Crofton is one of Anne Arundel County’s most cohesive planned communities, a community of approximately 30,000 residents developed primarily between the 1960s and 1990s, with a housing stock that is remarkably uniform in age and therefore remarkably predictable in its roofing needs. Dogwood Exteriors is based in Arnold, about 18 miles from Crofton, and we’ve done enough work throughout the community to understand its specific roofing characteristics. If you own a home in Crofton, here’s what you actually need to know.
Roof Replacement in Crofton, MD
Crofton’s core residential development, the neighborhoods surrounding Crofton Country Club, the townhome communities throughout the central area, and the single-family developments off Route 3 and MD-424, spans roughly 1965 to 1990. That’s a tight age range, which means a significant portion of Crofton’s housing stock entered or is currently in the replacement window simultaneously. Homes built in this era typically have 7/16″ OSB or plank decking, gable or ridge venting, and shingle systems that are now 25–40 years old. Many are on their first replacement. The 1990s construction in Crofton Meadows and South Crofton areas is entering that window now.
Crofton’s community associations maintain architectural standards that affect shingle color selection and sometimes product specification. We’re experienced with Crofton’s HOA landscape and handle the coordination efficiently.
