Roofing Contractor in Silver Spring, MD

Our office is at 4915 St Elmo Ave in Bethesda, a short run down Georgia Avenue, so Silver Spring is one of the fastest calls we make.

Neighborhood characteristics are general observations from our own work in Silver Spring and won't describe every property. An on-site inspection is what establishes the actual condition and scope for your roof.

Montgomery County takes hail and severe wind every storm season. One-inch hail bruises shingles even when the roof looks untouched from the ground, and sixty-mile-an-hour gusts crease shingles and break their seal — the kind of damage that starts leaking months later, once the claim window has tightened. If a storm has crossed Silver Spring in the past year, your inspection is free and the photo report is yours either way. If it is storm damage, your insurance likely covers a full replacement and we document the damage and meet your adjuster start to finish.

Much of Silver Spring inside the Beltway — Woodside Park, Sligo Park Hills, Seven Oaks, East Silver Spring and the bungalow blocks off Georgia Avenue — was built between the 1920s and early 1950s. These homes have board decking with knots and gaps, rafters sized to old lumber standards, and in many cases multiple generations of roofing stacked up. It’s common for our crews to open up a 20910 or 20901 roof and find cedar shingles under two layers of asphalt: three roofs’ worth of weight the framing was never meant to hold long-term.

The other Silver Spring signature is the low-slope roof: flat front-porch roofs on foursquares and bungalows, rear additions in Long Branch and Hillandale, and shed dormers everywhere. These sections fail years before the main roof does, because a shingle installed on a nearly flat pitch is a leak waiting for the right rainstorm. Add clogged gutters under the area’s dense tree cover and chronically under-ventilated finished attics, and you have the exact leak patterns we diagnose in Silver Spring every week.
