Roof Repair · Gaithersburg, MD
Roof repairs across Gaithersburg, from older homes near Olde Towne to the Kentlands and Lakelands houses built from 1988 on, handled by a GAF Certified Plus crew that knows the City of Gaithersburg permit process.
Gaithersburg roof repair
Gaithersburg's housing splits into two eras. Kentlands and Lakelands, the New Urbanist communities begun in 1988 around the original Kentlands farm, are now reaching the age of their first major roof work. Original shingles at that point start to lose granules, crack along exposed edges and let go at pipe boots and vents. A targeted repair often buys real time, and we'll tell you honestly when the roof is better off replaced.
The older neighborhoods near Olde Towne carry roofs that are well past due, and they fail differently. Shingles turn brittle, decking softens where water has been getting in slowly for years, and flashing has been patched over more than once. The next storm finds the weak spot. We check the decking as well as the surface, photograph what we find, and put the repair, or the case for replacement, in writing first.
What we fix
Many Kentlands and Lakelands homes are still on their original shingles. We replace cracked, bald or loose sections in a matched color so the repair holds and passes design review.
Rubber pipe boots and vent flashing wear out long before the shingles around them. We replace the boot and reseat the surrounding shingles, a small fix that stops a very common leak.
Older roofs near Olde Towne leak first at their most worn spots. We patch those areas and any soft decking beneath to buy time, and tell you plainly how much life the roof has left.

Water coming in right now? Call and we prioritize a same-day tarp to stop the damage, then schedule the permanent repair right away.
Local know-how
Gaithersburg is an incorporated city, so permits come from the City of Gaithersburg rather than Montgomery County. Small repairs generally don't need one; larger jobs that replace decking or a large share of the roof can, and we check and pull the city permit when it's required. In Kentlands and Lakelands, design standards cover roofing material, profile and color, so we match the repair to the existing roof and handle any approval it needs.
The June 2012 derecho drove damaging winds across Montgomery County, and Gaithersburg sees the same wind and hail as the rest of the region. Storm damage of that kind, including fallen limbs, is often covered by homeowners insurance. We photograph each damaged area and give you a written report your adjuster can use.
