Featured Customer Spotlight: Silver Spring Roofing Project: Ms. Lopez – From Leaks to Lifetime Warranty

Location: Near Forest Glen
Roof System: GAF Timberline HDZ, Color: Charcoal

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.

After every roofing project, we do a full magnet sweep across the yard, driveway, and flower beds to catch nails and metal debris that come off during tear-off.

Customer Spotlight: Historic Roof Decking & Proper Chimney Flashing in Silver Spring, MD

When we started this roof replacement in Silver Spring, we knew we were working on a well-built older home — the kind that holds up better than most modern construction. Unlike today’s homes that use OSB or plywood, this one had true plank wood decking, installed decades ago using solid lumber.

Plank decking like this is rare to find in good shape, but it's a testament to how well-built many Silver Spring homes were. Even after a leak had been present for some time, we only had to replace a small section of damaged planks. The rest of the deck was solid and ready to support a full GAF Golden Pledge system.

Precision Flashing Detail with Reglet Cuts

One of the key differences in how Capitol Improvements installs roofing is our attention to the small but important details—especially around the chimney. Many roofers will simply tack on flashing and seal it with a bead of caulk. That might work short-term, but it won’t stand up to Silver Spring’s freeze/thaw cycles or heavy rains.

We take the extra step to cut a reglet—a precise slit into the mortar line of the brick chimney. Then we insert the metal flashing directly into the cut before sealing it. This does two things:

1. Prevents water from slipping behind the flashing, which is a common cause of chimney leaks.
2. Creates a clean, professional look that’s built to last.

You won’t notice the difference from the ground, but it’s exactly the kind of long-term craftsmanship that separates a professional roof from a patch job.
