Exterior remodeling in Chevy Chase, Maryland
Chevy Chase is older than almost anywhere else we work. Kenwood was platted in 1927, Rollingwood built out through the 1930s and 40s, and the Colonial Revival, Tudor and Cape Cod housing across the Village dates from the 1890s onward. The county puts the median year built at 1963, which means the typical detached house here is on its third asphalt roof and is often still carrying original wood siding or windows replaced once in the 1990s.
Older housing rewards a contractor who slows down. Tudor and Colonial Revival rooflines have more valleys, dormers and transitions than a 1990s colonial, and that is exactly where water finds its way in. Slate and tile roofs in the Village need to be assessed on their own terms rather than defaulted to asphalt. When original wood trim comes off, we frequently find rot behind it that nobody could have seen from the ground — we would rather price that honestly up front than surprise you mid-project.
What we replace on Chevy Chase homes
- Roofing — full roof replacement in asphalt, architectural and designer shingles, plus metal roofing. GAF Master Elite certified, which places us in roughly the top 2% of roofing contractors in North America.
- Siding & trim — James Hardie fiber cement, vinyl, engineered wood and full trim replacement. We are a James Hardie Elite Preferred contractor.
- Windows & doors — replacement windows, entry doors, patio and storm doors from Andersen, Marvin, Pella, ProVia and others, with a lifetime workmanship warranty on our installation.
- Gutters — seamless aluminium gutters, downspouts and leaf protection, sized to the roof area actually feeding them rather than matching whatever the builder hung.
Permitting and architectural review in Chevy Chase
This is the part most contractors get wrong here. Chevy Chase Village and parts of Kenwood sit inside designated historic districts, which means exterior changes — roofing material, siding, window profiles, even colour — go through review before work can start. Martin’s Additions and Section Five have their own municipal permitting on top of Montgomery County. We provide the product specifications, manufacturer documentation and material samples these reviews require, and we plan the schedule around the review calendar rather than assuming it will be quick.
Why Chevy Chase homeowners choose Sunshine
Two things, mostly. We have been family owned and operating out of Woodbridge since 1993, and the crews who show up at your home work for us rather than being subcontracted that week. That second one matters more than it sounds: manufacturer warranties on roofing and siding assume the product went on exactly to specification, and subcontracted labour is where that assumption tends to break down.
We are rated 4.9 out of 5 across more than 999 verified customer reviews, hold GAF Master Elite and James Hardie Elite Preferred certification, and are BBB A+ accredited.
Chevy Chase, MD exterior remodeling questions
Do you repair roofs in Chevy Chase, or only replace them?
We replace. Sunshine Contracting is a full-replacement contractor rather than a patch-and-repair outfit, and that is deliberate. Patching one section of an aging roof puts new material against old material that is already at the end of its life, and the seam between them becomes the next leak. We do handle emergency roof replacement when a Chevy Chase home has taken real damage and cannot wait, but even then the work is a full replacement.
Are you licensed to work in Maryland?
Yes. Sunshine Contracting holds Maryland Home Improvement Commission license #05-131843 alongside our Virginia Class A license, and we carry general liability and workers’ compensation insurance. We have been family owned and operating out of Woodbridge since 1993 and have served more than 30,000 homeowners across the region.
Which Chevy Chase ZIP codes do you cover?
We work throughout 20815 and 20825, including Chevy Chase Village, Martin’s Additions, Kenwood, Rollingwood, Somerset and Chevy Chase Section Five. If you are close to the edge of a ZIP code, call and ask rather than assuming.
How long does a roof replacement take on a Chevy Chase home?
Most single-family homes come off and go back on inside one to two days, weather permitting. Larger Chevy Chase homes, steep pitches, multiple dormers or several roof planes take longer — and the older, more complex rooflines here often do. We give you the realistic number before you sign rather than the optimistic one, and we do not start a tear-off we cannot dry in the same day.
What does a roof or siding replacement cost in Chevy Chase?
Anyone quoting a number over the phone is guessing. Price depends on square footage, pitch, how many layers have to come off, whether the decking underneath is sound, how much flashing and ventilation work is involved, and which product you choose. We measure your home, tell you what we find and give you a firm written price. No pressure to sign at the table.
