I hope you report the contactors and also leave them a bad review on Angie's list and Google reviews or wherever you found them.

This will sound tone-deaf, but this is why I will always buy new construction homes. Everything is up to the latest code and I don't have to worry about the roof or HVAC for decades... I would rather pay up more to not deal with issues of old homes.

You’re right. This does sound terribly tone-deaf, elitist, and unhelpful because there are very few newer homes available and they are more expensive.

Baltimore has the 3rd oldest homes out of all large US Cities.
The median residential home age is 75 years.
Only 1.7% of Baltimore homes were built after 2014.
