Our Work

Our Roofing Project Gallery

Diakite Roofing & Restoration photographs its Columbia roof replacement and siding jobs on site. Inspection, tear-off, decking, install and finished work on eleven properties across Central Maryland.

Every frame here is a real job rather than a stock library. Every one of them started with a free inspection, and most residential replacements are torn off and re-shingled inside a single day.

Before and After

Drag the slider across roofs we replaced

Every pair came off our own camera, each one shot from the same spot on the same house before the tear-off and after the new roof went on. Drag a handle, or tab to it and use the arrow keys.

Brick chimney on the finished roof, an air compressor and green hose on the lawn — One house, one chimney, photographed from the roof before the tear-off and again after the new system went on. The roof edge and the lawn behind it are in the same place in both frames, so what you are watching change is the covering: aging tan three-tab shingles for gray Owens Corning architectural shingles, and old flashing for new black base flashing worked in around the brick.

The same house from above with new multi-tone architectural shingles on every slope — A Columbia house from the air on August 24, still under a tarp, and again on August 28 after we replaced the roof. The tarp and the worn three-tab shingles are gone, and every slope now carries new architectural shingles.

They came off the job-site camera in the order the work happened, which is why the set starts with chalk on shingles and ends with siding. Most roofing galleries only show the finished roof, which looks the same whether the deck underneath was replaced or shingled straight over.

The inspection frames

The first photos are hail damage circled in chalk on a live slope. The strikes are marked where they are, so density can be counted per square and a mat fracture can be told apart from a scuff or mechanical damage from a previous crew.

Tear-Off and decking

The middle of the set is the part nobody photographs. Old shingles going into the trailer, a stripped plank deck being walked, original boards measured, and replacement decking let in where the planks had failed.

Then synthetic underlayment across the prepared deck. All of it is covered up an hour later, so it gets photographed while the deck is open.

This company was very professional and very prompt. They explained everything to me in detail, along with pictures and videos. They got the job done quickly and thoroughly, and at a reasonable price. I would highly recommend Diakite Roofing and Restoration, and I would use them again if I needed to in the future.

Install and finish

Owens Corning bundles staged along the ridge, shingles going on, ridge vent run the full length, new pipe boots set into the field, and black flashing rebuilt around a brick chimney rather than caulked. Then a siding job in the order it happened: the rear corner in its original white siding with the brown shutters, the panels coming off, the wall stripped back to house wrap, and the same corner finished in gray.

Ten properties, not one

Everything described so far, and the close-up work that follows it, is one house. The next nineteen frames in the track are not.

Here is what ten further properties look like: a low-slope roof beside an elevated highway with every old seam patched over, the same building's flat roof going down and then finished, a rear extension cut back to expose rotted rafters, a hip roof dried in under printed underlayment, a hail slope chalked up for a claim, a full ridge vent run, and one whole replacement photographed from the air before, during and after.

The ones shot from the air

The aerial frames are the client's own drone footage, and they show a job the way nobody standing on the ground can see it: the whole roof at once, one slope stripped to its original wood planks while the other is already dried in, the crew spread across it, and the disposal trailer in the driveway. They are a little soft, because what we hold is a capture off the video rather than the video itself.

Call (667) 200-6656 and say so. The inspection is free.

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
Roof was only 10 year old

Gallery FAQ

Are these your own jobs?

Yes. Every photo here came off our own job-site camera on real Central Maryland homes. None of it is stock imagery or a manufacturer's brochure shot.

Why are there inspection photos and not just finished roofs?

Because the inspection is the part homeowners never get shown. The chalk marks are hail strikes on a real slope, photographed as evidence for a claim.

Can I see work similar to my house?

Call (667) 200-6656 and describe the house. We can walk you through jobs with the same roof shape, the same shingle, or the same kind of storm damage.

How do I get started?

Book the free inspection: call (667) 200-6656, email office@diakiteroofingrestoration.com, or send the form. No charge and no obligation.

Free & No Obligation

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