Roofing Contractor in Chevy Chase, Maryland

Chevy Chase has some of the oldest continuously maintained housing stock in Montgomery County — early-century colonials, tudors with steep gables and rolled eaves, and shingle-style homes with dormers, turrets and long valleys. Roofs like these are as much a matter of appearance as of performance, and both matter in the village neighbourhoods.

Steep, cut-up rooflines mean a lot of flashing: chimneys, dormer cheeks, sidewall transitions and step flashing behind additions. When we open these roofs up we usually find the shingles were replaced more than once while the original flashing stayed in place. Replacing it properly is what keeps the new roof dry. For homeowners who want the look of cedar without cedar's maintenance, synthetic cedar is a strong fit on these houses.

The area's tall, mature trees are the dominant risk factor. Summer storms bring down limbs onto steep slopes, and shaded north faces hold moisture and grow algae. We inspect with a drone rather than walking fragile or very steep roofs, and give you a photo report of what we actually found.
