In Maryland, contractors who repair, replace or remodel part of a home generally need a license from the Maryland Home Improvement Commission. Homeowners can look up a contractor's license by name, business name, location or license number on the state's search page. Before you hire, check the contractor's record with the Maryland Home Improvement Commission.

Montgomery County lists roof covering replacement as work that most likely does not need a county building permit. Work that goes beyond the roof covering, such as structural repairs, may need a permit, and HOA or historic rules can also apply. Building permits for Bethesda are handled by Montgomery County Department of Permitting Services (DPS).

From 2016 to 2025, NOAA recorded 55 hail reports (largest hailstone 2.75 in), 443 thunderstorm wind damage reports (gusts up to 90 mph) and 7 tornadoes in Montgomery County. The local forecast zone also logged 12 winter storm or heavy snow events and 12 high wind events. Hail of this size can damage asphalt shingles, so ask the contractor about impact-rated options.

Bethesda has about 29,600 housing units. About 54 percent are detached single-family homes. About 37 percent were built before 1960, and the largest group of homes was built in the 1950s. About 65 percent of occupied homes are owner-occupied. Ask the contractor whether the old shingles will be removed down to the deck, and how the deck and the attic ventilation will be checked.

How much should hail factor into a new roof in Bethesda? Montgomery County recorded 55 hail reports, including stones as large as 2.75 inches, so it is fair to ask a contractor whether impact-rated shingles are available for your roof and what trade-offs come with them.
Hail aside, a few conditions usually favor replacement over spot fixes. The roof may simply be old enough that its materials are breaking down. Damage might be scattered across all slopes rather than isolated. The plywood or plank deck could be soft from slow leaks. Or there may already be extra layers that should come off before anything new goes on.
About 65 percent of homes in Bethesda are owner-occupied, so the choices that follow are usually yours. Settle the type of material, a schedule that shows when work begins and how it proceeds, the manufacturer's warranty on the products, and who removes and disposes of the old covering.
Permit needs depend on what the job includes. Replacing only the covering is treated differently from work that reaches the deck or structure, and HOA rules may apply too. Confirm with the Montgomery County Department of Permitting Services (DPS), and decide with the contractor who will make that contact. We connect you with an independent contractor who serves the area.
