If the inspection finds nothing wrong, we'll put that in writing — and the photo report is still yours to keep. No obligation, ever.
Quick answer: Roofing is priced per square — 100 sq ft of roof area — and your number is set by the squares your roof measures, its pitch, the layers already up there, the decking underneath and the access. most roofs are finished in one day, and United Developers starts every job with a free 24-hour inspection and photo report.

Typical DMV ranges from real jobs and industry repair data. Every season of delay moves you further down this list.
Granule loss becomes leaks
Shingles past year 18–20 shed granules, crack, and lift. The first leak rarely shows on a ceiling until water has been sitting in the decking for months.
Typical decking repair add-on: $1,500–$4,000Decking rot spreads silently
Wet plywood and OSB lose structural strength fast. What a straightforward re-roof would have covered turns into carpentry, insulation, and drywall work.
Interior + structural damage: $8,000–$25,000Insurance walks away
Maryland carriers increasingly decline to renew policies on roofs past 20 years — and deny wear-related claims outright once one fails.
Non-renewal or denied claim: the full cost lands on youYour sale price takes the hit
A failed roof note on a buyer's inspection is the classic closing-table renegotiation — and buyers routinely ask for more than the roof actually costs.
Typical closing credit demanded: $10,000–$20,000These are typical ranges, not quotes — your free inspection report shows exactly where your roof stands, in dated photos.
The system, not just the shingles
GAF Timberline HDZ standard
LayerLock technology, StainGuard Plus algae protection, and eligibility for GAF's WindProven limited wind warranty — no maximum wind speed. Only factory-certified contractors can register it, and most roofers in the DMV aren't.
Every code item, every time
Full tear-off, synthetic underlayment, ice-and-water shield in valleys and eaves to Maryland code, drip edge, starter strip, ridge cap, new pipe boots, and balanced attic ventilation — the line items cheap bids quietly skip.
One-day installs, clean exits
Most full replacements finish in a single day. Magnetic nail sweep of the lawn and driveway before the crew leaves, dated photo documentation start to finish, and a project manager you can actually reach.
Built for your roof, not a one-size catalog
Architectural shingles
GAF Timberline HDZ in the full color range, with matching ridge cap and starter — the workhorse for pitched DMV roofs, balancing 30+ year lifespan, curb appeal, and value.
Metal & designer profiles
Standing-seam and screw-down metal for homeowners who want a 40-70 year roof, plus designer/luxury shingle lines for steep-slope showpiece elevations.
Flat & low-slope systems
TPO and EPDM membranes for porches, additions, and flat sections — properly seamed and flashed where most leaks actually start.
| System | Relative cost | Expected life | Best for | Warranty we register |
|---|---|---|---|---|
| 3-tab asphalt (builder-grade) | We quote it honestly and rarely recommend it | 15–20 years | Rentals and short-horizon budgets — we quote it honestly, but rarely recommend it | Limited material warranty; 2-yr workmanship |
| GAF Timberline HDZ (architectural asphalt) | Our standard system — quoted off a measurement | 30+ years | Most pitched DMV homes — best value per year of roof life | Lifetime limited material + WindProven; 2-yr workmanship |
| Designer / luxury shingles (GAF Camelot-class) | A step up from our standard system | 30+ years | Steep-slope showpiece elevations, slate and shake looks without the weight | Lifetime limited material; 2-yr workmanship |
| Standing-seam metal (24-gauge) | Roughly twice asphalt, for two to three times the life | 40–70 years | Forever homes, modern elevations, heavy snow shed | Long-term finish warranty; 2-yr workmanship |
| TPO / EPDM membrane (flat & low-slope) | Priced per square foot of flat area | 20–30 years | Porches, additions, townhome flat sections | Manufacturer membrane warranty; 2-yr workmanship |

That's a different playbook

Same house. Same angle. New roof.
Drag the handle — or just watch — to see what replacing a worn 20-year-old 3-tab roof with architectural shingles does for a home. This is the difference one day with our crew makes.
Visualization of a typical 3-tab → architectural upgrade. Your project gets real, dated photos in the 20+ photo condition report.
The work, up close
Actual United Developers projects across Maryland — 650+ completed since 2005. Not stock photos.
From first call to registered warranty — the whole job, in order
No mystery phases, no disappearing crews. This is the exact sequence every United Developers roof replacement follows, whether it's a Bethesda colonial or a Silver Spring rambler.
The 20-point inspection, typically within 24 hours
A certified estimator walks the roof and the attic side, then hands you a 20+ photo report — every slope, penetration, and soft spot, time-stamped. If the roof is fine, that goes in writing too. Not ready for a visit? Start with a free roof check from your couch.
Day 1 · FreeMaterials, color & a fixed price
You pick from the full GAF Timberline HDZ color range — or step up to designer shingles or metal — and get one exact, written number. No allowances, no "call for pricing." $0-down financing with terms from 12 to 180 months (on approved credit) turns it into a monthly payment if you'd rather not write the check.
Same weekTear-off & install day
Landscaping tarped, old roof stripped to the deck, decking repaired where needed — then the full code system goes on: synthetic underlayment, ice-and-water shield, drip edge, starter strip, ridge vent, new pipe boots. Most homes are watertight again the same evening.
Usually one dayMagnet sweep & final walkthrough
The crew runs magnetic sweeps across the lawn, beds, and driveway for stray nails, hauls every scrap of debris, and the project manager walks the finished roof with you against dated completion photos before anyone calls it done.
Before we leaveWarranty registration, filed for you
As a GAF Certified contractor we register your lifetime limited material coverage — including WindProven eligibility most roofers can't offer — and put our 2-year workmanship warranty on paper with our MHIC licence number on it.
In writingCredentials on paper, not just on the truck
Family-owned and operating across Maryland since 2005. Every contract carries our license numbers, every crew is GAF Certified, and every job is backed in writing.
Most $15,000 roofs started as $500 problems
A lifted shingle, a cracked pipe boot, sealant past its service life — caught in an annual inspection, they're minor line items. Ignored, they become decking rot, insulation replacement, and drywall repair. That's why the 20-point inspection is free: catching problems early is cheaper for you and easier for us. It's a $400 service. You pay nothing, and you keep the dated photo report either way.

How long does a roof replacement take?
Most full residential roof replacements by United Developers are completed in one day, weather permitting.
What roofing materials do you install?
GAF Timberline HDZ architectural shingles standard, plus metal (standing seam and screw-down), and flat/low-slope TPO and EPDM systems.
Is the inspection really free?
Yes — free, within 24 hours, with a photo report you keep either way. No obligation.
What warranty comes with a new roof?
Lifetime limited material coverage on GAF shingles plus a 2-year United Developers workmanship warranty. As a GAF Certified contractor we can register enhanced manufacturer warranties most roofers cannot.
What does a roof replacement cost in Maryland?
What it comes to is set by your roof rather than by the town: the squares it measures, the pitch, how many layers are already up there, the decking underneath and the access. standing-seam metal and flat membrane systems price differently. Your free inspection produces an exact fixed price — or the instant online quote gives you a 60-second ballpark.
Will insurance cover my roof replacement in Maryland?
Only if the damage came from a covered event — wind, hail, or fallen limbs — rather than age. Insurance-claim roofing is its own process with filing deadlines, dated documentation, and an adjuster meeting, and we handle it end to end on our storm restoration page. If your roof is simply worn out, we'll say so — and quote the replacement honestly instead of chasing a claim that will be denied.
How do I compare roof replacement quotes near me?
Line by line. A real quote names the shingle (not "architectural shingles"), and prices tear-off, ice-and-water shield, drip edge, ventilation, and decking repair separately — the items cheap bids omit and charge for later. Our Bethesda cost guide breaks down what each line should run in Montgomery County, so you can hold any roofer's number — including ours — up to the light.
Can I finance a new roof with $0 down?
Yes. Approved homeowners can spread a roof replacement across 12 to 180 months with nothing down, which usually lands the payment near a utility bill. Details are on the financing page, and the pre-check during your free inspection takes minutes without affecting your credit.
Free inspection. Real photos. A real number.
Within 24 hours, anywhere in Maryland. You keep the photo report either way.
