One roofer, accountable for the roof

Diakite Roofing & Restoration is owner-run, and our owner is the one who climbs up and inspects your roof. There is no canvasser handing you off to a salesman who hands you off to a production manager.

The inspection is chalked and photographed slope by slope instead of summarised, with hail strikes, granule loss and mechanical damage recorded where they are.

Credentials

What we actually hold

Owens Corning duration shingles (limited lifetime warranty)

Owens Corning architectural shingles on the roofs, in colors picked off real samples held against your own brick or siding. Owens Corning warrants the shingle materials under their Limited Lifetime terms for as long as the original owner owns the home. That is the manufacturer's warranty on the shingles, not ours on the labor.

Xactimate estimating

Insurance scopes priced in the same software the carriers use, so the line items arrive in the format an adjuster reads.

The inspection comes before the sales pitch

Nothing gets quoted until the roof has been walked and photographed.

You look at your own slopes: the chalk circles around hail bruising, the tabs that have lost their seal along the rake, the granule wash sitting in the gutter line, the flashing at the chimney that somebody caulked instead of rebuilt. Then you decide.

Plenty of inspections end with nothing to sell

One homeowner had been told by other roofers that their ten-year-old roof needed replacing. Our inspection found no damage yet, we told them so, and that review is on our Google profile today.

Scope in writing, then the install date

When a roof does need replacing, the scope goes in writing first: shingle color, line items, install date. Insurance work is priced in Xactimate so the numbers arrive in the format the adjuster already reads. Permits are pulled as part of the job, Howard County and its neighbors require them, and we schedule the county inspection.

Great experience! The contractor did an excellent job installing my siding. They were professional, efficient, and paid close attention to detail. The finished work looks amazing, and I would definitely recommend them to anyone looking for quality siding work.

Gutters arrive with the roof

A full replacement also carries 100 feet of gutter with gutter guard and downspouts. Gutters are not sold on their own, they arrive with the roof on the same job.

Lassana came out and looked at my roof after all the crazy storms going around and told me that my roof doesn’t have any damages yet whereas all the over roofers told me I need a new roof. My

About Diakite Roofing & Restoration FAQ

Who owns the company?

Diakite LLC, which trades as Diakite Roofing & Restoration. Our owner runs it and does the inspections himself, so the person on your roof is the person you spoke to.

What certifications do you hold?

Owens Corning Duration Shingles (Limited Lifetime Warranty) and Xactimate Estimating. The Limited Lifetime coverage in that list is Owens Corning's warranty on the shingle materials, not a warranty from us on the workmanship. The inspection is done by our owner himself, not a subcontracted canvasser.

What areas do you serve?

Howard, Anne Arundel, Montgomery, Prince George's, Carroll, Frederick & Baltimore Counties, worked out of Columbia. About a 35-mile radius.

Do you do roof repairs?

Yes. Leaks, missing shingles and worn flashing get repaired after a free inspection traces where the water gets in. If the roof is past repair, you hear that instead.

Free & No Obligation

Get a straight answer on your roof

Our owner walks the roof, photographs every slope, and tells you what he found. If the shingles are sound, there is nothing to sign.
