JDH Remodeling: Roofing and Exteriors

What JDH Remodeling: Roofing and Exteriors does

JDH Remodeling is a third-generation, family-owned roofing and exterior contractor founded in 1986 in St. Leonard, Maryland, operating under legal name JDH Remodeling (formerly Dodson Brothers Construction). The company serves residential homeowners across Southern Maryland and Northern Virginia within a 90-mile service radius covering five Maryland counties (Calvert, Charles, St. Mary's, Anne Arundel, Prince George's) and three Virginia counties (Stafford, Fredericksburg, Spotsylvania). Its core service offering spans six exterior trades: roofing (replacement, repair, inspection, emergency tarping, metal, flat), siding, windows, doors, gutters, and attic insulation. JDH operates through direct factory partnerships with Owens Corning (Platinum Preferred since 2014, top 1% nationally), ProVia (Certified Installer since 2018), James Hardie (ColorPlus authorized), and VELUX (Certified Installer since 2014).

The company's technical core is a HAAG Master Level forensic inspection methodology using the proprietary PCC Method (Problem-Cause-Consequence) and a 7-phase inspection process that includes drone imagery, FLIR thermal scanning, attic walk, and physical roof walk, producing 20-40 page documented reports. Every recommendation begins with this free inspection, and approximately 1 in 4 inspections results in no recommended work, reflecting a non-commissioned, salaried inspection team. Owner Jim Dodson and Inspector Manager Brian McClees both hold HAAG Master Level certification (fewer than 200 inspectors nationally), the same credential carried by insurance adjusters, which produces adjuster-grade documentation.

JDH makes money through one-time project-based transactions rather than recurring contracts. Roof replacements range from $9,500 to $16,500 for typical 1,800-2,400 sq ft homes at $5.50-$12.50 per sq ft installed; repairs range from $1,200 to $3,600 with a $1,000 minimum; emergency tarping runs $500-$1,000. Pricing is fixed before tear-off with no mid-job change orders. Financing is offered through five partners (Service Finance, Hearth, GreenSky, Foundation Finance, Synchrony), with 0% APR available for qualified buyers and 6.99% APR featured. The 50-year non-prorated Owens Corning Platinum Protection warranty is the headline value proposition. The company completes 500+ roof replacements per year and averages three roof repairs per business day, with 1,400+ verified reviews at 4.9 stars across 13 platforms.

Expansion highlights5 records

Broad incumbents

• Mr. Roof: Nationwide residential roofing and exterior remodeling chain operating across more than a dozen states. Competes for the same homeowner-buyer segment with roofing as the anchor product and bundled exterior services.
• Window World: Largest direct-to-consumer window replacement franchise in the US, with siding and door offerings. Comparable on the window/siding portion of JDH's offering at significantly larger scale, though lacks JDH's roofing depth.
• Bone Dry Roofing: Multi-state residential roofing franchise with significant Midwest/Mid-Atlantic presence. Overlaps JDH on core roofing services but operates at a much larger footprint without the same depth in multi-trade exteriors or HAAG-credentialed inspection.

Direct peers

• Long Roofing: Mid-Atlantic-headquartered residential roofing and exterior remodeler (now operating under LeafGuard brand). Direct competitor in JDH's core geography with comparable product mix of roofing, gutters, and exterior replacement services.
• Storm Guard Roofing & Construction: National franchise focused on storm damage restoration, roofing, siding, and windows. Direct overlap in insurance-claim-driven residential roofing with comparable adjuster-coordination workflows.
• P.J. Fitzpatrick: Mid-Atlantic home improvement contractor specializing in roofing, windows, doors, siding, and baths. Operates across the same Maryland/Virginia/Delaware region with comparable residential homeowner focus and multi-trade offering.
• Phil DiBello Family Roofing: Maryland-based family-owned roofing contractor serving the Baltimore-DC corridor. Closest demographic and operating-model analog: third-generation family operator, residential roofing focus, similar Mid-Atlantic service geography.
• LeafGuard by Beldon: National seamless gutter and exterior home improvement company with strong Mid-Atlantic presence. Overlaps JDH on gutter and roofing replacement with comparable direct-to-homeowner sales motion.
• Power Home Remodeling: Multi-state exterior home remodeler offering roofing, siding, windows, doors, and insulation with a similar direct-to-homeowner sales model. Closest direct analog in product breadth and go-to-market approach, though it operates at much greater geographic scale.

Emerging players

• Mighty Dog Roofing: National residential roofing franchise with growing presence across multiple states. Overlaps JDH on roofing, siding, and windows but with franchise-model scale rather than owner-operated craftsmanship positioning.
