Roofing Contractor in Germantown, Maryland

Germantown is mostly late-twentieth-century development: colonials, contemporaries and very large townhome communities laid out across the upper county between Gaithersburg and Clarksburg. Many of these homes are now reaching the point where their original builder roofs need replacing all at once.

Builder-grade three-tab shingles, minimal attic ventilation and thin decking are the common inheritance here. When we replace, we address the ventilation and the decking rather than laying a better shingle over the same underlying problems. Townhome sections need coordinated detailing at party walls and shared valleys so one unit's roof doesn't drain into the neighbour's.

The upper county is more open than the neighbourhoods inside the Beltway, and Germantown roofs take more direct thunderstorm wind exposure as a result — creased and lifted shingles along ridge lines, and tab loss on the windward gable end. Hail during severe cells is the other regular cause of damage. We fly the roof with a drone and give you a photo report.
