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.

From 2016 to 2025, NOAA recorded 26 hail reports (largest hailstone 1.75 in), 238 thunderstorm wind damage reports (gusts up to 85 mph) and 5 tornadoes in Anne Arundel County. The local forecast zone also logged 8 winter storm or heavy snow events. Hail of this size can damage asphalt shingles, so ask the contractor about impact-rated options.

Severn has about 22,000 housing units. About 50 percent are detached single-family homes. Only about 5 percent were built before 1960; about 75 percent were built in 1980 or later, and the largest group was built in the 2010s. About 72 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.

A newer house can still need a new roof. In Severn, about 75 percent of homes were built in 1980 or later, and the largest group went up in the 2010s, yet the older homes in that mix may still carry original shingles that have reached the end of their service life.
The question to ask is whether the problems are local or general. One torn shingle or a leaking boot around a vent pipe can usually be patched. Widespread granule loss, curling on several slopes, earlier layering, or a deck that sags or feels soft points instead toward replacing the whole roof.
Anne Arundel County also logged 26 hail reports from 2016 to 2025. If hail is a concern, ask whether impact-rated shingles fit your plans.
When you talk with a contractor, review the material options, the project schedule, the manufacturer's warranty on materials, and the plan for stripping and disposing of the old covering. In Anne Arundel County, the permit question depends on scope: shingle-only work is treated differently from jobs that include new sheathing or trusses. Confirm with the county Department of Inspections and Permits and settle who applies if a permit is needed.
