Clinton is in the southern part of Prince George's County. It was a farming crossroads once, and the community grew up around it with the split-levels, ranches and townhome neighborhoods you see off Branch Avenue and Woodyard Road. Plenty of homes here have mature trees, long driveways and roofs that have had a hard time. Comeback Construction is licensed in Maryland, MHIC #166936. Call (227) 229-6633.

Split-levels and the roofs that come with them

A split-level has more than one roofline. Where two sections meet, you get valleys and flashing, and that is where leaks start. When we inspect a Clinton home, we look at those joints first. We also check the chimney, the vents and the soffits.

You get a photo report in plain words. Free, either way.

A split-level also has a lower roof that gets less sun and more shade. That section stays damp longer and can grow moss. We check it separately from the upper roof, because the two halves often wear at different speeds. Sometimes only one section needs replacing. We say so when that is true.

Townhomes and HOA neighborhoods

Clinton also has townhome and planned communities where several homes share a roofline or a look. If that is you, your HOA may control roof color and style, and you may share a wall or a ridge with a neighbor. Tell us first. We coordinate the approval and make the repair or replacement match what your community requires.

Trees and wind

Many Clinton lots have large trees close to the house. Branches rub shingles, leaves clog gutters and a limb in a storm can go through the roof. If that happens, call us. We tarp within a day and document the damage with photos. If your homeowners insurance may cover it, we explain each step of the claim. We cannot promise coverage. Your insurance company decides.

Long, shaded driveways are common here, and they matter for the job too. We plan where trucks and dumpsters go so we do not crack a driveway or tear up a lawn. Tell us about any soft ground or tight turns on your lot.

Roof replacement, start to finish

Most roofs in Clinton are done in one day. We bring a crew, protect your landscaping, tear off, dry in and finish. We sweep the yard for nails before we leave. If your roof needs more than a day, we tell you before we start. Your price is fixed and in writing, with labor and materials listed.

Siding and gutters on a tree-lined lot

Shade keeps walls damp. On a Clinton house with big trees close by, siding stays wet longer and picks up green stains and soft spots. Gutters fill faster too. When we are on your roof, we look at the walls below it and the gutters beside it. If the siding is worn or the gutters are too small, you get photos and a price. Many homeowners fix all three at once to save the cost of a second visit.

Decks, patios and screened porches

If you have shade, you probably want a screened porch. If you have a sunny yard, you probably want a deck with a firepit. We build both, in Trex composite for decks and in concrete, pavers or stone for patios. Get a rough price by email in about a minute. We offer $0 down and 0% interest for 24 months through us. We confirm the real number in person.

A split-level often has a back door up or down a few steps from the yard. That is a good setup for a deck with stairs, and it is a good spot for a lower patio. We figure out the heights with you so the doors open onto a level surface and the stairs are safe.

Kitchens and baths

Many Clinton homes have the original kitchen or bath. If you have been putting it off because you do not know the number, answer four quick questions and we email a rough range. No salesman and no home visit just to get a price. When you are ready, you sit down with Johnathon to plan layout, materials and budget. That is free.

Shingles for a shaded roof

Shade keeps a roof damp, and damp roofs grow dark streaks of algae. It is mostly a looks problem, but it can shorten the life of the shingles. Some shingle lines are made with algae-resistant granules. On a heavily shaded Clinton roof, we often suggest one of them. We show you the options, tell you what each one costs, and let you decide. We also suggest trimming back branches, which helps the roof dry out after every rain.

Living through a roof job

You can stay home during a roof job, but the tear-off is loud. Plan to move cars out of the driveway the night before, take framed pictures off the walls of the rooms under the roof, and keep pets inside. We protect the shrubs and the lawn, and we pick up nails with a magnet before we go. If it looks like rain, we dry in the roof before the crew leaves. You get photos and a short text at the end of the day.

Before the next storm

You cannot control the weather, but you can be ready for it. Know where your attic access is. Know where your roof leaks are likely to show up, usually below chimneys, valleys and vents. If a storm hits, check the ceilings and the attic once it passes. Take photos of any damage, with the date. If you see water, call us at (227) 229-6633. The sooner we tarp a leak, the less damage you have to fix.

A fall checklist for Clinton homes

Clear gutters after the leaves drop, and again in early winter.

Cut back branches that touch the roof or hang over it.

Check the lower roof section on a split-level for moss.

Look at the caulk around windows and doors.

If your roof is past 20 years, book the free inspection before the first freeze.

Getting a price without a salesman

You do not have to sit through a sales pitch to find out where you stand. For decks, patios, kitchens and baths, fill out the estimate form and you get a rough range by email in about a minute. For a roof, the free inspection gives you photos and a plain report. When you want a firm number, Johnathon visits, walks the job with you and puts the price in writing. Nobody pushes you to sign on the spot, and your price is not a special for today only.

What you can count on

Finish date in writing. We pay you $500 a day, up to $2,500, if we miss it.

5-year warranty on labor and materials.

Friday photos and a short text, every week.

We pull the permit and book the inspection when one is needed.
