What we actually find here
The leaks Gaithersburg homes actually get
Gaithersburg sits in the upper I-270 hail corridor, and the 20877 and 20878 ZIPs appear repeatedly in regional hail records. That shapes the repair work: a large share of what looks like a random leak here is actually hail bruising from a storm months or years earlier that finally opened up. Montgomery Village's 1960s-70s stock and the 1990s Kentlands builds also bring HOA-approved material lists into the repair conversation.
The detail that catches people out
If your roof has taken hail and you repair only the leaking spot, the rest of the bruised field keeps failing. It is worth having the whole slope evaluated before deciding between repair and replacement.
What repairs cost in Gaithersburg
Gaithersburg repairs commonly run $400 to $1,600. If hail is involved, the inspection and photo report are free and yours to keep regardless of what you decide.
Permits
Structural roof work in Gaithersburg is permitted through the City of Gaithersburg (inside city limits) or Montgomery County DPS (outside it). We pull the permit when the scope requires one — you don't file anything yourself. Most straightforward repairs don't require a permit; we'll tell you which category yours falls into during the inspection.
Cost ranges are estimates based on our own work in Gaithersburg and vary with pitch, access, decking condition and material. An on-site inspection produces the actual number. Permit requirements can change; we confirm current requirements for your specific parcel before work begins.
