Do I need permits for exterior renovations in Maryland?

Full siding replacement, window enlargement, and roofing work typically require a building permit. Baltimore City historic districts require CHAP approval for any exterior change visible from the street. ADP Remodeling verifies requirements for your specific project and handles all applications.

What is the best siding material for Maryland's climate?

James Hardie fiber cement siding is our top recommendation — it resists moisture, does not rot, is termite-proof, and holds paint longer than wood. It carries a 30-year warranty and performs well through Maryland's freeze-thaw cycles. Insulated vinyl offers good performance at a lower price point.

What ROI do exterior renovations provide?

Fiber cement siding recoups 70-80% at resale. Vinyl windows recover 65-75%. Manufactured stone veneer returns 90-100%. Beyond resale, new siding and windows reduce heating and cooling costs by 15-30% on older homes.
