Roofer in Mount Airy, MD
On Parrs Ridge, 800 feet up, Mount Airy roofs take a lot of wind and about 28 inches of snow a year. If yours is losing shingles every storm, or growing icicles along the gutters every January, the wind and snow are usually why.

What wind and snow do to a roof on the ridge
Wind. Shingles are sealed to each other by a strip of adhesive. Every strong gust lifts the edges a little, and over the years that seal breaks. Once a tab is loose, the next storm can tear it off. On an exposed ridge, the side facing the prevailing wind usually wears first.
Snow and ice. Snow on a roof melts from the bottom, where heat escapes from the house. The water runs down to the cold eave, refreezes and builds an ice dam, then backs up under the shingles. The lasting fix is two things working together: proper attic ventilation, and ice and water shield, a waterproof membrane that Maryland requires along the eaves and in the valleys where ice dams form. We install ice and water shield on every roof, and fix the attic ventilation when it isn't right.
Age. Mount Airy grew from about 6,400 people in 2000 to over 9,200 by 2010. A lot of houses from that building boom still have their first roof, and those roofs are reaching the age where wind damage shows up faster.

Many of the newer neighborhoods have homeowners associations. If you're changing shingle color, check your association's rules first. We'll give you the manufacturer's spec sheet and the exact color name to submit with your application.

Mount Airy roofing FAQs
Yes. We serve the whole 21771 area, on both sides of the county line.
Not necessarily. If the rest of the roof is sound, replacing the missing shingles and resealing the loose ones may be all it needs. If shingles are coming loose all over, the adhesive has probably given out across the roof. The inspection tells you which.
Two things together. Proper attic ventilation keeps the roof deck cold, so snow doesn't melt from underneath and refreeze at the edge. And ice and water shield, a waterproof membrane required in Maryland along the eaves and in the valleys, stops any water that does back up from getting into the house. Every roof we install gets ice and water shield, and we fix the ventilation when it isn't right.
