Roof Replacement in Maryland & Southern PA
GAF Master Elite Certification
300+ 5-Star Reviews
Accredited and A+
The typical roof of a family home lasts for about 15 years.
Once this milestone is reached, it may be time to consider a full roof replacement.
As an addendum, certain areas with different climates have longer-lasting roofs, while others have roofs that need replacing more frequently.
This means that you will probably need to replace your roof more than once as a homeowner.
When that time comes, it will certainly help to have a competent roofing company by your side.
How Do I Find the Right Roofing Contractor?
Finding the right roofing contractor in Maryland can be a test of patience.
Where should you look, and who should you consult if you find yourself facing this challenge?
We recommend reaching out to other homeowners in your neighborhood, your friends or business colleagues who can point you to potential roofing contractors they have worked with before.
Another thing that can help you is to know whether your roof is insured.
If it is, then you can replace it for free, and the roofing company you hire will be the one collaborating with your insurance company.
As a company specializing in all-inclusive roof replacement services in Maryland, AC Matthews should be your top choice.

How Do We Replace Roofs?
In order to display full transparency, check out the following quick guide we’ve put together regarding our roof replacement process.
Call our number, send us an email, or fill out our online form to schedule an appointment for a roof inspection. We’ll get back to you within 24 hours and set a date to drive out to your area!
Once our team arrives, we get to work. We conduct a full, comprehensive investigation to determine if you need a full roof replacement or just a few minor repairs. As well as your roof, we check your home's interior and attic for any signs of roof related damage.
In order to develop an effective replacement plan, our roofers first need to determine what sort of roofing material they’re working with, as well as what products and tools will be needed for a smooth roof replacement.
All debris is cleared and the area around your home cordoned off to ensure a safe environment for the contractors to begin working.
The brunt of the work is completed at this stage. The entire roof is removed and discarded. We make sure to strip everything down to the roof decking in preparation for your new roof.
Before installing your new roof, an underlayment is placed on top of the roof decking. This important layer helps keep your roof and wood decking waterproof. After the underlayment is in place, our contractors begin installing your new roof. The length of time for installation will depend on the size of your home and the materials being used.
Finishing with a flourish, our team makes sure to seal and secure your new roof in order to maximize its durability and lifespan. We conduct one final inspection to make sure everything is up to our standard and to code.
At AC Matthews, we stand behind our work. Once a replacement has been installed, we follow up with you to ensure everything is performing as expected. Once we make sure that our work meets our high standard of quality, the job is considered finished.
Most roof replacements in Maryland can be done within a week or less. So don’t hesitate when it comes to lack of time–contact us today and let’s get you a new roof!

Real Customer Reviews
Posted on Google Ben Denne Great to work with. Very competent. Excellent at keeping the work area clean. Fantastic outcome.Posted on Google Frank Turano ⭐⭐⭐⭐⭐ Excellent Roofing Company — Highly Recommend! Total roof replacement on steep three-pitched story home. I could not be happier with the outstanding job Ramon and his team did on our roof. From beginning to end, the entire experience was excellent. They were on schedule, on budget, and there were no surprise or extra charges. Ramon, our sales representative/project manager, was professional, knowledgeable, responsive, and a pleasure to work with. His crew showed up on time, worked hard all day, and clearly took pride in their work. The finished roof looks fantastic. Just as impressive was how carefully the crew cleaned up afterward. They left our property absolutely immaculate, with no debris or mess left behind. I received five different estimates, and their price was more competitive than the others while still providing excellent quality, workmanship, and service. This was truly a 5-star experience from start to finish. If you are looking for a roofing company that is dependable, professional, fairly priced, and delivers excellent results, I highly recommend Roman and his team! Frank August 2026Posted on Google Tina B. We obtained 3 estimates from 3 contractors. Prices were comparable, but we liked the time Ryan Mckibbon spent with us in person to educate us on options and the best choice for our home. He personally covered a leaking spot on our roof until the roof could be repaired. He answered questions timely and oversaw the entire process. Our roof has been seriously tested with all the rain these last two weeks. All is well. We are very pleased.Posted on Google Christa Wilcox Matthew is a stand up guy who does stand up work! Thank you again! :)Posted on Google Molly Reed- Baltimore & Saratoga Springs I needed a quick fix for flashing on my roof in downtown Baltimore and Ryan was quick to come out, gave me a reasonable quote, and then fixed it promptly. The whole process was easy and enjoyable. Thanks to the AC Matthews team!Posted on Google Mrs. W We were initially referred to AC Matthews Roofing by the Pro Referral program through Home Depot, which only refers vetted, licensed and background checked professionals. It has been great working with AC Matthews and Ramon especially. We have a rather unique roof that needed replacement, it was double layered in portions and not in others which was standard practice in previous decades. It is an additional complication for repairs and it was reaching the end of its lifespan. From the first meeting with Ramon of AC Matthews, it was a great experience. He was thorough and precise. He inspected to determine which parts of our roof had double layers and which parts didn’t, a situation some other companies had missed. When we received the quote, we were very impressed with the transparency and detail in the quote. It was also very reasonable and competitive. They were able to provide us the satellite roof measurements (not all roofs are eligible but ours qualified) to compare with their in-person measurements for additional accuracy checks. It really helped in getting a more precise and complete measurement of our roof. It really was the best practice of measuring twice and cutting once. Ramon also provided all the pictures he took of our roof, which gave us confirmation it was in need of a replacement and repairs were not going to really extend its useful lifespan. We asked many questions regarding the roofing options and types, which Ramon answered very well and in detail. It was very informative and helpful in us making an informed decision about what would be best suited for our situation and roofing requirements. Ramon was very patient with us and the attention explaining precisely and in detail was exceptional and went above and beyond. Everything was very smooth and relaxed, there was no pressure which we appreciated since it’s already a stressful endeavor to tackle a roof replacement even with going the route of insurance coverage.Posted on Google Joseph Lecher My fiance and I just bought a house knowing we would need a new roof almost immediately. We reached out to 4 different roofing companies and ultimately decided to go with AC Matthews. Zack Wolford was recommended to us by a friend and we had an exceptional experience working with him. Zack was professional, informative, and most importantly, very communicative (an extremely rare trait to find among contractors these days). Zack came out and took pictures of our roof to give us a quote and even tarped a rough area on the roof for free since there were heavy rains coming between then and when our new roof was supposed to get installed. Overall, Zack and AC Matthews gave us a phenomenal, hassle free experience for a surprisingly affordable value.Posted on Google Michael Berkey They work hard to make every detail just right. They don’t want any payment until we are completely satisfied. It’s a very pleasant experience to get needed work done, promptly and fairly priced.Posted on Google Elle G AC Matthews and Project Mgr. Ryan McKibbin just finished our roof project and it looks amazing! They converted the slate roof on our 1942 home to a beautiful new shingled roof, replaced the skylights, and installed new gutters and downspouts. We took a looonnnggg time researching roofers and are very happy with our selection. It’s one of the biggest projects for your home so it’s a huge decision. Ryan helped us every step of the way with great patience, skill and professionalism. He answered all our concerns and questions and was very responsive and very present throughout the job. We decided to add insulation in our somewhat challenging (due to a/c handlers) attic, and also needed repairs in the upstairs plaster ceilings due to leaks from the old roof. Ryan and his team took care of everything and it was so convenient for us and everything turned out to exceed our expectations. What a relief to have this all done, and done so well. Thank you, Ryan and AC Matthews!
Frequently Asked Questions
If your roof has minor damage—like a few missing shingles or a small leak—repair may be all that’s needed. However, if your roof is aging, has widespread damage, or has been impacted by severe weather, a full replacement might be the more cost-effective and long-term solution. At AC Matthews, we offer free inspections and expert guidance to help you make the right decision for your home.
Our roof installation process is designed to be straightforward and stress-free:

We will help you choose the best material based on your needs and preferences.
If you spot water stains, drips, or damp spots on your ceiling, act quickly. Contact AC Matthews for a free roof inspection. Delaying repairs can lead to more severe and costly damage. We’ll identify the source of the leak and recommend the most effective repair or replacement option.
Gutter guards are protective covers that prevent leaves, debris, and pests from clogging your gutters. They help keep water flowing away from your home, reducing the risk of water damage and foundation issues. If your gutters frequently clog or you want to minimize seasonal maintenance, gutter guards are a smart investment. AC Matthews offers professional gutter guard installation tailored to your home.
Frequently Asked Questions
A repair may be enough when damage is limited to a small area and the rest of the roof is still in good condition. Replacement may be the better option when there is widespread shingle deterioration, recurring leaks, significant storm damage, or an aging roofing system with multiple problem areas. A professional inspection can help determine which option makes the most sense for your home.
The best roofing material depends on your home, budget, appearance preferences, and long-term goals. Asphalt shingles are a common choice for residential roof replacement because they offer a wide range of styles and price points. Other materials may also be available depending on the property and project requirements.
In most cases, yes. Homeowners can typically remain in the house while the roof is being replaced, although the work can be noisy and cause some vibration inside the home. It is a good idea to secure fragile items, make arrangements for pets, and keep children away from active work areas until the project is complete.
Once the old roofing materials are removed, the roof decking can be inspected for rot, moisture damage, or structural deterioration that was not visible beforehand. Any damaged sections may need to be replaced before the new roofing system is installed so the new roof has a sound, stable surface underneath it.
Roof replacement can be completed during much of the year, but weather conditions play an important role in scheduling. Dry, moderate conditions are generally ideal, while heavy rain, snow, ice, or extreme temperatures can delay installation. If your roof is already failing, however, it is usually better to address the problem promptly rather than wait for a particular season.
