HOW CAN WE HELP?

Seven years on craftsmanship — both structural and general — and two years on the electrical, plumbing, heating, cooling, and ventilation systems we install, measured from the date of substantial completion. Most builders warrant their work for one year.

Most closet installations don't require a permit, since they don't involve structural changes. If your project involves moving walls or expanding the closet's footprint, we'll handle any required permitting as part of the project.

No — we bring the showroom to you. Our design team comes to your home with real cabinet, countertop, and fixture samples, plus video and design visuals, so you see every material in your own lighting, next to your own floors and paint. That's where showroom lighting fools people — your home never will. No driving, no sales floor, no pressure. Schedule your free in-home design consultation.

Look for missing, curling, or cracked shingles, dark algae streaks, or granules collecting in your gutters. Water stains on ceilings or in the attic are also warning signs. If your roof is 20 years or older, schedule a free roof inspection and we will give you an honest answer.

One company handles your architectural design, permits, budget, and construction with a single point of contact — instead of you coordinating an architect and a contractor separately. See each stage on our process page.

We serve six Maryland counties: Queen Anne's, Talbot, Caroline, Kent, Dorchester, and Anne Arundel — communities like Stevensville, Chester, Grasonville, Kent Island, Easton, Annapolis, Arnold, Cambridge, Denton, and Centreville. See our service areas page for the full coverage map.

Every project differs, so we set the real schedule during design — and put it in writing. Design and selections typically take a few weeks; construction time depends on scope. Our process page shows each stage from consultation to completion.

Start with our Maryland home renovation planning guide and pre-design questionnaire. It walks you through the questions we will ask about goals, budget, and timing — most homeowners find it clarifies their own priorities.

Yes. We hold MHIC licenses #134337 and #154049 and are fully insured in Maryland. You can verify both on the state MHIC site, and our warranties and certifications page lists our credentials.

Yes. Every custom closet system is designed around your specific space, whether it's a small reach-in closet or a large walk-in.

We are certified installers of Atlas shingles with 3M Scotchgard Protector , which resists the black algae streaks common in Maryland's humid climate. Options range from architectural shingles to Class 4 impact-rated StormMaster Shake. You can compare every shingle line in our shingle products suite.

The manufacturer warranty covers the product itself — a shingle that fails, a window seal that leaks. Our craftsmanship warranty covers the installation. Most warranty disputes fall in the gap between the two, which is why we carry both, and why we handle manufacturer claims on your behalf for your first three years.

Most asphalt shingle roofs are replaced in one to three days once materials arrive, depending on the size and pitch of your roof and the weather. We schedule around Chesapeake Bay weather windows and walk you through each step of our process before work begins.

Yes — room additions, screened porches, and whole-home transformations across our six-county service area. Additions are where design-build shines, because structural design, permits, and construction stay under one roof. Request a feasibility consultation.

Cost depends on the size of the closet and the materials and features you choose. We provide honest, upfront pricing during your free in-home estimate — no surprise costs.

Design happens in-house — the same company that builds your project designs it, so nothing gets lost between a designer and a contractor. That is the core of our design-build approach.

Yes, one time, at no cost to the first buyer. Notify us in writing within thirty days of settlement and the balance of the seven-year period transfers with the home. The period continues from the original completion date rather than restarting. The service commitments — scheduled walkthroughs, response times, and manufacturer claim handling — are provided to the original owner and do not transfer unless we confirm otherwise in writing.

It is our written promise covering transparent pricing, respect for your property, and clear communication at every step. Read the full Customer Bill of Rights — it is the standard we hold every project to.

We serve homeowners in Queen Anne's, Talbot, Caroline, Kent, Dorchester, and Anne Arundel counties — including Stevensville, Kent Island, Easton, Centreville, Cambridge, Denton, Annapolis, and Arnold. See the full list on our service areas page

Request a free consultation online or call our office at 443-212-8777. We visit your home, measure, and deliver a detailed written estimate — no vague allowances.

Yes. Our in-house design team creates the layout, and our own installation crew builds it — so the finished closet matches what was planned.

New clients currently receive $1,000 toward professional design services when starting a project with our team. It covers layout planning, material selections, and a detailed scope and budget before construction begins. Claim it through our contact page.

Every roof includes the full manufacturer's warranty plus our limited lifetime labor warranty. That means we stand behind the installation itself, not just the shingles. See the details on our warranties and certifications page.

Email info@bayrenovations.com or call 443-212-8777 within thirty days of noticing the issue. We acknowledge within two business days and inspect within ten. If the issue is a covered craftsmanship defect, we repair or replace it at our expense. If water is actively entering your home, call rather than email — we respond the same day.

Cost depends on cabinetry grade, countertop material, layout changes, and appliances. [$10,000 to $35,000.00+]. Our Customer Bill of Rights guarantees transparent pricing — you will see exactly what everything costs before you sign.

Yes. Bay American Homes Builders, LLC, trading as Bay America, holds MHIC license #134337 and Maryland Home Builder Registration #9100 — Maryland licenses remodeling and home building separately, and we hold both. We carry general liability and workers' compensation insurance. Every credential is publicly verifiable.

Everything you need under one roof: exterior renovations (roofing, siding, windows, doors, insulation, decks), kitchen and bath remodeling through American Kitchen & Bath, and full design-build projects including additions. Browse all services to see everything we do.

We develop the budget during design — before construction — so you approve real numbers, not allowances that balloon later. Transparent pricing is a written commitment in our Customer Bill of Rights.

Yes. Our roofing systems include ridge ventilation that lets trapped attic heat escape, which reduces the load on your cooling system in Maryland summers. Pairing a new roof with proper attic insulation gives the biggest efficiency gain.

Yes, and combining them usually saves money on mobilization and keeps disruption to one window of time. Larger combined projects run through our design-build process with a single project manager.

A complete file for your home, handed to you at completion: every product and model number, paint colors and sheens, finish schedules, appliance serial numbers, manufacturer warranty registrations, and photographs of what is behind your walls before they were closed. Most homeowners never receive this. It is yours to keep, and it is worth real money at resale.

It depends on roof size, pitch, the shingle line you choose, and how many layers need removal. [$2,000.00 to $8,000.00+]. The only accurate number is a written estimate — request your free estimate and we will measure and price it properly.

The full Atlas manufacturer warranty on the shingles, plus our seven-year craftsmanship warranty on the installation. Because we are a certified Atlas installer, your project can also qualify for Atlas system warranties such as Signature Select®. We register the manufacturer warranty for you.

Yes. We pull the required county permits for roofing work across Queen Anne's, Talbot, Caroline, Kent, Dorchester, and Anne Arundel counties, and our installers are trained on local code. Permits are built into our process, not an extra headache for you.

Many manufacturer warranties are conditional on installation by a certified installer following documented specifications. Installation by an uncertified crew can void product coverage — and homeowners usually discover this only when they file a claim. Our certifications keep your manufacturer coverage intact.

Search the contractor's name or license number on the Maryland Home Improvement Commission registry at dllr.state.md.us/license/mhic, or call the Commission at 1-888-218-5925. For new home construction, check Home Builder Registration separately through the Attorney General's Consumer Protection Division. We recommend doing this for every contractor you are considering — including us. Our numbers are MHIC #134337 and MHBR #9100.
