General Contractor in Halethorpe, MD

Halethorpe sits just south of Baltimore City in Baltimore County, with a housing stock where the median construction year is around 1958. Single-family detached homes and row houses make up the bulk of the neighborhood, and many of those homes carry original concrete flatwork, aging rooflines, and siding that has weathered decades of Maryland freeze-thaw cycles. The mix of Baltimore Highlands, Rosemont, and Halethorpe Heights means property types range from compact row homes on tight lots to mid-century ranches with rear driveways. Older concrete driveways in this area often show surface scaling and joint cracking from repeated winter salt exposure and ground movement.

Concrete and Roofing Built for Halethorpe's Older Homes

Halethorpe's housing stock is dense and aging. Most detached homes here were built before 1970, and the concrete flatwork poured alongside them has had decades to crack, heave, and spall from Maryland's freeze-thaw cycles. Replacing a driveway or front walkway on a row home or ranch in Baltimore Highlands requires working within tight lot lines and matching grade to existing curbs, which takes experience with compact urban sites.

Roofing on Halethorpe's row homes presents its own set of conditions. Low-slope sections above rear additions hold water longer than steep-pitch roofs, which accelerates shingle wear and increases the risk of deck rot underneath. Catching these issues before they reach the decking saves homeowners significant repair costs down the road.

Richard Montelius has been working in construction since 2019, and that background shapes how this team approaches older Baltimore County neighborhoods. We do not treat a 1950s Halethorpe ranch the same way we treat a newer build. The materials, the access, and the scope of work are different, and we plan accordingly.

Every service, available in Halethorpe, MD

Homes in Halethorpe built between the 1940s and 1960s frequently need new concrete driveways where the original slabs have heaved or scaled from freeze-thaw stress. Roofing replacements are also a high-demand service here, as older asphalt shingles on low-slope row-home roofs degrade faster under standing water and ice damming. Siding work is common on the mid-century detached homes throughout Baltimore Highlands, where original wood or early vinyl cladding has reached the end of its service life. Hardscape improvements like front stoops and walkways round out the most requested work in this community.

We had a new patio, deck and roofing done in our Columbia home. More recently we did some backyard landscaping to complement it. Richard's father-and-son team was a pleasure to work with. Not only did they have highest quality craftsmanship at a reasonable price, Richard often came up with design and material ideas which helped to shape the project. He also has been very helpful in addressing the unexpected complications that inevitably arise in renovating an old home.

today I had a tree removed this is been one of five The price was very reasonable the job was done quickly, completely with no Mas left behind.’ I have also received an estimate for a new roof this estimate was in detail with pictures explaining everything not just verbal this is what will do and this is what the cost will be. we intend to have a roof done by R&R in the early fall but in the meantime will be getting estimates for other repairs that need to be done. you will not regret using this company that’s a realtor for over 25 years I’ve dealt with a lot of companies and this is truly one of the best.

This family business was a pleasure to work with. They came at a time of crisis for water mitigation after my sump pump died. They worked against a quick timeline and high pressure situation. They were calm, communicative, helpful and went above and beyond to ensure the repair and reconstruction process was handled with care and with top quality results. I recommended them to my mother a week later who used them right away. A++

General Contractor FAQ for Halethorpe, MD

Common questions from Halethorpe, MD customers about our services, process, and coverage.

Most driveways in Halethorpe were poured decades ago alongside homes built in the 1940s through 1960s. Maryland's freeze-thaw cycles push moisture into small cracks each winter, widening them over time. Road salt tracked in from nearby streets also accelerates surface scaling on older slabs. Replacement with properly reinforced concrete and sealed joints stops this cycle.

Yes. Row homes in Baltimore Highlands and Rosemont often have narrow side yards and shared walls, which limits staging space. We plan material delivery and debris removal around those constraints before work begins. Low-slope rear roof sections common on these homes also get specific attention to drainage and underlayment to prevent water pooling.

Mid-century detached homes in Halethorpe often have original wood or early vinyl siding that has warped or lost its seal. Fiber cement and modern vinyl profiles are both good fits because they handle Maryland's humidity and temperature swings without the maintenance demands of wood. We assess the existing sheathing condition before recommending a product so the new siding has a solid substrate.

We do. Combining concrete flatwork on the driveway and front stoop in one project is more efficient and keeps the disruption to your property contained to a single mobilization. It also lets us tie the grades together cleanly so water drains away from the foundation rather than pooling at the entry.
