Frequently Asked Questions

G and Bros is the go-to locally owned and operated mom-and-pop roofing contractor. With the owner being hands-on and committed to helping you solve your roofing problems and prevent future ones, we guarantee you won’t be disappointed with the service you receive.

Yes, G and Bros offers financing options for customers. Loan terms range from 2 years to 7 years, so customers can find a payment plan that works best for their budget. We understand that making payments can sometimes be difficult, so we want to make it easier and hassle-free for our customers. We offer competitive rates and flexible payment plans to make sure our customers are taken care of. Contact us today to learn more about our financing options.

We can provide an estimate for any roofing project without the homeowner needing to be present. However, it is encouraged for the homeowner to be present during the estimate so that we can discuss the different options available for the project. This may include materials, colors, or types of roofing that may be more suitable for the home. G and Bros can also answer any questions the homeowner may have about the project. This can help ensure that the homeowner is comfortable with the estimate and the scope of the project.

Estimates are generally valid for up to 30 days and can be used to secure financing, compare contractors, and create a budget for the roofing project. It is important to note that materials costs can increase during the 30 days and the contractor may need to adjust the estimate accordingly. The only exception would be, if the estimate states a different time frame.

A roof warranty is an important part of any roofing project. Architectural GAF shingles come with a lifetime warranty at no extra cost. This warranty covers both manufacturing defects and the performance of the shingles over time. It provides peace of mind that the shingles will continue to perform as expected, even when exposed to harsh weather and environmental conditions. Additionally, the warranty can provide coverage for any repairs needed due to manufacturing defects. With a roof warranty, you can ensure that your roofing project is of the highest quality and will last for years to come.

Ridge vents are a critical component of a roofing system, as they provide proper ventilation for attics and other enclosed roofing spaces. According to the 2009 IBC International Building Code, ridge vents are required for any roofing system with a pitch of 3:12 or greater. Ridge vents are installed along the ridge line of the roof and allow warm air to escape from the attic. This helps to reduce the risk of moisture buildup, which can cause damage to the roof and the building structure. Ridge vents also help to extend the life of roofing materials, as they allow heat to escape and reduce the temperature in the attic. Properly installed ridge vents are essential for a safe, well-ventilated roofing system.

Yes. Every crew member at G and Bros has hands-on field roofing experience, not just classroom training. We do not subcontract. Our founder personally brings 25+ years of Maryland roofing experience to every estimate, and our family-owned operation has been on the Eastern Shore since 2012. When you hire us, you get the same crew from estimate to finish, with the same standards on every job. We are confident that our team can handle any roofing project you may have and can guarantee that you will be satisfied with the results.

 Replacing your roof typically only takes one day for a one-story single-family home. However, the time it takes to complete the job is subject to the mercy of Mother Nature. If the weather does not cooperate, G and Bros may need to complete the job on another day. Additionally, if the roof is two stories, the roofing contractor may need to take more time to ensure the job is done properly.

Yes. We use a magnetic broom to pick up all the nails that made it to the grass. Our site supervisor will also conduct a thorough walk around the job site to make sure that everything is completed to our standards.

Not at all. In fact, G and Bros recommends that homeowners do annual maintenance on their roofs to ensure that the roof lasts its proper lifespan. We recommend avoiding pressure washers and opting for a soft-wash technique instead.

Yes, we do! Not many roofing contractors in our region utilize drones for roof inspections. Homeowners love drone inspections because we’re able to instantly give you a birds-eye view of your roof and any issues going on.

We install GAF asphalt shingles and metal roofing panels.

A complete roofing system is much more than just shingles! A full roofing system includes plywood roof decking, felt or synthetic underlayment (also called an ice and water shield), shingles (or other roofing material), roof vents, and flashing.

We offer reliable warranty options for both residential and commercial roofing projects. For qualifying residential roof replacements, we can provide enhanced GAF warranties, including the Silver Pledge Limited Warranty, as a GAF Certified Plus Contractor. For qualifying commercial roofing systems, we also offer Mule-Hide warranty options. Our team will go over your warranty coverage before the job starts so you can feel confident in your investment.We offer the GAF Limited Life-Time Warranty, Mule-Hide 20-year warranty, Carlisle 20-year warranty, and 5-year workmanship warranty. 

We repair and replace TPO, PVC, EDPM, and metal roofing materials.

We can install roofs on any commercial property, including offices, churches, retail stores, restaurants, warehouses, schools, and more!

TPO stands for thermoplastic polyolefin, and it’s a single-ply white roofing membrane used on low-slope roofs. Since TPO is white in color, it reflects heat instead of absorbing it, which keeps the building cooler.

Yes, we do! Gutter guards help protect your gutter system from clogs that can ruin your gutters. Plus, it takes the task of gutter cleaning off your to-do list.

We most commonly install 5 and 6” seamless gutters, but we can also install K-style gutters and European-style gutters. 

OnDeck is a PVC membrane that gets applied over your deck to give it the look of stone without the price or maintenance responsibilities of real stone. It also gives a waterproof protective layer to your deck. 

Yes! The OnDeck PVC membrane is slip-resistant and waterproof.

Yes! If your roof was damaged by a storm and you intend to file an insurance claim, we’ll help you navigate the process. 

Yes, we can be present during your insurance adjuster inspection to ensure they don’t miss any areas of damage that we found.

We can provide emergency roof service during our business hours that includes shingle patchwork, installing tarps, and waterproof roof cement.

Our company is located in Salisbury, Maryland, and we serve the greater Eastern Shore area, including Wicomico, Worcester, Somerset, and Dorchester counties in Maryland, plus Sussex County in Delaware.

Qualified customers can finance up to $100,000 for their projects! 

Acorn Finance requires a minimum loan amount of $1,000 in Maryland. 

No! You can pay back your loan early if you’d like, and you won’t be penalized.

The self-propelled Equipter RB4000 is engineered for enhanced efficiency in roofing tasks, capable of elevating materials up to 12 feet and extending outwards by 4 feet. It can navigate through tight spaces with ease and has a load capacity of up to 4,000 lbs., streamlining the process of transporting and disposing of roofing materials.

When choosing a roofing contractor to handle your insurance claim, it is crucial to check that they hold the appropriate license, bonding, and insurance that meet the requirements of your state. Factor in their experience within the local area, credentials that have been confirmed through verification processes, and their adoption of current technology.

Before contacting your insurance company, it’s advisable to engage a roofing professional as they can conduct a comprehensive and precise examination of the roof. This ensures that even hidden issues are identified which might be overlooked by insurance adjusters, thereby averting additional damage to the roof.

To choose the best shingle color for your home, consider factors like your home’s siding and geographic location, and consult with a local roofing expert for valuable insights. Choose colors that complement your home’s elements and suit your personal taste.

Yes, the color of your shingles can significantly impact your home’s resale value by affecting its curb appeal and attracting potential buyers.

No, darker shingles like Charcoal can actually hide dirt and stains, making maintenance easier. Just remember to choose high-quality shingles with algae protection for long-term durability.

A typical roof replacement with G and Bros usually takes 1-2 days, allowing for minimal disruption and ensuring your home is promptly protected with a new, high-quality roof.

You can consider G and Bros for easy financing options and a free on-site consultation to discuss the best solutions for your budget. Their low monthly payments make roof replacement more affordable.

The GAF Silver Pledge warranty is a great benefit for homeowners as it provides ten years of protection against manufacturing defects and workmanship issues. Plus, since it’s transferable, it adds extra value if you ever choose to sell your home.

A roof inspection is a full checkup for your home’s protection. We look at shingles, flashing, decking, leaks, ventilation, and gutters to catch issues early before they become costly problems. Regular inspections give you peace of mind and keep your roof lasting longer.

Common signs include missing shingles, frequent leaks, visible granule loss, or roof sections sagging under debris. Because many Ocean Pines homes are surrounded by trees, falling branches and buildup can also shorten a roof’s lifespan. If your roof is over 20 years old, it’s a good idea to schedule an inspection.

Honestly, both are great options. It just depends on what you’re looking for. Shingles are affordable, come in tons of styles, and look great in Ocean Pines neighborhoods. Metal roofs, on the other hand, are super durable, handle tree debris really well, and can save you money on energy bills. We’ll help you figure out which one fits your home best.

Most shingle roof replacements only take a day or two. Metal roofs can take a little longer since they’re custom-fitted, but we work quickly and keep the disruption to a minimum, especially since Ocean Pines homes are pretty close together.

Definitely! A new roof not only boosts your curb appeal but also gives buyers peace of mind knowing the home is well taken care of. In a community like Ocean Pines, where homes are considered luxury properties, having a brand-new roof is a big selling point.

Yep, we sure do! We’ll come out, check your roof, and give you an honest breakdown of what’s going on. No pressure. Just the info you need to feel confident about your roof.

Both come with StainGuard Plus algae protection, and both are paired with stainless steel ring-shank nails and aluminum flashings on coastal jobs.

Coastal shingle roofs typically last 18 to 25 years in Ocean City, versus 25 to 30 inland. Salt air, UV exposure, and hurricane wind load are the difference.

Tear-off of the existing roof, inspection of the decking with replacement of any rotted plywood, ice and water shield in valleys and at the eaves, synthetic underlayment, starter shingle course, GAF Timberline HDZ or UHDZ architectural shingles, ridge vents for proper attic ventilation, all flashing around chimneys and skylights, drip edge, and final cleanup with a magnetic sweep. You receive a same-day itemized estimate after the free drone inspection so you know exactly what you are paying for before any work starts.

Every G and Bros roof replacement comes with the GAF Lifetime Limited Warranty on the shingles (transferable once if you sell the home) plus our 5-year workmanship warranty on the install itself. As a GAF Certified Plus contractor we can also offer the enhanced GAF Silver Pledge warranty on qualifying installs, providing 10 years of coverage on both manufacturing defects and workmanship. Commercial roofs use Mule-Hide or Carlisle 20-year systems.

No, you do not need to be home. Many homeowners are at work during the install. We keep you updated throughout the day, send drone photos at the end of each day, and walk you through the finished project together on the final day. We coordinate gate codes, garage access, dog or cat considerations, and any HOA or property manager notices in advance so the day runs smoothly without you needing to be on site.

A properly installed architectural shingle roof typically lasts 25 to 30 years in Salisbury, depending on tree cover, ventilation, and how often the roof catches hail. Newtown, Camden, and downtown homes under heavy tree canopy may see algae growth and moss earlier and benefit from algae-resistant shingles. Open-lot homes in Pemberton and east Salisbury usually hit the longer end of that range.

We are the only major roofing contractor with our office and crew yard in the city itself. Our headquarters at 109 Clark Street in Salisbury, MD 21804 has been our base since 2004. Most of the other roofing companies serving Salisbury are headquartered outside Wicomico County and route through call centers or sales offices.

Yes. Wicomico County hail and wind events are common and most claims we file are paid. We document the damage with drone photography, meet your adjuster on the roof, and supplement the scope when line items are missed. We work with every major Maryland carrier (State Farm, Allstate, Nationwide, Liberty Mutual, Travelers, USAA, Erie, Farm Bureau). Read our complete roof insurance claim guide for the full process.

Yes. Most single-story Salisbury rental properties complete in 1 to 2 days, which fits inside a typical lease turnover window. We coordinate directly with property managers and absentee landlords, handle the inspection-replace-document cycle that rental owners need, and can be on-site between June 1 and August 15 when most leases turn over.

Yes. Maryland Home Improvement Commission (MHIC) licensed, with general liability and workers’ compensation insurance. We have completed permits with the City of Salisbury and Wicomico County many times and know the local process, including the Historic District Commission for downtown work. Certificates of insurance are available on request before any project starts.

For most Salisbury homes we recommend GAF Timberline HDZ in StainGuard Plus for the algae resistance, since most of the city sits under heavy tree canopy. For homes in hail-prone open lots or for owners who want the highest insurance discount, we recommend Class 4 impact-resistant shingles. For historic district properties we can match traditional profiles or upgrade to architectural shingles where the overlay allows it.

Coastal shingle roofs typically last 18 to 25 years in Rehoboth Beach, versus 25 to 30 years inland. Salt air, UV exposure, and Atlantic wind load are the difference. Upgrading to GAF Timberline UHDZ with stainless steel fasteners can extend lifespan to 25+ years even on oceanfront properties within half a mile of the Boardwalk.

Yes. Most single-story roof replacements complete in 1 to 2 days, so we can fit into an off-week window between Memorial Day and Labor Day. We also provide documentation if your HOA, condo association, or property management company needs it for approval.

We can coordinate directly with your property manager, HOA, or insurance adjuster so the claim process starts moving immediately even if you are not local.

For oceanfront properties within half a mile of the Boardwalk, we recommend GAF Timberline UHDZ for the heavier material and the highest wind warranty (up to 130 mph). For homes further inland in The Pines, Country Club Estates, or Schoolvue, standard GAF Timberline HDZ is usually the right choice. Both include StainGuard Plus algae protection, and both are paired with stainless steel ring-shank nails and aluminum flashings on coastal jobs.

Henlopen Acres has a strict architectural review committee and specific shingle color rules. North Shores is gated with its own ARC process. We’ll pull the current guidelines and match your association’s requirements before we order materials. We’ve worked through both ARCs on prior projects and know what each one looks for.

Coastal shingle roofs typically last 18 to 25 years on Lewes properties within a mile of the Bay or Atlantic, versus 25 to 30 years on inland Sussex County homes. Salt air, UV exposure, and Atlantic wind load are the difference. For Lewes Beach and Cape Henlopen properties, upgrading to GAF Timberline UHDZ with stainless steel fasteners can extend lifespan to 25+ years.

Yes. We have completed roof projects in the Lewes Historic District many times. We carry sample boards for typically-approved architectural shingles in historic colors, and for stricter requirements we install authentic cedar shakes and natural slate. We attend the architectural review meeting with you if that helps move the application through faster.

Yes. Delaware contractor license number 2017606032. We also carry general liability and workers’ compensation insurance. Certificates are available on request before any project starts. We have completed permits with the City of Lewes many times and know the local process for Lewes Beach, Pilottown, and the Beebe Hospital area.

We can coordinate directly with your property manager, neighbor, or insurance adjuster so the claim process starts moving immediately even if you are not local.

For Lewes Beach and Cape Henlopen properties within a mile of the water, we recommend GAF Timberline UHDZ for the heavier material and the 130 mph wind warranty. For homes in the historic district we pick from the architectural review’s approved color palette and recommend architectural shingles in earth tones (often Pewter Gray, Slate, or Hickory). For newer homes in Cool Spring or near Beebe, standard GAF Timberline HDZ is usually the right call.

Yes. We replace cedar shake and natural slate when the historic district requires it or when the homeowner wants to keep the original character. Both are significantly more expensive than architectural shingles but they last 40 to 70 years and they look right on a 1700s or 1800s home. We will show you the trade-off honestly so you can decide what fits your goals and your budget.

Choptank-area shingle roofs typically last 18 to 25 years on Cambridge properties within a mile of the river, versus 25 to 30 years on inland Dorchester homes. Brackish-water moisture, UV exposure, and Chesapeake Bay wind load are the difference. For waterfront and historic district homes, upgrading to GAF Timberline UHDZ with stainless steel fasteners can extend lifespan to 25+ years.

Yes. We have completed roof projects in the Cambridge Historic District many times. We carry sample boards for typically-approved architectural shingles in historic colors, and for stricter requirements we install authentic cedar shakes and natural slate.

We can coordinate directly with your property manager, neighbor, or insurance adjuster so the claim process starts moving immediately even if you are not local.

For waterfront and Choptank-adjacent properties within a mile of the river, we recommend GAF Timberline UHDZ for the heavier material and the 130 mph wind warranty. For homes in the historic district we pick from the Historic Preservation Commission’s approved color palette and recommend architectural shingles in earth tones (often Pewter Gray, Slate, Weathered Wood, or Charcoal). For newer homes in West End or out toward Hurlock, standard GAF Timberline HDZ is usually the right call.

Yes. We replace cedar shake and natural slate when the historic district requires it or when the homeowner wants to keep the original character. Both are significantly more expensive than architectural shingles but they last 40 to 70 years and they look right on a 1700s or 1800s Federal-era home. We will show you the trade-off honestly so you can decide what fits your goals and your budget.

Manokin-area shingle roofs typically last 16 to 24 years on Princess Anne properties within a mile of the tidal river, versus 25 to 30 years on inland Somerset homes. Tidal salt spray, sustained southwest wind off Tangier Sound, and UV exposure are the difference. For tidal and historic district homes, upgrading to GAF Timberline UHDZ with stainless steel fasteners can extend lifespan to 25+ years.

Yes. We have completed roof projects in the Princess Anne Historic District many times, including homes near Teackle Mansion on Washington Street and Somerset Avenue. We carry sample boards for typically-approved architectural shingles in historic colors, and for stricter requirements we install authentic cedar shakes and natural slate. We attend the historic district meeting with you if that helps move the application through faster.

Yes. Maryland Home Improvement Commission (MHIC) licensed. We also carry general liability and workers’ compensation insurance. Certificates are available on request before any project starts. We have completed permits with Somerset County many times and know the local process for the historic district, the UMES corridor, and surrounding Somerset communities including Crisfield, Westover, and Marion Station.

Call us at 410-677-4975. We offer same-day emergency tarp service anywhere in Princess Anne, Crisfield, Westover, Marion Station, Eden, and the surrounding Somerset County area. We can coordinate directly with your property manager, neighbor, or insurance adjuster so the claim process starts moving immediately even if you are not local. This comes up a lot with UMES faculty and out-of-state Crisfield rental owners.

For tidal and Manokin-adjacent properties within a mile of the river, we recommend GAF Timberline UHDZ for the heavier material and the 130 mph wind warranty. For homes in the historic district we pick from the typical historic palette and recommend architectural shingles in earth tones (often Pewter Gray, Slate, Weathered Wood, or Charcoal). For newer homes around the UMES area or out toward Westover, standard GAF Timberline HDZ is usually the right call.

Yes. We replace cedar shake and natural slate when the historic district requires it or when the homeowner wants to keep the original character of a Federal-era home. Both are significantly more expensive than architectural shingles but they last 40 to 70 years and they look right on a late-1700s or early-1800s brick home like the Teackle-era properties around Washington Street. We will show you the trade-off honestly so you can decide what fits your goals and your budget.

A standard architectural shingle roof typically lasts 22 to 27 years on a year-round Selbyville home, versus the 18 to 22 years you might see on a beach property in Fenwick or Bethany. Year-round residential roofs benefit from consistent attic ventilation and steady use, but they also see more total weather exposure than a vacation rental. With GAF Timberline HDZ and proper ridge ventilation, most Selbyville homeowners get the full 25-year span without major issues.

Yes. We are licensed in Delaware under contractor license DE# 2017606032, and we are also licensed in Maryland (MHIC). We carry general liability and workers’ compensation insurance on every job. Certificates are available on request before any project starts. We have completed permits with Sussex County DE many times and we know the local process for Selbyville, Frankford, Roxana, and the Bayard area.

Yes. Wind, hail, and falling-tree damage are common in inland Sussex County, especially after coastal storms track inland through Selbyville on their way to Salisbury. We have worked with State Farm, Allstate, Nationwide, USAA, Erie, Liberty Mutual, and most other carriers. We document the loss with drone photos, meet your adjuster on the roof, and supplement the scope of work when line items get missed. This is especially helpful for Mountaire workers and beach-industry families where shift schedules make weekday adjuster meetings hard to coordinate.

Yes. We offer financing through Acorn Finance with 2 to 7 year terms. Preapproval takes a few minutes, you can be approved during business hours, and funds can be available in as little as one business day. There is no penalty for early repayment. For a typical Selbyville ranch roof in the $9,000 to $12,000 range, the monthly payment on a 5-year term usually falls between $170 and $230. We will show you the monthly number alongside the total so you can decide what fits your budget.

For most year-round Selbyville homes we recommend GAF Timberline HDZ architectural shingles. They come with the highest manufacturer wind warranty (130 mph when installed with the 6-nail LayerLock pattern), they handle inland Sussex County humidity well, and they come in earth-tone colors that look right on Selbyville ranch homes and split-levels (Pewter Gray, Weathered Wood, Slate, Charcoal). For homes that take harder storm exposure or for two-story homes with steep pitches, we step up to GAF Timberline UHDZ. For farm properties and homeowners who want a 50-year roof, we install standing seam metal.

Yes. Selbyville and the surrounding inland Sussex DE area has many manufactured homes (single-wide and double-wide), and we replace roofs on them regularly. We install architectural shingles or metal roofing, replace flashing at every tie-down attachment, and add continuous ridge ventilation when the original install did not have it. Manufactured home roof replacements typically run $5,500 to $11,000 depending on size and roof condition, and they qualify for the same Acorn Finance terms as a traditional home.

Inland Millsboro shingle roofs typically last 22 to 30 years on subdivision and downtown properties. Indian River waterfront and Long Neck Bay properties within a half-mile of the water typically see 18 to 25 years, because tidal salt spray accelerates fastener and flashing wear. Upgrading to GAF Timberline UHDZ with stainless steel fasteners can extend waterfront lifespan to 25+ years.

Yes. We work with both builders directly on tract installs and with homeowners who took possession of a new-construction home and have questions about the builder-grade install. We can inspect a recently-completed roof, document any issues, and help you pursue a builder warranty claim if the install was incomplete. We can also replace a builder-grade roof with an upgraded specification if you want better materials and warranty coverage.

For Indian River waterfront and Long Neck Bay properties within a mile of the water, we recommend GAF Timberline UHDZ for the heavier material and the 130 mph wind warranty. For new-construction Route 113 corridor subdivisions and established downtown homes, GAF Timberline HDZ is usually the right call. We pick the architectural shingle color to match your subdivision style or your downtown home’s era, often Pewter Gray, Slate, Weathered Wood, or Charcoal.

Call us at 410-677-4975. We offer same-day emergency tarp service across the Eastern Shore. We can coordinate directly with your property manager, neighbor, or insurance adjuster so the claim process starts moving immediately even if you are not local. This comes up frequently with vacation rental owners and second-home owners on the Shore.

Yes. We offer financing through Enhancify with 2 to 7 year terms. Rates are usually better than putting a roof on a credit card, and we will show you the monthly payment alongside the total so you can decide what fits your budget. Financing works for new roof installations, replacements, and storm-damage repairs that exceed your insurance deductible.

Yes. G and Bros is licensed in Maryland under MHIC and in Delaware under DE# 2017606032. We carry general liability and workers’ compensation insurance on every job. Certificates are available on request before any project starts. We pull permits in every jurisdiction we work in and follow local code on every job.

Most Salisbury roof repairs we do range from $350 to $1,800 depending on the issue. Emergency tarp service: $350 to $850. Minor shingle replacement or flashing repair: $400 to $1,200. Chimney flashing rebuild: $600 to $1,500. Full storm damage repair on a section of the roof: $1,200 to $4,500. Larger jobs that approach 30 percent of the roof field usually justify discussing full replacement instead. We provide free written estimates with no pressure.

Yes. Most Salisbury roof repairs take 1 to 3 hours and we can handle them while you are at work. We do not need access to your interior. We will text you before-and-after drone photos and a final walk-through video when the job is done so you can review without taking time off. This works especially well for Salisbury University faculty, TidalHealth Peninsula Regional staff, and Perdue employees who have inflexible shift schedules.

Yes, frequently. Hail damage claims are some of the most common claims we handle in Salisbury and the broader Wicomico County. We document damage with drone photography using the same chalk-test methods adjusters use, meet your adjuster on the roof to walk through what we found, and supplement the scope if line items get missed. We have worked with State Farm, Allstate, USAA, Erie, Travelers, Liberty Mutual, and most regional Maryland carriers.

Salisbury roof replacement prices range from $6,500 (entry-level 3-tab on a small ranch) to $58,000 (cedar shake or slate on a large historic home). Most homeowners we work with land between $9,000 and $18,000 for GAF Timberline HDZ on a standard 1,800 to 2,500 square foot home. Larger or more complex roofs cost more. Material choice, square footage, slope, and decking condition are the four biggest cost drivers. We provide free written estimates showing 2 or 3 tier options.

Most Salisbury single-family replacements take 1 to 2 days for typical ranch and 2-story homes (under 2,500 sq ft). Larger or steeper homes (2,500 to 4,000 sq ft) typically take 2 to 3 days. We tear off, inspect decking, install underlayment, flashing, and the new roof field, ventilate properly, and clean up all in one continuous job. You can be home during the work; most homeowners are. We coordinate timing with your schedule, including factoring in Salisbury University faculty schedules or TidalHealth shift patterns.

For most Salisbury homes, GAF Timberline HDZ in a standard architectural color is the best value. It has a lifetime warranty, a 130 mph wind rating, and comes in colors that work on downtown historic homes, Camden corridor properties, and newer subdivisions. For homes with heavy storm exposure or owners planning to stay 15+ years, we recommend the heavier Timberline UHDZ upgrade. For 1920s through 1940s historic homes that want period-correct character, cedar shake or natural slate is the choice. For investment property owners on a tight budget, 3-tab shingle is the entry option.

Salisbury new roof installation prices range from $7,500 (3-tab on a small ranch new build) to $52,000 (cedar shake or slate on a large custom home). Most new construction installs we do land between $9,500 and $18,000 for GAF Timberline HDZ on a standard 1,800 to 2,500 square foot home. Larger custom builds and additions vary based on roof complexity (number of valleys, dormers, hips), square footage, slope, and material choice. We provide free written estimates showing 2 or 3 tier options.

Yes. We have worked with most Salisbury area builders on new construction homes. We coordinate timing with the framing inspector, exterior trades, and HVAC contractor so the roof goes on at the right point in the build sequence. We can be brought in as the builder’s subcontractor OR as the homeowner’s preferred roofer if you are bringing your own contractor in. We hold a 2-week buffer in our schedule specifically for builders. Call us at 410-677-4975 to coordinate.

Installation goes on a structure that has never had a roof before, or on bare decking after a previous roof has been completely removed. Replacement tears off an existing roof and puts on a new one. From the final outcome they look the same, but the process and the pricing differ. New construction homes, additions, and detached structures need installation. Failing or storm-damaged roofs need replacement. Total tear-off-and-rebuild jobs are technically both, and we usually quote those as replacement. When you call us, we will help you figure out which service applies.

Salt air pushes inland with the prevailing east wind. Frankford is 3 to 4 miles from the Atlantic and homes here see real fastener corrosion within 8 to 12 years. The metal flashings around chimneys, pipe boots, and step flashings rust out before the shingles themselves fail. We use stainless steel ring-shank nails and aluminum or copper flashings on Frankford installs to push the salt-corrosion timeline out to 20+ years.

Yes. We work with property managers and absentee owners regularly. We can inspect, document with photos and drone footage, and email a full report so you can decide on repair or replacement without flying in. Insurance-claim documentation is part of the package. Call 410-677-4975 to coordinate access through your management company.

Bethany Beach proper sits on the dunes with full salt-spray exposure and stricter Town of Bethany permitting. Frankford homes get a softer version of the salt environment but with broader storm-wind exposure since you’re inland enough to catch the full gust front. Material spec is similar (architectural shingles, ice and water shield), but Frankford installs sometimes need more decking replacement because vacation rental owners defer maintenance longer than year-round homeowners.

Most offers stack with each other. The First Responder Discount combines with the free gutter cleaning, the referral bonus, and either financing option. Insurance claim work also combines with the First Responder Discount and the gutter cleaning bonus. The exception is the GAF Roofs for Veterans Rebate, which is a manufacturer program with its own eligibility rules and does not stack with our first responder discount. Call 410-677-4975 if you have a specific stacking question.

When someone you refer books a roof job with a total contract price of $5,000 or more, we pay both of you $250 after the job is completed and invoiced. You get $250 as a thank-you for the referral, and they get $250 off their final invoice. The $5,000 minimum applies to the total contract value (most full roof replacements and significant repairs qualify; small patch jobs typically do not). There is no cap on how many people you can refer. Just have the referred customer mention your name when they schedule their estimate, or fill out our referral form. One bonus per referred customer.

GAF Roofs for Veterans is a manufacturer-sponsored program where GAF donates roofing materials to qualifying U.S. veterans. As a GAF Certified Plus installer, G and Bros applies on behalf of veteran homeowners and handles the install. The rebate value depends on the donated material package GAF approves. This is not a discount we control — it is a partnership benefit. Call us to start the eligibility check, and we will walk you through the GAF application.

GAF accepts standard military proof on the rebate claim form. Acceptable documentation includes a DD-214 (for honorably discharged veterans), an active military ID card, a VA card, retired military ID, or a Common Access Card (CAC) for active duty. You submit your documentation directly to GAF at gafroofsfortroops.com when you file the rebate claim. G and Bros does not need to collect or hold your military documentation.

Yes, in most cases. The $250 GAF rebate is paid directly to you as a homeowner check, separate from the insurance claim scope. If your insurance carrier approves a roof replacement, we install a qualifying GAF system that meets both the insurance scope and the Roofs for Troops requirements. You receive your insurance settlement and your $250 rebate check from GAF on top of that. Confirm with your insurance adjuster that GAF Timberline shingles meet your policy’s approved materials.
