We had our roof replaced last month by AHS and the process was great. Kevin Diaz came out and did a great job with the initial roof inspection and walk through of the process. Rama did a fantastic job with explaining the options and costs and getting everything setup and then keeping on top of everything. The crew was friendly and professional and did an excellent job with the install and the cleanup. Finally, Lukas Turner was great with the post install inspection and walkaround.

Just completed the final process for a new roof constructed by AHS. I was thoroughly impressed with AHS’s personnel specifically Brock Doctson. He took us through the entire process from talking to the insurance company to physically coming to the house for payment when needed. He explained the entire process in great detail and was very attentive in following up and answering any questions. AHS should be very proud of his work ethic. Will recommend this company to anyone.

Permits
Do You Need a Permit to Replace a Roof in Prince George's County?
Usually not. DPIE draws the line at sheathing, and says so in one sentence on its own inspections FAQ. It is the cleanest statement of the rule any jurisdiction in our service area publishes.
"A permit is required when replacing sheathing. If only roofing shingles are being replaced, no permit is required."
Prince George's County Department of Permitting, Inspections and Enforcement
When a permit does apply
- Replacing sheathing. Any sheathing, with no area allowance, which is stricter than either Fairfax or Howard

Damage reports in the 2012 derecho
The event to know: on June 22, 2012, an 83 knot gust, 96 miles per hour, at Quincy Manor. NOAA’s narrative records extensive damage and roof damage sustained at an apartment building with several hundred people displaced. It is the highest wind gust on record in our entire service area. Hail that dents a car will bruise a roof, and most of that damage is invisible from the ground. That's why our inspection goes up onto the roof and into the attic.
Prince George's is a wind county, not a hail county, and the data is unambiguous about it. The largest hail on record here in sixteen years is 1.75 inches, and NOAA has logged no severe hail at all since June 2, 2022. Wind is what takes roofs off in this county.
Storm figures from the NOAA National Centers for Environmental Information Storm Events Database, 2010 to 2026. Severe hail counts days with hail one inch or larger, which is the threshold the National Weather Service logs; smaller hail falls more often.

How Old Are the Roofs in Prince George's County?
Prince George's is the county where wind, not hail, is the roof killer, and that changes what an inspection is looking for. Wind damage is creased and lifted shingles, a torn ridge, missing tabs along a rake edge, and failed nail lines, and almost none of it is visible from the ground the way a hail bruise is once you know to look. The county also requires drip edge and ice shield outright, which is more than most of our jurisdictions commit to in writing.

Questions
Roofing in Prince George's County, Answered
Do I need a permit to replace my roof in Prince George's County?
For shingles only, no. The county’s Department of Permitting, Inspections and Enforcement puts it in one sentence on its own inspections FAQ: "A permit is required when replacing sheathing. If only roofing shingles are being replaced, no permit is required." Note where the line sits. There’s no square-footage allowance on sheathing here, which makes it stricter than Fairfax County, where nine sheets are exempt. If we find bad sheathing under your shingles, that changes the permit answer and we’ll tell you on the spot.
Does Prince George's County require drip edge and ice shield?
Yes to both, and the county says so directly. DPIE’s residential inspections FAQ answers the question "Does Prince George’s County require drip edge and ice shield for a roof?" with a flat yes. That’s a firmer commitment than most jurisdictions around here put in writing, and it’s worth knowing, because drip edge and ice barrier are two of the most common places a cheap bid quietly saves money at your expense.
Is hail or wind the bigger problem for roofs in Prince George's County?
Wind, clearly, and it’s not close. The largest hail on record in the county in sixteen years is only 1.75 inches, and NOAA has logged no severe hail here since June 2022. What the county does get is wind: the highest gust in our entire service area was 96 miles per hour at Quincy Manor in June 2012, which tore the roof off an apartment building and displaced several hundred people, and the county took 12 damage reports in the derecho a week later. Wind damage is creased and lifted shingles and torn ridge, and you won’t see it from the ground.
