Annapolis homeowners know what it means to live in a place worth protecting. From historic Victorians in the West Street corridor to waterfront properties along the Severn River, the homes here carry real character and real exposure to the elements. The Chesapeake Bay climate is no joke: humid summers, nor’easters rolling in off the water, and winters that cycle between freeze and thaw in ways that are particularly hard on roofing systems. When it’s time to replace a roof in Annapolis, homeowners call Long Home. Since 1945, we’ve been protecting homes across the greater Mid-Atlantic region with craftsmanship that holds up for decades.
Whether you’ve spotted issues in your gutters, noticed a ceiling stain after the last heavy rain, or simply know your roof is getting long in the tooth, Long Home brings the right team, the right materials, and the right process to your Annapolis home.
Long Home installs complete roofing systems engineered for the coastal Mid-Atlantic climate. The combination of salt air, high humidity, and seasonal storm activity that Annapolis homeowners deal with demands materials that can take a beating year after year. Our factory-trained installation teams work with a full range of roofing products so you can choose the right system for your home, your budget, and your long-term plans.
Asphalt shingles remain the most widely installed roofing system in Annapolis, and there are good reasons that haven’t changed. A quality asphalt shingle roof offers dependable weather resistance, a broad selection of profiles and colors to complement any architectural style, and a strong return on investment. If your current roof is aging out or has taken storm damage, a new asphalt shingle system is a smart, time-tested solution.
Metal roofing is particularly well-suited to Annapolis, given the coastal conditions homeowners face here. It stands up to wind-driven rain, resists corrosion, and carries a Class A fire rating that can be meaningful for insurance purposes. Metal roofs also reflect solar heat effectively, which can reduce cooling costs during Annapolis’s warm, humid summers. For homeowners planning to stay in place long-term, metal roofing is one of the most durable investments available.
Annapolis has no shortage of homes with genuine architectural distinction, and the right roof can either honor that character or undermine it. Our multi-dimensional designer shingles replicate the depth and shadow lines of natural slate and cedar shake without the maintenance demands or cost premium those materials carry. For homeowners in historic neighborhoods or waterfront communities where curb appeal matters, these are a compelling option.
Many Annapolis properties — particularly townhomes, additions, and homes with low-slope sections — include flat roof systems that require specialized installation and materials. Long Home has extensive experience assessing and replacing flat roofing in Anne Arundel County. We install systems built to manage standing water and seasonal temperature swings, keeping your home dry and protected through every season.
Long Home has been a fixture in the Mid-Atlantic roofing market for more than 75 years, and our reputation is built on what happens after the contract is signed, not just before. Our certified, factory-trained installation crews work with the attention to detail that older homes and coastal properties demand. Most full roof replacements are completed within a single day, which means minimal disruption to your schedule and your household.
Every roof we install comes backed by our industry-leading warranty coverage, giving you real protection rather than fine-print limitations. We’re also straightforward about cost from the beginning: you’ll know exactly what you’re paying before any work begins, with no surprises on installation day. For homeowners who prefer to spread the investment over time, we offer financing plans designed to work with a range of budgets. Protecting your Annapolis home should feel like a sound decision, not a stressful one.

How much does a roof replacement cost? Roof replacement pricing in Annapolis varies based on several factors specific to your property, including the total square footage of your roof, the pitch and complexity of the roofline, and the roofing system you select. Coastal and waterfront properties sometimes require additional considerations as well. The most accurate way to understand what your project will cost is to schedule a free in-home consultation with one of our representatives. We’ll assess your roof, walk you through your material options, and give you clear, itemized pricing before you make any decisions.
Do you offer financing for roof replacements? We do. Long Home offers financing options with loans available up to $75,000, and we work with you to find a payment structure that fits your household budget. Annapolis homeowners have a wide range of financial situations, and we don’t believe a necessary home improvement should create undue strain. Our financing process is transparent and straightforward, with no confusing terms, no pressure, and no surprises after the fact.
Is there a warranty on Long Home roof replacements? Yes. Long Home is the North American leader in 50-year SureStart PLUS roofing warranties, applied through our Integrity Roof System. The warranty covers 100% of future shingle and labor costs on a non-prorated basis for the full term, and it transfers to a new owner if you sell, which can be a meaningful selling point in a market like Annapolis, where buyers are discerning and home values are high.
Do I need to leave my home during installation? You’re welcome to remain in your home throughout the installation. That said, roof replacement is an active, noisy process, and some homeowners prefer to be out of the house for the day. Our Red Carpet Program is designed to protect your property and landscaping throughout the project. We take care to cover outdoor areas, protect your gutters, and conduct a thorough cleanup before we leave, so your home looks the way it should when the job is done.
What should I do to prepare for my roof replacement? A little preparation goes a long way toward a smooth installation day. We recommend clearing wall hangings and fragile items from your attic space, since vibration from the installation can travel through the structure. If you have vehicles in the driveway, moving them the night before gives our crew better access to the work area. For a full checklist, visit our guide to the roof replacement process.
