Flat Roof, Coating & Roof Repair Contractor in Silver Spring, MD
Low-slope and flat roof repair, roof coatings, leak repair and inspections for Silver Spring commercial buildings, townhouses and older homes.
Commercial and Low-Slope Roofing in Silver Spring
Silver Spring is different from the rest of our service area. Downtown along Georgia Avenue and Colesville Road, and in the commercial strips and garden-apartment buildings around it, many roofs are flat or low-slope. Those roofs need membrane repairs, coatings and good drainage, not shingles.
To be clear, Silver Spring is at the outer edge of where we work. HomePro Contractors is based in Prince Frederick in Calvert County, so we take on Silver Spring projects mainly for commercial, low-slope and coating work, and we schedule them ahead of time. If you need a same-day emergency response, a closer contractor may be the better choice, and we'll tell you that.
For the projects we take on, we start with an inspection, photos and a straight recommendation: repair, coat, or replace.

Learn more →Why Flat Roofs in Silver Spring Fail
Flat and low-slope roofs don't shed water as quickly as pitched roofs, so heavy summer thunderstorms and long nor'easter rains test every seam, drain and scupper. When drains clog with leaves or debris, water ponds, and standing water works its way into weak seams and flashing.
Summer sun and heat age roof membranes and older coatings, causing cracks and shrinking at seams and edges. Winter freeze-thaw cycles then open those cracks wider. Regular checks and drain cleaning prevent a lot of interior leaks.
Silver Spring Buildings and Older Homes
Silver Spring has commercial buildings and garden apartments with flat roofs, attached and row-style townhouses with low-slope sections, and older single-family neighborhoods. Woodside Park, for example, was established in 1922 and has curving streets that follow the land. Many older homes have porch roofs, rear additions or dormers with low-slope sections that leak long before the main roof does.
If a property is in a Montgomery County historic district or on the county's historic sites list, exterior changes may need Historic Preservation Commission review. We check what Montgomery County requires before recommending materials.

Silver Spring Roofing Questions
What Silver Spring homeowners ask us most.
Do you really work in Silver Spring? You're based in Calvert County.
We do, but it's the outer edge of our service area. We mainly take on commercial, low-slope and coating projects here, and we schedule them in advance. If you need someone at the door within the hour, a closer contractor may serve you better.
Can a coating fix my leaking flat roof?
Sometimes. A coating works on a roof that's still structurally sound, after leaks are repaired and wet insulation is replaced. It's not a cover-up for a roof that's failing. We inspect first and tell you if coating makes sense.
Why does water sit on my flat roof after it rains?
Ponding usually comes from clogged drains or scuppers, sagging decking or a roof that wasn't sloped enough to drain. Small puddles that dry within a couple of days are common. Water that stays longer shortens the roof's life and should be checked.
My house is in an older Silver Spring neighborhood. Are there historic rules?
Some properties are in Montgomery County historic districts or on the county's historic sites list, and exterior changes there may need Historic Preservation Commission review. We check what applies to your address before suggesting materials.
Do I need a permit for roof work in Montgomery County?
It depends on the project. Montgomery County has its own permitting office, separate from Prince George's County, and we check what it requires for your job before we start.
