Inspection and Quote: 1 to 3 Days
We inspect your roof and deliver a written quote, usually within one to three business days. Complex roofs or insurance-involved jobs can take a bit longer.
Scheduling: 1 to 4 Weeks
Depends on season and backlog. Spring and fall are the busiest months in Baltimore. Winter often has the shortest wait. Emergency and active-leak work jumps the line.
Permits: A Few Business Days
Baltimore City and Baltimore County both require roofing permits. We pull them as part of the job — straightforward residential re-roofs are typically approved in a few business days, and we build that into the schedule.
Installation: 1 to 3 Days
Most Baltimore homes: tear-off and replacement in one to two days for shingles. Larger or complex roofs run three days. Metal takes three to five days — every panel is cut and fastened on site. Flat membrane sections usually go in a day or two.
What an Installation Day Looks Like
The crew arrives early, stages materials, and protects your landscaping with tarps and plywood. Tear-off starts — it is loud, and it is fast. Then the deck gets inspected, underlayment and flashing go down, and the new roof goes on. At day's end: full cleanup and a magnetic nail sweep of your yard and driveway. You can stay home — it is noisy but manageable. Keep pets inside and move cars away from the house.
Weather Delays
We do not tear off in heavy rain or high wind. We watch the forecast and never strip more than we can dry in the same day. If surprise weather hits mid-job, we dry in with underlayment and tarps — your home stays dry — and return when it clears. This is standard professional practice, and it is one reason to hire a crew with a real process.
