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.

Baltimore County requires a roofing permit when 50 percent or more of the roof sheathing or deck is replaced, and for roof work in historic districts or on landmark properties. Adding a second layer of shingles does not need a permit. Building permits for Dundalk are handled by Baltimore County Department of Permits, Approvals and Inspections (PAI).

From 2016 to 2025, NOAA recorded 42 hail reports (largest hailstone 2.5 in), 311 thunderstorm wind damage reports (gusts up to 90 mph) and 8 tornadoes in Baltimore County. The local forecast zone also logged 18 winter storm or heavy snow events and 10 high wind events. Hail of this size can damage asphalt shingles, so ask the contractor about impact-rated options.

Dundalk has about 27,000 housing units. About 37 percent are detached single-family homes. About 69 percent were built before 1960, including 10 percent before 1940. About 63 percent of occupied homes are owner-occupied. On homes of this age, ask the contractor what they will check under the old covering: the roof deck, the flashing and the attic ventilation.

A house built in the 1950s is the most common type in Dundalk, and about 69 percent of local homes predate 1960. Roofs on buildings that age have often been covered more than once, and the deck beneath may have absorbed years of small leaks. Those are exactly the situations where replacing the whole roof beats patching it again.
Look for the usual signs as well: shingles worn thin or cracked across most of the roof, stains on attic boards, a sagging line along the ridge or eaves, and a covering that has outlived its expected span. When several of these show up together, piecemeal fixes tend to just postpone the larger job.
Baltimore County recorded 311 thunderstorm wind damage reports with gusts up to 90 mph. Ask the contractor about wind-rated shingles and how they secure the perimeter of the roof.
Keep the rest of the conversation concrete: the material you are choosing and why, the start date and expected duration, the manufacturer's warranty on the products, and whether tear-off and disposal of the old roof are included. Permit requirements depend on scope; in Baltimore County, replacing a large portion of the deck can trigger one, so confirm with the Baltimore County Department of Permits, Approvals and Inspections (PAI) before the job begins.
