Bethesda Roofing Company
GAF Master Elite roofers serving Edgemoor, Kenwood, Bradley Hills, Burning Tree, and every Bethesda block in between — with designer profiles, copper flashings, and lifetime workmanship on every roof.
Bethesda's Estate-Grade Roofing Contractor
Bethesda roofs are unlike anything else in the region: mature oak and tulip-poplar canopies dropping limbs in every storm, freeze/thaw cycles that ice-dam untreated valleys, and estate homes across Edgemoor, Kenwood, Bradley Hills, and Burning Tree where a standard asphalt roof looks out of place. Getting Bethesda right means specifying GAF Grand Sequoia or Camelot II designer profiles where the architecture calls for it, ice & water shield past code, and copper flashings that outlast the shingle itself.
Potomac Custom Remodeling is a GAF Master Elite contractor (top 2% of U.S. roofers) and MHIC #140855 licensed roofer serving Bethesda from our Crofton headquarters. Every Montgomery County DPS permit is pulled under our MHIC number and delivered closed with your warranty packet. Full-system installs — synthetic underlayment, extended ice & water shield, balanced ventilation, 6-nail high-wind pattern — are the default on every roof, not an upsell.

What Bethesda Homeowners Say
"Our Edgemoor Tudor needed a full re-roof and the original cedar shake was 40 years old. PCR walked us through synthetic slate options, installed GAF Camelot II with copper chimney flashing, and finished in 3 days. Neighbors are already asking who did it."
"Kenwood estate — bid three GAF Master Elite contractors. PCR was the only one that specified ice & water shield past code and Class 4 impact-rated Titan XT. Best proposal by far."
"Massive oak limb went through our Bradley Hills roof in a summer storm. PCR tarped that night, worked with State Farm, and had a full new GAF roof on within 12 days. Cleanup was spotless."
Bethesda Roofing FAQ
How much does a new roof cost in Bethesda, MD?
Most Bethesda single-family roof replacements run $16,000-$38,000 for architectural asphalt (GAF Timberline HDZ or Tamko Heritage) on a typical 22-32 square Colonial or Cape Cod. Estate homes in Edgemoor, Kenwood, Bradley Hills, and Burning Tree — or upgrades to GAF Grand Sequoia / Camelot II designer shingles — run $32,000-$75,000+. Every quote is fixed, written, and line-itemed on site.
Are you licensed to roof in Bethesda and Montgomery County?
Yes. Potomac Custom Remodeling holds Maryland Home Improvement Commission license #140855, carries $2M general liability, and provides full workers' compensation coverage. We pull every Montgomery County DPS permit under our MHIC number and deliver the closed permit with your warranty packet.
Which shingle brands do you install in Bethesda?
We install GAF and Tamko only. As a GAF Master Elite contractor (top 2% of U.S. roofers), we qualify Bethesda homeowners for the GAF Golden Pledge — GAF's strongest warranty, with 25 years of PCR workmanship coverage. Tamko installs carry the Heritage Premium warranty. We do not install Owens Corning, CertainTeed, or other brands.
How long does a Bethesda roof replacement take?
Most Bethesda single-family roofs are torn off and re-installed in one to two full days. Larger estate homes, steep-pitch Tudors, and designer synthetic-slate installs run 2-4 days. We tarp landscaping, magnetically sweep the site every evening, and haul debris in covered dump trailers — critical in Bethesda's tree-lined, closely-set neighborhoods.
How do you handle ice damming on Bethesda roofs?
Bethesda's freeze/thaw cycles regularly create ice dams in valleys, at eaves, and behind chimneys. On every replacement we install ice & water shield past Maryland code (typically 6 feet from the eave and full-width in every valley), balance ridge and soffit ventilation to reduce attic heat loss, and inspect insulation depth. Homeowners who've fought recurring ice dams see the problem end after a properly detailed re-roof.
Do you replace cedar-shake and slate roofs in Bethesda?
We replace failing cedar-shake and natural-slate roofs with synthetic profiles (GAF Grand Sequoia for shake, Camelot II for slate) that carry a lifetime warranty, Class A fire rating, and 130 mph wind rating — at a fraction of the ongoing maintenance cost of natural materials. Common on Edgemoor and Kenwood homes where the original roof has reached end of life.
Do you help with storm damage roofs in Bethesda?
Yes. Between summer thunderstorms, occasional hail, and falling limbs off Montgomery County's mature canopy, storm-related roof damage is common. We meet your adjuster on site, document damage with photos and drone footage, and provide the itemized scope your insurer needs to approve replacement. Under Maryland law only licensed public adjusters can negotiate claim amounts, so PCR focuses on accurate scopes, code-compliant repairs, and the strongest possible warranty on the new roof.
How quickly can you respond to a Bethesda emergency roof leak?
We tarp emergency leaks in Bethesda within 24 hours in almost every case. Call (443) 684-4448 anytime; after-hours calls route to our on-call roofer.
