Shingle Roofing in Harford County & East Baltimore County, MD
Ray's Harford Home Improvement Contractors provides residential shingle roofing throughout Harford County and East Baltimore County.
Ray's has served Maryland homeowners since 1959, and Raymond McLemore personally oversees roofing projects from the estimate through the work and final review.
Whether you are replacing an aging shingle roof or comparing roofing materials for your home, Ray's can evaluate the project and explain the available options.
Asphalt Shingle Roofing Options
Asphalt shingles are available in different styles, profiles, colors, and price ranges.
Ray's can explain the differences between the shingle options appropriate for your home and help you choose based on appearance, budget, roofing-system needs, and the specific project.
Ray's is a GAF and CertainTeed certified roofing contractor.
Ray’s installs GAF Timberline shingles. All available GAF Timberline color selections may be discussed during the estimate based on current availability and the needs of the home.
Architectural vs. Traditional Asphalt Shingles
Traditional three-tab shingles have a flatter, more uniform appearance.
Architectural shingles are constructed to provide greater dimension and a more layered appearance.
There are also premium and designer shingle options for homeowners who want a different appearance or roofing specification.
Ray’s can explain the available GAF Timberline choices and help you compare options for your home.
Shingle Color and Style Options
Roof color can affect the overall appearance of the home and how the roof coordinates with siding, trim, shutters, brick, stone, and other exterior features.
Ray’s can review the available GAF Timberline colors with you as part of the roofing estimate and material-selection process.
Ridge Ventilation and the Roofing System
Roofing shingles are only one part of a residential roofing system.
Proper attic ventilation can help manage heat and moisture conditions beneath the roof.
When appropriate for the home, ridge ventilation may be incorporated into the roofing system to allow warm, moisture-laden air to escape near the roof peak.
Chimney Flashing and Detail Work
Areas around chimneys, walls, skylights, and other roof penetrations require careful flashing and detail work.
Ray's evaluates these areas as part of the roofing project and installs or replaces flashing when required by the approved scope of work.
Skylights and Roof Upgrades
A roof replacement can be a practical time to evaluate an existing skylight or discuss adding one because the surrounding roofing materials are already being worked on.
Ray's can review the roof and explain whether skylight work makes sense for the specific project.
Recent GAF Timberline Roofing Projects
Ray’s has recently completed new shingle roofing projects in Bel Air and Middle River using GAF Timberline shingles. A recent project also included a new skylight.

Shingle Roofing, Roof Replacement, and Roof Repair
A shingle problem does not automatically mean the entire roof needs to be replaced.
The appropriate solution depends on factors such as the condition of the shingles, age and condition of the roofing system, location and extent of damage, and whether problems are isolated or widespread.
