Most Common Roof Types in Maryland

Home Genius Exteriors can tell you a thing or two about all things home improvement. We don’t take our name lightly! We understand that the decision to replace your roof can be a tough one, and the variety of available options doesn’t make it any easier. Plus, it’s an investment that you’ll live with for many years to come. No pressure!

There are so many factors to consider, for example the structure of your home, the weather, or most importantly, your budget. In our experience these are the three most common roof types in Maryland:

Asphalt shingles

Asphalt shingles is the most common roofing type for good reason. For their affordability, they are also durable, can maintain a long lifespan and are very versatile in terms of aesthetics. Certain types of shingles, like architectural shingles, allow for customisation in a range of shapes and sizes too. They are a common choice especially for sloped roofs, and work well for traditional, classical home designs.

Tile

Both clay and concrete tiles are widely used for roofs, each with their own merits. A classic for residential roofing, tiled roofs are popular for their durability and longevity, with their aesthetic appeal being an added bonus. Their extra durability is especially handy in the Maryland climate, where you could be faced with harsh conditions from time to time in certain parts. Tiles are also best loved for their long lifespan, with some roofs enjoying a lifespan of up to 100 years!

Metal

Metal roofing has progressed in leaps and bounds to become one of the most viable roofing options for Maryland homes. Not only is it extremely versatile, but it is also able to mimic the look and feel of most of the premium roofing alternatives, such as clay and slate for example. Metal will set you back more than other asphalt shingles from the outset, but you’ll save in the long run thanks to its superior strength and durability.

“Excellent service from start to finish! The inspector was highly knowledgeable about roofing and other specialties. They were able to provide multiple quotes for my roof, gutters, windows, and siding almost instantly after the inspection. The communication from the project manager and others were superb during the job. Quality and service worth every penny! As a contractor myself, I highly recommend this company.”

“Home Genius Exteriors replaced my entire roof and they were absolutely amazing. They were professional, did quality work, and had great customer service. We had missing shingles and Home Genius was able to complete our roof in less than a week from the estimate! Melissa did the estimate and was very knowledgeable and helped us make the best decision for our home. Casey was the project manager and she communicated all the information we needed, was on top of everything with the project, and was even helping clean up after the work was complete to make sure the yard was safe for my kids. Would definitely recommend Home Genius 10/10 they went the extra mile!”

The crew that represent the company ( Buddy, Alex, Tim, Pablo, and the crew) are the greatest persons I've met. Very professional, pleasant, respectful, and they show up on time, they all take their time to explain all my questions/concerns and show me every step of the project.

“Home Genius has provided great service from the start of the project until the end. From the moment I met Brady Phillips, the home remodeling expert, my experience has been amazing! He explained everything from the products that would be used, of my choice until the end of the project. I really loved the professionalism and consideration of the workers and also the project manager. The project manager notified me of every step. I appreciate the workmanship. Thank you again Home Genius and I have already begun recommending this company!”

“I’m very impressed with Home Genius Exteriors. From the sales opportunity, to ordering, and finally execution everything was smooth sailing. Rob, who sold us our roof, was educated on the product and process. He answered all my detailed questions with patience. A special comment must be left for our Project Manager, Mike, who went above and beyond in every way. He was always available, answers all our questions, thoroughly reviewed the work was done, and even let us know that he is available after the project with any questions. You can tell he truly takes pride in his work. I have worked with others, and so has my family, and I’ll tell you right now we’re sticking with Home Genius Exteriors for all future projects due to Mike’s customer service. Highly recommended company to work with! Our roof is gorgeous.”
