Roofing FAQs for Baltimore homeowners
Straight answers about repairs, licensing, and how we work. Licensed and insured, MHIC #154344.
I'm often up on a roof, so a text usually reaches me fastest, but call anytime.
Parts of a roof
A lot of the questions I get come down to which part of the roof is the problem. Here are the main parts on a typical Baltimore-area house.
See what each part does on the Parts of a Roof page, or check how long each type of roof lasts on the roof lifespan chart.
Frequently asked questions
Do you mostly repair or replace roofs?
Mostly repair. If the roof has years left, we fix the leak or damage. If it's past that, we say so. If you have a stain on the ceiling, see what to do about water coming through the ceiling.
Are you licensed and insured?
Yes. We're licensed and insured, MHIC #154344, and BBB accredited, A+. James is also an FAA-licensed drone pilot.
What areas do you cover?
Baltimore City and Baltimore County. See service areas.
How do I get a price?
Call or text 443-900-4815 with your address and pictures. We look first, then give a price.
Do you walk the roof or use a drone?
We get up on the roof whenever it's safe, because a hands-on look finds the most. If a roof is too steep, too tall or too fragile to walk, I use the drone. It shows the surface well, but some problems still need a hands-on check. See drone roof inspections.
