Most of Owings Mills went up between 1980 and 2009, a whole street at a time, and about a quarter of it is townhouses. We are just down Reisterstown Road in Pikesville, so it is close to home for us.
Lighting homes in Owings Mills
Three homes in five in 21117 were built between 1980 and 2009. Owings Mills is a town of builder-era roofs, and a lot of them are now near the end of their first life.
The 1990s were the single biggest building decade here by a distance. Whole streets went up together, with the same roof shapes repeated house after house. That makes it easy to see what will look right, because the house two doors down has the same lines. It also means a street can plan a display together if the neighbors want to.
Many of those roofs are original builder shingle reaching the end of a normal life. Shingle at that age is worth walking on carefully, and a roofer knows where to step and where not to. If we notice something on your roof while the lights go up, we will tell you plainly, including when it is nothing to worry about.
About a quarter of the housing in 21117 is townhouses, more of it toward Painters Mill Road. On a row the roof is usually low-slope and the front line is shared, so it is worth checking with the neighbors, and with the HOA if there is one, before your section of the row is lit and theirs is not.
Housing figures are from published census data for ZIP 21117.

Planned around your house
Tell us how much or how little you want. Some people want the roofline and nothing else. Others want the whole front of the house. The plan and the price are in writing before anything goes up.
Why a roofer
Most of the damage from Christmas lights is not visible until spring. These are the things we see on roofs after the decorations come down.
We are a roofing company first. If something looks wrong after the season, we can inspect the roof for free and photograph what we find.
Installation and maintenance
Call or send the form with your address and what you would like lit. A rough idea is enough to start.
We check the roofline, the roof surface and where the power will come from, then put the plan and the price in writing.
Licensed, insured roofers working at height every week of the year, not a seasonal crew borrowed for December.
If a section goes dark, call us and we arrange a visit to put it right.

“It’s been great working with Dmitry and Bravo roofing for several years now. They did a full tear off and replace of my flat roof back in 2019. I had a leak last year and Dmitry came out to inspect. He found that an old roof antenna had fallen off and punctured it.”
Tony DeBraccio · Google“I highly recommend Bravo for any kind of roof repair or construction. Dmitry, the business owner, is meticulous and detailed. He personally assessed the leaking overhang roof in our old house and delivered a thorough and economical solution.”

Usually, yes. Builder-grade shingle of that age is near the end of a normal life, so it needs careful footing rather than a hurried crew. Because we are roofers, we look at the roof before anything goes up, and if something would make lighting it a bad idea, we will say so.
Yes. On Owings Mills streets built in the same few years, the roof lines often match from house to house, so a shared plan comes out looking consistent. Each owner decides on their own house, and we can walk the street with whoever is interested before anything goes up.
It depends on how many feet of roofline and gutter are being lit, how high and steep the roof is, and what else is on the plan, such as trees, windows or a walkway. We look at the house first and give you the price in writing, so you are comparing a real number rather than a per-foot estimate that grows on the day.
It should not, and as a roofing company it is the part we care most about. Nothing should be fastened through your shingles, and nobody should be leaning a ladder on your gutters. If you want to know exactly how your roofline will be attached, ask us before the install and we will walk you through it.
If a strand or a section of your display stops working during the season, call us on (410) 977-4411 and we will arrange a visit to put it right. The details for your house are confirmed in your written quote.
Yes. Bravo Roofing is a licensed Maryland home improvement contractor, MHIC #114601, carrying $1,000,000 in liability coverage plus workers compensation. The same people who replace roofs across Baltimore are the ones on yours.
Earlier is better. Installation dates fill as the season gets closer, so calling in the fall gives you the widest choice of dates. Call (410) 977-4411 for the current schedule.
