Md Roof Inspection and Estimate: This house in New Carrollton, Maryland has two layers of existing shingles and needs a new roof.  We're here to make a thorough roof inspection, detailed analysis, and "unbeatable" roof estimate.

• Granule loss, as above.
• Exposure of the fiberglass base material, as above indicates depletion of asphalt in the shingles -- just plain "worn out".
• Curling, cracking, distortion of shingles.
• Shingles no longer sealing together.
• Missing shingles, flashings, etc.
• Excessive staining or discoloration of shingles.
• Visible leaks inside the home.

 Subroofing Plywood Inspection and/or Replacement:  Sometimes, even when I go into the attic to make an inspection, it can be hard to tell exactly where there may be a subroofing issue.  I can usually predict with 99% accuracy (based on my 30+ years of home roofing experience) when and where there are problems -- just by trial and error testing and observing the roofing surface from the exterior. 

I'll give you a "square foot price" for replacing questionable plywood and then document what was found with "before-during-after" pictures posted on your webpage . . . to give you the "veification" that you got the plywood replacement  you expected.

 Pipe Collar Replacement: All existing pipe collars are replaced with new neoprene and aluminum units, and sealed with Geocel to guard against wind driven rains.  Here's an example of a typical md pipe collar replacement.

 Fan Vent Flashing Replacement: Old fan housings are ALWAYS replaced with new aluminum units and then sealed with Geocel Tripolymer Sealant.  By replacing old flashings with new units, the possibility of overlooking "hairline cracks" and other potential future leaks is completely eliminated.

 Chimney Flashing Replacement:  All chimney flashings are ALWAYS replaced with new custom formed aluminum flashings that we make "on site" with our fancy sheet metal brake.  Flashings are then sealed with Geocel Tripolymer Sealant -- the best and longest lasting sealant on the market (we feel, anyway).  Click this link to see more about our professional chimney flashing replacement.

 Chimney Crown Repair or Replacement: This is an area that is overlooked by  I'd guess maybe 99% of all roofing estimators -- but not by us!  Click this link to see before and after examples of our chimney crown replacement.

 Proper Attic Ventilation for better insulation, lower energy bills,  and a longer lasting roof:  We almost always recommend ridge vents by Air-Vent (a Certainteed Company) where increased ventilation is necessary.  Click here to evaluate metal ridge vents vs. "shingle over" vents by Air-Vent. 

By keeping your roof cooler during the summer, and by removing unwanted moisture all year 'round (something most attic fans just can't do), you'll be getting the best protection possible . . . and you'll eliminate paying for wasting energy! 

A truly "GREEN" Energy Saving Product:

Our Integrated Drip Edge/WinterGuard System below, installed on EVERY Home Restorations new roof. Completely Eliminates "Ice Dams" and helps Preserve the Plywood Subroofing and Fascia Boards at the Gutter Edge.  Your gutters will perform better too!

 Custom 6" Drip Edge and "Ice-and-Water-Shield" for Greater Protection at the Gutter Line (critical area):

Our full 6" aluminum drip edge is Home Restorations' custom-made solution for greater eave edge protection.  "Store-bought" drip edge is only about 1-1/2" wide; our 6" aluminum upgrade offers 400% more protection by providing 4 times the surface area for the ice-and-water-shield product to permanently adhere to -- virtually eliminating wood rot at your roof's most vulnerable spot -- the gutter edge. 

You'll find this type of protection on every roof we install. Click this link for more information about our custom drip edge system. 

 Synthetic Underlayment for a Better Roofing System: You deserve an upgrade to Berger UDL Titanium Synthetic Underlayment (instead of traditional asphalt roofing tarpaper) because it's actually good enough to waterproof your home without the shingles! 

With a 25 year warranty and superior mold resistance, it's our preference by far --  and just another way to extent the protection of your home.
