What a roof actually costs in Lanham
In Lanham, architectural shingle runs about $850 to $1,150 per roofing square (100 sq ft) installed, which puts a typical Lanham single-family roof around $20,500–$27,500. We publish this because a contractor who will not talk about money until they are standing in your kitchen is managing you, not quoting you.
These are planning ranges from our published price book, not quotes, and they will vary — sometimes well outside the range. Roof pitch, the number of existing layers to tear off, deck condition found once the shingles are off, chimney/skylight/wall flashing, ventilation brought up to code, gutter and fascia work, and site access all move the number. A roof measured at 24 squares that turns out to have two layers and rotten sheathing is a different job than the one the range describes. The only accurate figure is a written line-item estimate after a free measured inspection. Get an instant online estimate →

What we actually find on Lanham roofs
Lanham is mostly 1950s through 1970s single-family housing with later infill, inside the Beltway's outer ring in Prince George's County.
Roofs of this vintage in Lanham are frequently on their second or third covering, and layovers — a new layer nailed straight over the old — were common practice here. A layover hides whatever the decking was doing, and you do not find that out from a photograph.
Low-slope porch and carport tie-ins are everywhere in this housing stock, and shingles laid on a slope too shallow for them is the most common defect found on inspection. It is not a fault of the last crew's workmanship; it is the wrong material for that plane.
Prince George's DPIE is a separate authority from Montgomery's DPS with its own process, and contractors who work mostly on the Montgomery side do not always know the difference.

What does a new roof cost in Lanham?
In Lanham, architectural shingle runs about $850 to $1,150 per roofing square (100 sq ft) installed, which puts a typical Lanham single-family roof around $20,500–$27,500. That is a planning range from our published price book, not a quote — the real number comes off a measurement and an inspection, because pitch, layers to tear off, deck condition, chimney and skylight flashing, and how much of the roof a crew can reach from the ground all move it.
Who pulls the roofing permit in Lanham?
Roof replacement in Lanham is permitted through Prince George's County DPIE (301-636-2050). We pull it, we schedule the inspection, and the permit number is on your contract — you should never be asked to pull your own roofing permit.
Is the Lanham roof inspection really free?
Yes. The inspection and the 20+ photo damage report are free and yours to keep whether or not you hire us. No inspection fee, no consultation invoice, and if your roof does not need work we will tell you that.
Will insurance cover my Lanham roof?
If your roof has storm, hail or wind damage, your policy may cover a replacement — on an approved claim your deductible is typically your out-of-pocket cost. We document the damage, provide a line-item estimate, and meet your adjuster on-site. We are a roofing contractor, not a public adjuster, and we do not negotiate your claim for you.
