JDH Remodeling

JDH Remodeling is a third-generation, family-owned roofing and exterior remodeling contractor headquartered in St. Leonard, Maryland, and serving homeowners across Southern Maryland and Northern Virginia. The company was founded in 1986 by master carpenter J.D. (Jim Sr.) Dodson in Clinton, Maryland, originally under the name Dodson Brothers Construction, alongside his brother Bill Dodson. Today it is led by HAAG Master Level Inspector Jim Dodson from its main shop in Southern Maryland. JDH Remodeling positions itself around forensic, inspection-first recommendations rather than sales pitches, and it holds Owens Corning Platinum Preferred Contractor status — a distinction it says is held by less than 1% of U.S. roofers — as well as James Hardie Elite Preferred and ProVia Certified Installer credentials. The company installs six exterior trades under direct factory partnerships with Owens Corning, ProVia, James Hardie, and VELUX, covering roofing, siding, doors, windows, gutters, and related exterior protection. Its service area spans Maryland and Virginia, where it operates under Maryland MHIC license #137491 and Virginia Class A license #2705192986. JDH emphasizes fixed pricing, a 50-year non-prorated Platinum warranty on roofing installs, and a 5-year workmanship warranty on other exterior work. The company reports 4.9 stars across more than 1,400 verified Google reviews and describes itself as being in its 40th year of operation. It carries $8 million in general liability and umbrella coverage. JDH Remodeling remains a private, family-owned business with no parent company or public listing.

JDH Remodeling traces its origins to 1986, when master carpenter J.D. (Jim Sr.) Dodson founded the business in Clinton, Maryland, with a single pickup truck and a set of hand tools. He and his brother Bill Dodson named the venture Dodson Brothers Construction, operating on the principle that they would only do work they could put their name on. During the 1990s and 2000s, Jim Sr. built a reputation across Southern Maryland as the contractor other builders called for complicated work, and that standard carried the company through residential projects in Calvert County and beyond. The business evolved into JDH Remodeling, a third-generation family enterprise now led by Jim Dodson, a HAAG Master Level Inspector, from its main shop in St. Leonard, Maryland. Under Jim Dodson's leadership, the company shifted toward an inspection-first model in which every recommendation begins with a HAAG Master Certified forensic inspection and documented findings rather than a sales pitch. JDH became an Owens Corning Platinum Preferred Contractor in 2014, a status it describes as held by less than 1% of U.S. roofers, and later added James Hardie Elite Preferred and ProVia Certified Installer credentials. The company installs six exterior trades under direct factory partnerships with Owens Corning, ProVia, James Hardie, and VELUX, serving homeowners across Southern Maryland and Northern Virginia. It operates under Maryland MHIC license #137491 and Virginia Class A license #2705192986, carries $8 million in general liability and umbrella coverage, and reports 4.9 stars across more than 1,400 verified Google reviews. As of its 40th year of operation, JDH Remodeling remains a private, family-owned business.
