Siding and roof repair don't need a permit unless the house is historic or a county landmark, where any size of deck, fence or shed needs one.

Common questions

Who actually does the work?

An independently owned contractor licensed by the Maryland Home Improvement Commission. TBG makes the introduction; it does not perform or sell the work.

Does it cost me anything?

No. Matching is free to homeowners. TBG is paid by its partner contractors.

How do I check a contractor's license?

Every partner shows their MHIC number, which you can look up on the Maryland Department of Labor site. Contractors must also show it on their contracts, trucks and ads.

What happens after I submit?

We review your request and connect you with one partner who covers your area and your type of project. They contact you to schedule a site visit and a written quote.
