In fact, we base our success on cooperation and repeat business with the many satisfied clients that we continually produce.

For over 60 years, Roofing by Ruff has crowned many of Maryland’s finest buildings including: The State House, Baltimore City Hall, Baltimore Arena, and various other universities, colleges, hospitals, churches, schools, and other commercial establishments.

Warranties
Our experience with roofing systems of all types, on all types of buildings over many years, leads us to caution against relying too heavily on any warranty. A warranty is not a satisfactory substitute for good roofing design and a good roofing contractor. More important points to consider are a roofing system’s performance and a contractor’s track record.
