Living in Anne Arundel, Howard, or the eastern shore of Queen Anne County means more than just having a roof over your head — it means being part of a community we’re proud to call home. From weekends at Sandy Point State Park to strolls around Lake Kittamaqundi, cheering on Navy Sports teams in Glen Burnie, or enjoying the small-town charm of Severna Park, our neighborhoods are full of life. And when you love where you live, protecting your home isn’t just a responsibility — it’s a point of pride.
That’s why choosing the right roofer matters. Not just any roofer, but a local roofing company that understands and cares about the needs of homeowners right here in Anne Arundel County, Howard County, and Arnold, MD.
Premium Roofing That Delivers Value, Not Inflated Costs
If you’ve lived in Maryland for a while, you already know our weather has a way of testing your home. As the saying goes, “If you don’t like the weather in Maryland, just wait 5 minutes!”. From daily thunderstorms in our humid summers, to hurricanes and derechos & icy winters, your roof is your first line of defense.
Now, when we say premium roofer, we don’t mean overpriced. Premium roofing is about quality that lasts — not inflated costs. Choosing the right roofer often saves you money in the long run by preventing leaks, reducing repairs, and increasing energy efficiency.
A premium roofer does more than just nail down shingles:
- They use top-tier materials designed to withstand our climate.
- They offer workmanship backed by certifications and warranties.
- They treat your home with the same care they’d give their own.
At Fichtner Home Exteriors, we’ve spent decades proving that premium quality doesn’t have to come with a premium price tag. Because around here, “good enough” just isn’t good enough — and your home deserves better.
Fichtner Home Exteriors Meets Roofing Needs Across Anne Arundel County
Each of our counties and neighborhoods has its own character, and so do their homes. Because we’re a locally owned and operated company, we know the difference. We’ve seen how salt air shapes roofs in Edgewater, how mid-century homes in Glen Burnie call for thoughtful updates, and how historic properties in Annapolis and Ellicott City demand a balance of preservation and strength. When you live and work here, you don’t just see houses — you see the stories behind them, the families they protect, and the pride homeowners take in keeping them strong. That’s why choosing a roofer who’s part of this community matters.
Anne Arundel County (Severna Park, Edgewater, Glen Burnie, Odenton, Annapolis)
Living near the Bay brings beauty — and challenges. Salt air and coastal winds mean your roof has to work harder. Families in Severna Park and Edgewater rely on durable shingles and expert installation to protect against storm damage. In Glen Burnie and Odenton, many mid-century homes are now ready for full roof replacements that boost curb appeal and efficiency. And in Annapolis, where historic homes line the streets, roofing requires extra attention to detail — balancing preservation with modern performance against the Chesapeake’s weather.
Howard County (Columbia, Ellicott City)
In Columbia’s master-planned neighborhoods, homeowners want energy efficiency to match modern living. Ellicott City, on the other hand, is known for its historic downtown and older homes. Here, premium roofing means protecting heritage architecture while strengthening against the intense storms and flooding this area has endured in recent years.
Arnold, MD
Tucked between Annapolis and Severna Park, Arnold homeowners appreciate roofs that balance beauty with resilience. Whether it’s a family buying their forever home or long-time residents protecting what they’ve built, quality roofing makes all the difference.
Signs It’s Time for a Roof Replacement
We’ve all seen neighbors patch their roofs year after year, but sometimes replacement is the smarter move. If you notice:
- Shingles curling or cracking
- Missing patches after a storm
- Leaks or water stains inside your home
- Granules collecting in gutters
- A roof older than 20 years
…that’s when it’s worth having our trusted experts take a look. Around here, a roof isn’t just about keeping the rain out — it’s about protecting the place where your family gathers, your kids grow up, and your investment in your community. Choosing a premium roof gives you peace of mind today and lasting value tomorrow, whether you’re staying for the long haul or passing your home on to the next proud Maryland homeowner.

Don’t Just Take Our Word For It
With 4.9 stars on Google Business, 4.9 on Angi’s List, and 4.5 on Yelp, Maryland homeowners consistently choose and recommend Fichtner Home Exteriors. Here’s what your neighbors have to say in August of 2025:
We recently had Fichtner Home Exteriors install a GAF Solar Roof. They handled the entire process from planning to completion of the project. They arranged with GAF to be onsite to ensure proper installation of the solar shingles and arranged for GAF to perform the electrical work. They took care of getting all the inspections and permits and arranged for BGE to replace the meter and sign off on the project. This was done expeditiously and flawlessly.
Ellen Mugmon
We want to especially mention Jan, the project manager, for his attention to detail and for being fully available to answer all of our questions. The entire team and crew were highly professional.
I noticed some water spots on one of our walls and upon the recommendation of our neighbor, I called Fitchner. We were prepared to replace the roof since multiple of our neighbors have had to replace theirs this year and they are all the same age homes. Phil came out and checked out every possible avenue for the water spots. Hole in roof, condensation, bathroom vent not working….every possible theory you could imagine and each time he determined that was not the problem. He left saying he would send an estimate for the roof since at some point in the near future we’d have to replace it, even though it was fine now, but he was stumped as to what caused the immediate problem. Turns out it was something completely stupid on our part! Phil, you couldn’t find a problem because there wasn’t one! But you are a model of integrity because you didn’t make up a problem just to get our money. For any future jobs you can be sure we will call you. Phil, I wish you were my car mechanic as well!

This is the second time I’ve used Fichtner, and I plan to continue using them for any of my future home exterior needs. They are an excellent local company – well regarded, professional, personable, dedicated, and reliable. The products they offer are very high quality; their prices are competitive; and their installers are first-rate. If you are looking for new roofing, or want to replace some windows or doors, Fichtner is certainly worth careful consideration.
Richard Saad
We were looking for a company to replace our roof, our siding, and add some architectural elements to our home. We chose Fichtner because we are also small business owners, and they had excellent reviews. From start to finish everyone we encountered has been fantastic to work with. They kept us informed of anticipated project timelines, and sought our input throughout the project to ensure we would be happy with the final results. Our Project Manager, Ray Harvey, was fantastic to work with. Ray is a very genuine guy, who was always stopping by to keep things on track, and check in with us. We are absolutely thrilled with how our “new” home looks, and would not hesitate to use Fichtner Home for any future projects.
