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 Potomac 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.

Potomac has about 16,800 housing units. About 70 percent are detached single-family homes. Only about 6 percent were built before 1960; about 43 percent were built in 1980 or later, and the largest group was built in the 1960s. About 85 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.

Before you choose between a new roof and another round of patching in Potomac, ask three things. How old is the current covering? Is the wear limited to one area or spread across the whole roof? And has anyone checked the decking for soft or stained spots? If the covering has little service life left, wear is general, the deck is compromised, or a second layer is already in place, a full replacement usually serves you better.
The largest group of homes in Potomac dates from the 1960s. On a house of that age, removing the old roofing may expose earlier patchwork, tired flashing, or sheathing that needs replacing in sections, so ask how that will be handled.
Hail is frequent enough to plan around. Montgomery County logged 55 hail reports in NOAA data, so it makes sense to compare impact-rated shingles with standard ones.
With about 85 percent of homes owner-occupied, most owners here will be the ones choosing the material, approving the schedule, and reading the manufacturer's warranty. Confirm that removal and disposal of the old covering are included. Permit needs depend on scope, and HOA or historic rules can also apply; check with the Montgomery County Department of Permitting Services, and agree on who files if a permit applies.
