Whether you are dealing with storm damage, aging shingles, or a roof that has reached the end of its service life, we give you a clear path forward.

When is it time to Replace my Roof?
Ideally, you should consider roofing replacement after 15 to 20 years. If you notice mold, algae formation, damaged shingles, granule loss, or issues with flashing or cement, it is time to call a roofing replacement contractor in Maryland right away.
Can you place just a section of Roof?
In some cases, a partial roof installation or section repair is possible, particularly for localized storm damage. However, if your roof is over 15 years old or damage is widespread, a full roofing replacement is usually the more cost-effective long-term choice. JLG Builds will assess your roof and give you an honest recommendation.
Do I need to replace the ceiling after the leak?
Yes, even a small leak can cause extensive damage. It can affect paint, plaster, and even the structural integrity of your walls. Leaks can also damage ceiling fans, lighting fixtures, rafters, ceiling joists, and exterior trim.
How do you know your roofing contractor is legal?
Your roofing replacement contractor should have all their legal documents and authorizations. Ask for their practice license, insurance, etc. A legitimate roofing company is typically bonded, which protects you in case of any issues during the project. JLG Builds is fully licensed and insured to provide roofing services across Maryland.
Can I replace my roof myself?
While there are many DIY tutorials for roof installation and roofing replacement, it’s not recommended. Roofing is a critical, complicated task that requires professional experience, skill, and tools. Hiring a professional roofer ensures quality and safety, and prevents costly mistakes.
How much does a roof replacement cost?
Roof replacement cost varies from home to home, so the most accurate answer comes from an on-site assessment. Several factors affect the final price:
- The size and pitch of your roof
- The roofing material you select
- The condition of the existing decking once the old roof is removed
- The number of layers being torn off
- Flashing, ventilation, and other components that may need replacement
- Access and complexity of the roof design
Should I stay home during a roof replacement?
You do not need to stay home for a roof replacement, though many homeowners choose to be present at the start of the project. The work happens on the exterior, so your daily routine inside the home is usually not interrupted.
How do I get insurance to pay for a roof replacement?
Whether a roof replacement is covered depends on your policy and your insurer, and coverage decisions are made by the insurance company, not by your contractor. In general, homeowners who believe storm or sudden damage may be covered.
What Our Clients are Saying
I recently had my roof repaired by James L. Graves Construction. I called for an estimate and they came out promptly. Their assessment of my roof repair was thorough and their estimate was reasonable and comprehensive. Because of pending rain, they asked if they come a day early. I was impressed. They did an excellent job on my roof as well as repairing the bay window metal roofing. My nephew who has a roofing company in Georgia was visiting the next weekend and said they did an excellent job and was very thorough in providing me with quality materials. I am very happy to have chosen a reliable and professional company. Bryan, who oversaw everything, was a pleasure to work with.

Jim Graves has been our contractor for the past 10+ years as we have, section by section, torn down and rebuilt our 1950's home. He has always been on time and on budget. The thing that is hard to describe that Jim brings to the job is his eye--time after time his suggestions and creative problem solving have led to solutions that we love. His is picky and the work is alway top notch.

James L. Graves Construction did a fantastic job replacing the siding, gutters, and shutters on my home in Crofton. The job was completed quickly, professionally, and our home looks brand new again. I would highly recommend.
