A roof is not just shingles. It is a system. Deck, ice and water shield, synthetic underlayment, drip edge, starter strip, field shingles, ridge cap, and ventilation. Skip any layer and the whole thing fails early.
We install every layer to manufacturer spec. That is how you get a full warranty, not a partial one.
6 steps from tear-off to cleanup. Every job follows this process.
Tear-Off: Every layer comes off down to the deck
Deck Inspection: We check every board for rot and damage
Underlayment: Ice and water shield goes on before shingles
Install: New shingles go on row by row, hand-nailed
Finished: Clean lines, no mess, ready for final walkthrough
Cleanup: Magnetic sweep, debris hauled, yard inspection
Vulnerable to severe thunderstorms moving up from the south and Chesapeake Bay nor'easters. Summer storms bring heavy rain and wind. Hail events less frequent than western MD but still common enough to cause roof and siding damage.
Woodlawn is a residential area near the Beltway in central PG County with a mix of garden apartments and small brick ramblers from the 1960s. The community sits along the Route 202 corridor. Housing density is moderate with both rental and owner-occupied properties.
Most homes in Woodlawn were built around 1969. At that age, most original roofs have been replaced at least once - and many are overdue.
FEATHERFALL serves all neighborhoods in Woodlawn including Woodlawn, Woodlawn Village.
If your roof inspection issue was caused by wind, hail, a fallen tree, or another covered event, your homeowner's insurance may pay for the repair or replacement. The key is documenting the damage correctly before you file.

Better answers than a Magic 8 Ball
A thorough roof inspection from a certified inspector in Woodlawn typically costs between $150 and $400. The price depends on the size of the roof and how detailed the report is. Be cautious of "free inspections" because they usually come with a sales pitch attached. You get what you pay for when it comes to honest answers about your roof.
Many of them are. The company offers a free look at your roof, then tells you it needs a full replacement whether it does or not. They make money by selling jobs, not by giving honest assessments. An independent certified inspector who charges a fee has no financial reason to exaggerate the damage. FEATHERFALL's Flight Plan inspection is performed by a HAAG Certified Master Level inspector and gives you a written report of what your roof actually needs.
Many insurance companies in Maryland now require a roof certification or inspection before they will renew a policy on older homes. The age cutoff varies by carrier, but 15 to 20 years is common. If your roof fails the inspection, you may have a limited window to make repairs before the policy is dropped. Call your insurance agent to find out your carrier's specific requirements.
A proper inspection covers the shingles, flashing, vents, boots, gutters, soffit, fascia, attic ventilation, and the condition of the decking underneath. The inspector should check for granule loss, cracking, lifted shingles, rust on metal components, and any signs of past water intrusion in the attic. If someone just walks the roof for five minutes and gives you a number, that is not an inspection.
A general home inspector checks the roof as one item on a long list, and most are not trained to catch the subtle signs of storm damage or premature failure. They can tell you the roof looks old, but they usually cannot tell you why it is failing or how much life is left. A HAAG Certified Master Level inspector, like the ones at FEATHERFALL, is specifically trained in damage assessment and lifespan evaluation.
Yes, because most roof damage does not cause a visible leak right away. Wind can loosen shingles, hail can crack them, and flashing can fail long before water reaches your ceiling. By the time you see a stain inside the house, the damage has been building for months. A yearly inspection catches problems while they are still cheap to fix.
A 4-point inspection looks at four systems: roof, electrical, plumbing, and HVAC. Insurance companies use it to decide if they will insure the home. It does cover the roof, but not in the same detail as a standalone roof inspection. The 4-point tells the insurer the roof's age and general condition. A full roof inspection tells you exactly what is wrong and what needs fixing.
Because many contractors have a financial incentive to find damage, whether it is there or not. Insurance companies want reports from inspectors who do not also sell the repair work. That is why third-party certifications matter. A report from a HAAG Certified inspector carries weight with insurance adjusters because HAAG is an independent organization that trains inspectors to an industry standard.
