Roofing contractor serving Columbia, Maryland

Most of Columbia’s villages went up between the late sixties and the eighties, and much of that housing stock is now on its second roof rather than its first. Asphalt shingle typically runs twenty to twenty-five years in this climate, which puts a great many Columbia homes right at the decision point.

The village architecture here also tends toward steeper pitches, complex valleys and cedar-look siding, all of which fail at the flashing long before the field shingles give out. If you’re seeing a ceiling stain after heavy rain, a valley or chimney flashing is usually where it starts.
