Prince George's County MD Roofing & Exterior Contractor Serving Bowie, Upper Marlboro, Hyattsville & the I-495 Corridor.

JDH Remodeling is a HAAG Master Certified, Owens Corning Platinum Preferred, James Hardie Elite Preferred, ProVia Platinum contractor serving every town in Prince George's County. Our office is in St. Leonard, MD, 60 minutes south of Upper Marlboro. We hold 4.9 stars across 1,400+ Google reviews, have been family-owned for three generations since 1986, and carry MHIC #137491 (MD) + VA Class A #2705192986 + $8M liability. No other PG County contractor stacks all four credentials: Golden Eagle Roofing holds HAAG Master only, Brax Roofing holds Owens Corning Platinum only, and SNAP, Goshanco, and Wells Home Improvements hold no equivalent stack. We are not a Beltway-area corporate chain and not a 5-year-old in-county LLC. We ship from St. Leonard, drive to your home, run a single-visit HAAG inspection, and never ask you to come to a sales office.

Most Prince George's County homes (1,800 to 2,400 sq ft of roof surface) run $9,500 to $16,500 for a full Owens Corning Platinum system in 2026. Smaller inside-the-Beltway 1940s through 1960s streetcar-suburb bungalows and Cape Cods across Hyattsville, Mount Rainier, Riverdale Park, and Cheverly, along with the original 1960s Bowie New Town ramblers, start around $7,500. Larger 2-story production-builder colonials across Bowie, Upper Marlboro, Brandywine, Clinton, and Mitchellville run $12,000 to $18,000. Upper Marlboro estate corridor properties and Fort Washington Potomac riverfront homes can reach $14,000 to $22,000. Siding runs $12,000 to $35,000 for James Hardie; ProVia windows run $850 to $1,400 each installed.

They differ in nearly every dimension. Inside the Beltway (Hyattsville Bungalow District, Mount Rainier, Riverdale Park, Brentwood, Cheverly, Capitol Heights) is 1940s through 1960s housing stock. Smaller 1,200 to 1,800 sq ft footprints, often original cedar-shake decking beneath three or four asphalt re-roof generations, narrow setbacks, historic-district paperwork in Hyattsville and Mount Rainier, period-appropriate shingle profiles, and typically partial decking replacement on every job. Outside the Beltway (1960s Bowie New Town, 1990s through 2010s Bowie, Upper Marlboro, Brandywine, Clinton, Mitchellville production builds, 2010s Largo and Landover townhomes) is larger 2,000 to 3,200 sq ft footprints, OSB decking, original architectural shingles 15 to 25 years old right inside the OEM replacement window, HOA color-match jurisdictions, and frequent ridge-vent retrofits where Pulte or NVR shorted ventilation. Different decking spec, different shingle profile, different price band, different paperwork. A contractor that quotes both the same way isn't reading your house.

Yes. The July 6, 2022 EF-1 tornado touched down at 5:31 PM EDT one mile north of Bowie with peak winds of 90 mph and a damage path 125 yards wide. Structural damage was concentrated along the path, but wind-lifted ridge caps, uplifted vent boots, and granular loss extend outward several miles in any direction from the touchdown point. The most common signatures we still find on Bowie roofs from the September 2024 event are: lifted or missing ridge cap shingles on the north slope; vent boots cracked at the rubber collar; granular accumulation in gutters and at downspout outflows above what a normal weather year would produce; and uplifted starter strips at gable ends. Most insurance carriers will still honor a claim for documented Sept 5, 2024 tornado damage if filed inside the carrier's policy window (usually 1 to 2 years). JDH inspects post-tornado for free and documents to insurance-grade standard.

Sometimes, yes. Prince George's County has tidal shoreline along the Patuxent River (east), the Potomac River (south), and the Anacostia River and its tributaries (west and north), plus Mattawoman Creek headwaters in southern PG. Properties within 1,000 ft of tidal mean high water fall inside the Chesapeake Bay Critical Area Overlay Zone (CBCAO), administered jointly by the Prince George's County Department of Permitting, Inspections and Enforcement (DPIE) and the Prince George's County Planning Department / M-NCPPC. Communities most affected include Fort Washington, Oxon Hill, Bladensburg, Colmar Manor, Cottage City along the Anacostia, and shoreline parcels along the Patuxent in the southeast county. Like-for-like roof or siding replacement generally proceeds without additional review. Changes to impervious surface (adding gutters where none existed, modifying roof footprint), vegetation removal, or any addition to the building envelope can trigger county review. JDH files Critical Area paperwork on your behalf when required.

This is the homeowner we built our process around. NASA Goddard researchers in Greenbelt, UMD academics in College Park, Joint Base Andrews staff in Camp Springs, USDA scientists in Beltsville, and FDA staff at White Oak are the typical Prince George's County federal-research household, and our entire model assumes you cannot take a weekday off for a roof project. We run inspections early morning before you head to campus, in the evening when you are back, or on Saturdays. Our HAAG-certified inspector comes to you with the truck stocked, photographs the full exterior in 60 to 90 minutes, and emails a written report (with photo set, scope of work, and pricing) inside 24 hours. We do not require you to be home for the actual install. Tear-off and re-roof on most homes runs 1 to 2 days, completed while you are at the campus. We text photos at the end of each day. Final walk happens whenever your schedule allows, including weekends. We do not knock doors, we do not run a high-pressure showroom appointment, and we do not waste your time.

JDH responds within 24 hours of any major Prince George's County storm. Our HAAG Master Certified inspector conducts a 47-point inspection, photographs damage at the angle adjusters need to see, and produces a written Xactimate-formatted scope of loss. We can walk the inspection with your insurance adjuster on the day they arrive. Most PG County claims settle in 9 to 21 days when documented this way. Recent county storm events we documented: July 6, 2022 EF-1 tornado one mile north of Bowie (90 mph peak winds, 125-yard path); August 4, 2020 Tropical Storm Isaias tornado outbreak across the NWS LWX region; Hurricane Sandy (Oct 2012) wind across the I-495 corridor; Hurricane Isabel (Sept 2003) which remains the benchmark Potomac-side wind event. Bowie, Upper Marlboro, and the I-495 corridor see the highest claim density in the county after named events.

Yes. Prince George's County requires a building permit for any roof replacement, including like-for-like asphalt shingle re-roofs. JDH files the permit on your behalf at the Prince George's County Department of Permitting, Inspections and Enforcement (DPIE) at 9400 Peppercorn Place, Largo, MD 20774 (main 301-636-2000; Permit Center 301-636-2050). We submit via the county ePermits online portal, and the DPIE staff knows our license number. We schedule the final inspection at job completion and provide the closed permit document for your records. The permit fee is included in our written quote. Homes inside the Chesapeake Bay Critical Area Overlay or in a Hyattsville or Mount Rainier historic district may require additional review; we handle that paperwork at no charge.

Same day or next morning in most cases. Our office is in St. Leonard, MD. Drive times from HQ: 60 minutes to Upper Marlboro and Brandywine; 65 minutes to Clinton, Fort Washington, and southern Bowie; 70 to 80 minutes to Hyattsville, College Park, Greenbelt, Beltsville, and Laurel in the inside-Beltway and northern county. A morning call almost always becomes a same-day or next-morning inspection, with a written quote in your inbox the next business day. We offer early-morning, evening, and Saturday inspection slots because the typical Prince George's County homeowner is either commuting locally to a federal-research campus during business hours or works a non-traditional schedule. Storm response after a confirmed wind or hail event (or after a tornado like the July 6, 2022 Bowie event) is same-day or first-thing next morning. We do not subcontract inspections.

No. Prince George's County gets canvassed by out-of-state storm-chasers every spring, and Bowie, Upper Marlboro, and the I-495 corridor subdivisions are favorite targets, recently after the July 6, 2022 Bowie EF-1 tornado and the August 4, 2020 Tropical Storm Isaias outbreak. They typically offer to handle your insurance claim for a deposit, then disappear, sub the work to the cheapest crew available, or leave town before the warranty matters. Maryland has an active 3-day right of rescission on door-to-door contracts. A legitimate contractor will give you a written quote, leave it with you, and call back next week, not pressure you to sign on the porch. JDH does not knock doors. Ever. If someone tells you they are with JDH at your door, they are not.

Yes. The Owens Corning Platinum Protection Limited Lifetime Warranty transfers one time to a new homeowner. James Hardie's 30-year non-prorated substrate warranty also transfers. This matters a lot in Prince George's County for two reasons: federal-research households at NASA Goddard, Joint Base Andrews, and UMD often relocate inside a 5 to 7 year window on PCS, research-grant cycles, or academic moves; and multi-generational heritage homes in Hyattsville, Mount Rainier, Bowie, and the older Upper Marlboro neighborhoods often pass between family members at sale or inheritance. JDH handles the transfer paperwork at no charge. If your buyer's lender (VA, FHA, conventional) requires a pre-sale roof certification, we provide that for a flat fee, usually turned around inside a week to keep your closing timeline intact.

Yes. JDH offers financing through Foundation Finance, Service Finance, Hearth, and Synchrony. A $14,500 roof replacement at 9.99% APR over 60 months runs approximately $308 per month. No deposit is required when financing through an approved provider. JDH uses a soft credit pull for pre-qualification, and there is no prepayment penalty.
