Metal roofs, shingle roofs and honest repairs for Bowie, MD homeowners. Family owned since 2002, and estimates are always free.
Metal roofing is our specialty, but shingles, gutters, soffit and leak work all get the same attention in Bowie.
Standing seam and metal panel roofs, measured and cut on site. We help you settle on a color, set the panels straight, and trim the ridge and valleys so the whole roof sheds water the way it should.
Water runs along decking and rafters before it ever drips, so the stain is rarely under the hole. We trace the leak back to where it really starts and fix that.
A replacement is a big spend and it should feel orderly. We schedule around dry weather, work in the right order, and never leave a house open overnight.
Low slope roofs fail at the joints and around anything that sticks through them. That is where we start, not out in the middle of the field.
Small repairs get the same crew and the same care as a full roof. Free estimate, a price in writing, and the work done before the next rain moves in.
Backed out screws, split washers, rust starting at a seam, a panel lifted at the eave. These are our roofs, and most of the time a repair is all it takes.
Temporary cover goes on fast, then we come back and make the permanent repair once we can see properly what we are working with.
Rotted fascia and sagging soffit let water and animals in behind the roof edge. We cut the bad wood out and put new in.
Reflective coatings keep a metal roof cooler in summer and seal up the small stuff before it turns into a leak.
Metal, shingle and low slope work on buildings where a leak costs you more than a wet ceiling. Free estimates, same as anywhere else.
A skylight has to be woven into the roof, not caulked to it. That is the difference between a fix that lasts a season and one that holds.
The layer you never see is what keeps water out on the ugly days. We do not thin it out to save a few dollars on a bid.
Missing shingles get matched as close as weathering allows. Loose metal gets new fasteners and washers, and the eaves, rakes and ridge get sealed back up tight.
Slate and tile take patience and matching pieces. We replace broken and slipped units and rework the flashing they hide.
We repair what the storm actually broke. If that is one slope, we do one slope, and we will not pad an estimate to make a claim look bigger.
A shingle repair should not be visible from the street. We match as close as the weathering allows and blend the new work into the old.
Guards installed as part of a roof job or on their own. Either way we check the hangers and the pitch while we are up there.
Buying, selling, or just want to know how many years you have left? We look, we tell you, and we do not turn it into a pitch for a roof you do not need.
Hail bruises shingles and dents the softer metal on vents, valleys and gutters. We show you what we find and document it properly for the claim.
Steam and hand work, never a hammer and chisel on your roof. Then we check the eaves for the damage the ice already did.
We keep it simple in Bowie: a free estimate on site, a written price, a start date we hold to, and a job site you would not mind your neighbors seeing. Our crews have been doing metal and shingle roofs this way for more than twenty years.
Roofing is loud and dusty and there is no getting around that, but it does not have to be a mess. In Bowie we cover what needs covering, haul the tear off away as we go, and leave the yard the way we found it.
Here is what Bowie homeowners tell us makes the difference.
The same family started this company putting metal roofs on neighbors houses in 2002. It has never been sold, franchised or handed off to a call center.
A few backed out screws or a whole roof off a church — we take both. No job is too small to get the same crew and the same care.
Around twenty standard metal colors, and the chart comes out with the estimate so you can hold it up against your siding and shutters before you commit.
Somebody comes out, measures, gets on the roof, and leaves you a written price. No charge, no obligation, and no number that expires if you do not sign today.
You get a start date and we hold to it. If weather moves your job we call you, rather than leaving you watching the driveway.
The questions that come up on just about every estimate we write.
We do. After a storm we photograph the damage on your Bowie roof and write an itemized estimate you can hand to your adjuster. We do not file the claim for you and we will not promise you what an adjuster is going to approve — that is their call, not ours.
Much less than people expect. Over solid decking with underlayment under it, a Bowie metal roof sounds about like a shingle roof from inside the house. The loud tin roof people remember was screwed straight to open purlins over a barn with nothing underneath.
Often, yes. Plenty of the Bowie roofs we get called to look at need flashing reworked or a section refastened, not a whole new roof. We will tell you honestly which one you are looking at, and if it is repairable we would rather repair it.
That is most of what leak work is. Water runs along decking and rafters before it ever drips, so the stain on your Bowie ceiling is rarely under the actual hole. We work back to the real entry point, fix that, and check the rest of the roof while we are up there.
A typical Bowie shingle roof runs roughly $8,000 to $18,000 in 2026 for an average single family home, and more if the deck has rot or the roof is steep and cut up with dormers. We do not price off a satellite photo — somebody comes out and measures.
Sometimes. If the decking is sound and there is only one layer of shingles, a Bowie metal roof can go over the top on purlins. If there is rot underneath or two layers already on, we tear off first — and we will tell you that before you sign, not halfway through.
