 1,600 sq ft) sit at $7,500 to $10,500. The 2000s to 2010s production-builder 2-story colonials near Rosaryville and Westphalia Manor (2,400 to 3,000 sq ft) reach $12,000 to $18,000. Class-4-impact storm-spec installs for Andrews military families on insurance-upgrade timelines run $14,000 to $22,000. Statewide Maryland averages run $9,000 to $22,000 with an approximate $14,000 mid-point per public industry data. JDH Remodeling has served Clinton since 1986 and stands behind every install with a transferable 50-year non-prorated warranty. PCS-window timelines and VA-loan-clean pre-sale roof certifications are our normal workflow, not a special request.
How does living near Joint Base Andrews affect my roof replacement timeline if I am on PCS orders?+
Clinton sits approximately 5 miles south of the Joint Base Andrews main gate, and Allentown Road feeds directly into the AFB south fence-line. Andrews military families relocate on 2 to 4 year PCS (Permanent Change of Station) cycles, which creates a 30 to 90 day pre-sale window when the outgoing family needs a documented roof condition for the listing and the incoming family needs a permit-clean, VA-loan-eligible certification at closing. JDH writes VA, FHA, HUD, and conventional pre-sale roof certifications in the lender-and-adjuster format Andrews families need, tightens quote-to-install to a 5-day window when the PCS report date demands it, and includes the Class-4-impact shingle option with the insurance-upgrade premium-offset math disclosed in writing. The transferable 50-year non-prorated warranty means the next Andrews family who buys your Clinton house in 2 to 4 years inherits the same coverage you authorized, which is a real selling point at the closing table. We have worked dozens of PCS-window Clinton jobs and the workflow is our normal routine.
Do I need a permit to replace my roof in Clinton, MD?+
Yes, and only one. Clinton is an unincorporated CDP in Prince George’s County, which means roof replacement requires a Prince George’s County Department of Permitting, Inspections and Enforcement (DPIE) building permit. The DPIE office is at 9400 Peppercorn Place, Largo, MD 20774 (main phone 301-636-2000, Permit Center 301-636-2050), with an online ePermits portal at princegeorgescountymd.gov. Review for like-for-like roof work is typically 5 to 10 business days. Unlike incorporated cities inside PG County (Bowie, Laurel, Hyattsville, College Park, Greenbelt) which require a separate municipal permit on top of the County permit, Clinton homeowners only need the one County DPIE permit. JDH files the permit on your behalf as part of the fixed-price quote, schedules the final inspection at job completion, and provides the closed permit document for your records. The permit fee is built into the written quote. Plumbing, electrical, HVAC, and fire inspection permits are also county-only.
Are the 1970s and 1980s Clinton split-levels and colonials entering their second or third asphalt-shingle replacement cycle now?+
Third cycle, in most cases. Asphalt-shingle service life in PG County’s humid-summer climate runs 22 to 28 years for a properly installed three-tab and 25 to 30 years for a properly installed architectural. A 1972 build that received its original roof in 1972, its first replacement around 1995, and its second around 2018 is sitting on or just past the end of its third service window in 2026. That puts the Woodyard Road corridor, the Surrattsville village core, the Old Branch Avenue residential streets, and most of the western Westphalia Manor blocks all in the third-cycle window right now. A naive square-foot quote that does not call out the stacked-shingle dead load can underprice the job by 10 to 20 percent because the third-cycle tear-off almost always finds stacked asphalt generations plus, in some cases, a thin cedar-shake underlayment from the original 1970s build. JDH’s HAAG Master Certified inspector and PCC digital analysis quantify the stacked-decking dead load and surface any cedar-shake underlayment risk at the inspection stage with photo evidence and contingency budget disclosed in writing before tear-off.
Does Surratt House Museum or Maryland Historical Trust review affect roof replacement on pre-1900 Clinton properties?+
For most Clinton properties, no. The standard 1950s to 2010s Clinton housing pool is not under Maryland Historical Trust (MHT) review. However, for the small pool of pre-1900 properties in the immediate Surratt House Museum vicinity (Mary Surratt’s 1852 tavern at 9118 Brandywine Road, a National Register of Historic Places property and Maryland Historic Site) and a handful of other documented pre-1900 structures in the Surrattsville village core, exterior changes including roof material, color, and visible profile can trigger MHT review. The same applies if a property is enrolled in any state or federal historic-preservation easement or tax-credit program. JDH navigates the MHT review timeline on roof replacements for pre-1900 Clinton properties, including selecting material colors and shingle profiles that align with the historic-property guidelines while still delivering a modern Owens Corning Platinum system with the transferable 50-year warranty. If you own a pre-1900 Clinton property near the Surratt House Museum or in the Surrattsville core, mention it at the inspection and we will scope the MHT step into the timeline.
How does Surrattsville High School catchment affect my Clinton resale roof project?+
Substantially, if you are listing the house. The Surrattsville HS catchment is the school-zone identity layer most Clinton homeowners self-locate by, separate from the broader Clinton CDP name. School-shopping families who buy into the catchment use the school-zone identity as the primary decision driver, which means resale-prep roofs, sidings, windows, doors, and gutters need to clear the visible-curb-appeal bar that listing photos and open-house traffic will see. JDH runs a full exterior inspection across all six trades, writes a 24-hour photo report, and quotes a fixed price built for the listing-agent timeline. We coordinate roof color selection against the neighbor curb appeal so the photo set looks consistent across the block, and we time the install around showing windows when the listing is already on the market. The roof certification we write also clears the VA appraisal cleanly for the inevitable military or federal-employee buyer who is the dominant Surrattsville-zone purchaser pool.
What is a Class-4-impact roof and why do Andrews AFB military families upgrade to one?+
A Class-4-impact roof uses shingles rated to UL 2218 Class 4, the highest impact-resistance rating available. Owens Corning Duration STORM with SureNail Technology is the OC Class-4 product, and it carries documented resistance to a 2-inch steel ball dropped from 20 feet without cracking. Insurance carriers including State Farm, USAA, Allstate, Travelers, Liberty Mutual, and Erie offer annual-premium discounts on Class-4 installs (commonly 10 to 30 percent off the wind-and-hail portion of the homeowner premium), and several carriers waive or reduce the separate hurricane and wind deductible. For Andrews AFB military families on insurance-upgrade timelines (often required by the carrier as a condition of continuing coverage after a documented storm event), the Class-4 upgrade pays back the incremental cost in 5 to 8 years of premium offset. JDH includes the Class-4 option in every Andrews-family quote with the actual annual premium offset and deductible reduction disclosed in writing so the math is visible before install. Deployable-spouse households particularly value the Class-4 upgrade because the roof has to handle a storm while one partner may be overseas for months.
Did the August 2020 Tropical Storm Isaias outbreak or earlier hurricanes damage roofs we can still see signs of in Clinton today?+
Yes. August 4 2020 brought the Tropical Storm Isaias tornado outbreak across the NWS LWX (Sterling, VA) forecast region with sustained tropical-storm-force wind across Clinton, the MD-5 corridor, and the broader Andrews-adjacent housing pool; multiple tornadoes were confirmed across PG County and southern Maryland. Hurricane Sandy in October 2012 produced sustained wind across the same corridor with ridge-cap failure documented across Surrattsville-core and Woodyard split-levels. Hurricane Isabel in September 2003 was the benchmark wind event for central Maryland including Clinton. Roofs that took partial uplift in any of these events but were spot-repaired rather than fully replaced now commonly show accelerated wear: lifted shingle tabs that did not reseal properly, ridge-cap loosening that became granule loss, and flashing displacement that became leak entry points. Insurance carriers accept HAAG Master Certified inspection documentation tied to these named events on a delayed-discovery basis. JDH writes the Xactimate scope of loss in the format every major carrier accepts and can walk the inspection with your adjuster the day they arrive.
Why are most Clinton roofers headquartered in Lanham or Capitol Heights instead of in Clinton itself?+
Material distribution dictates HQ location for most PG County roofers. The major distributors that serve the Clinton ring are Beacon Lanham (approximately 17 miles north of Clinton), ABC Supply Capitol Heights (approximately 9 miles north), and the SRS branches in Lanham, Beltsville, and Forestville (approximately 12 to 20 miles north). Roofers headquartered near distribution can run shorter daily turns to the lumberyard, which matters when a tear-off finds unexpected decking damage and needs an emergency material run. JDH ships from St Leonard, MD (about 50 minutes south of Clinton via MD-4 and MD-5) and we solve the distribution distance by packing Clinton jobs into 3 to 4 day crew windows rather than daily round-trips, materializing the entire job before tear-off, and carrying backup decking on the truck. The trade-off is heritage: JDH’s 1986 founding date pre-dates every in-Clinton operator, the credential stack of HAAG Master + OC Platinum + James Hardie Elite + ProVia Certified Installer is unmatched in the local ring, and the 1,400-plus reviews at 4.9 stars top every Clinton-area roofer by orders of magnitude.
How long does a roof replacement take in Clinton, MD?+
Most Clinton roof replacements take 1 to 3 days from tear-off to clean-up. A smaller 1950s to 1960s Allentown Road rancher or Cape Cod (1,200 to 1,600 sq ft surface) typically wraps in 1 to 2 days. A 1970s to 1990s Woodyard Road or Surrattsville-core split-level or colonial (1,800 to 2,400 sq ft) is 2 to 3 days, with the extra day driven by third-cycle stacked-decking remediation. A 2000s to 2010s Rosaryville or Westphalia Manor 2-story production-builder colonial (2,400 to 3,000 sq ft) is 2 to 3 days. From quote to install is typically 2 to 4 weeks for a routine job and we tighten that to a 5-day window when the Andrews AFB PCS report date demands it. Storm-claim jobs can compress to 9 to 21 days once insurance approval is in hand. We pack Clinton work into 3 to 4 day crew windows from St Leonard HQ via MD-4 and MD-5, so the same crew that starts your tear-off finishes your clean-up.
What is the 25% rule for roofing in Clinton, MD?+
The 25% rule is an industry guideline (codified in many local building codes and rooted in the International Residential Code) that says if more than 25 percent of a roof is damaged or needs repair, you replace the entire roof rather than patch it. In Prince George’s County the rule is applied at the DPIE inspection stage when permit-pulled repair work is reviewed, and it is also the threshold most major insurance carriers (State Farm, USAA, Allstate, Travelers, Liberty Mutual, Erie) use to convert a partial-repair claim into a full-replacement claim. For a Clinton home, the rule typically tips toward replacement once you see hail strikes across two or more slopes, wind-lifted shingles across an entire rake or ridge, or granule loss patterns covering more than a quarter of the field. On a 1970s or 1980s Woodyard Road or Surrattsville-core split-level with stacked asphalt-shingle generations, the threshold can also tip on accumulated dead load that has caused visible sag at the ridge or rafter line. JDH’s HAAG Master Certified inspector measures the affected area as part of the free inspection so the 25% threshold is documented either way.
Does JDH’s MHIC #137491 license cover Clinton 20735 and the rest of Prince George’s County?+
