ROOF REPLACEMENT · CHEVY CHASE, MD
Chevy Chase, MD Roof Replacement & Roofing Contractor
Roof replacement for Chevy Chase’s early 1900s houses, by a GAF Master Elite contractor. Maryland MHIC #05-131843.
What we actually find on Chevy Chase roofs
Chevy Chase houses date largely from the 1890s through the 1930s, with steep roofs, dormers and chimneys, and many originally had slate. In the Chevy Chase Village Historic District, roof material is part of the historic review.
On shingle roofs this old, chimney and dormer flashing is a common weak point, and decking condition only shows at tear-off. We serve all of Chevy Chase in 20815, Maryland.
Roofing for Chevy Chase homes
Our Chevy Chase roofs are GAF architectural or designer shingle systems over new underlayment, with ice and water shield at the eaves, in the valleys and around penetrations. In the historic district, slate replacement in kind is usually required on the most significant houses, while on other contributing houses a different material should generally be approved.

What a Chevy Chase roof replacement actually costs
Nobody can price a Chevy Chase roof over the phone. Steep pitches, dormers, chimneys and designer shingles all add labor and material.
- Roof size and pitch. A steep roof is slower and needs staging
- How many layers have to come off and go in the dumpster
- Decking condition, which nobody knows until tear-off
- Penetrations and planes such as dormers, skylights, chimneys and valleys
- Flashing and ventilation work the roof actually needs
- Which shingle you choose, from 3-tab up to designer

Chevy Chase roofing questions, answered
How much does a roof replacement cost in Chevy Chase, MD?
It depends on the size and pitch of the roof, dormers and chimneys, the decking, and which shingle you choose. Steep, detailed roofs cost more. Once we have measured, the price goes in writing and stays firm.
Do I need a permit to replace my roof in Montgomery County, MD?
Usually not from the county. Montgomery County lists roof covering as not needing a county permit. Exterior work on a historic property needs a Historic Area Work Permit, and municipalities like Chevy Chase Village have their own rules.

On the district’s most significant houses, slate replacement in kind is usually required. On other contributing houses, the guidelines say a different material should generally be approved. We supply the product data sheets and manufacturer color names.

A free pre-design meeting with Village staff. The Village tells you which permits apply, and a dumpster on your property needs a Village permit too.
