When we met Ms Lopez she was a new homeowner and knew the house needed a new roof. The solar panels that we're installed had caused leaking in the roof as they had bracketed through the roof to secure the panels. When we tore this roof off there was a fair bit of plywood that needed to be replaced from water intrusion at the points of these brackets. We got the roof installed in 2 days and Ms Lopez now has a lifetime roofing system backed by GAF.

Roofing Codes and Permit Requirements in Silver Spring, MD

In Silver Spring, MD, roofing installations must follow the Montgomery County Building Code.

Roofing materials must meet the local fire resistance, durability, and energy efficiency standards. Common materials include asphalt shingles, metal, and slate, but all materials must be approved. Our manufacturers have met all these codes to ensure we install a roof not only to code but exceeding code.

Proper underlayment (e.g., felt or synthetic) is required for moisture protection and should meet code specifications for wind resistance and water shedding.

Adequate attic ventilation is required to prevent moisture buildup and ice damming. The ratio of vented area to total attic space is specified.

Certain roofing systems may have specific requirements depending on the roof pitch (e.g., steep slope roofs vs. low slope also known as flat roofs).

The roofing system must be designed to handle local wind and snow loads based on Montgomery County's geographic requirements.

Proper flashing around chimneys, skylights, and vents is essential to prevent water infiltration.

A permit is required for roof replacements or significant repairs. Inspections are typically necessary during and after installation to ensure compliance.

For more detailed requirements, you can refer to the Montgomery County Department of Permitting Services or consult the Montgomery County Building Code directly.
