Gaithersburg is one of Montgomery County's most dynamic cities, home to a broad mix of housing types — from the master-planned communities of Kentlands and Lakelands to the established single-family neighborhoods around the original downtown and Rio area. Legacy Built Exteriors has been working throughout Gaithersburg since 2009, and we understand that the city's newer planned developments and its older neighborhoods have very different exterior challenges. Whether you need a new roof for a Kentlands townhome or updated gutters for a 1970s split-level, we bring the same expertise and commitment to every project.
Gaithersburg homeowners trust us because we're straightforward: we show up on time, give honest assessments, and don't push unnecessary work. Our team handles every aspect of the project from initial inspection through final cleanup, and we manage all permitting and inspections with the City of Gaithersburg or Montgomery County depending on your location. Our crews are W-2 employees — not day laborers or subcontractors — which means consistent workmanship on every project.
We offer the full range of exterior services Gaithersburg homes need: roof replacement and repair, James Hardie fiber cement siding, seamless aluminum gutter installation, and soffit and fascia replacement. One company, one point of contact, one standard of quality.
From Kentlands townhomes to Rio area colonials — professional exterior services tailored to every Gaithersburg property type.
Gaithersburg's housing market spans over a century of development, but much of its current stock was built during two distinct booms: the postwar era of the 1960s and 1970s, and the planned community development of the 1990s and 2000s. Homes from the earlier era often have aging wood siding, outdated roofing, and undersized gutter systems that can't handle today's increasingly intense storm events. Kentlands, Lakelands, and similar newer developments are now 20–30 years old — old enough that original roofing and siding is reaching the end of its designed lifespan.
Gaithersburg's location in upper Montgomery County also means slightly higher elevation and greater exposure to winter weather than communities closer to DC. Ice dam formation on low-slope roof sections is a recurring issue we address regularly. Proper attic insulation and ventilation — often improved during a re-roofing project — can significantly reduce ice dam risk in subsequent winters.
Many Gaithersburg communities, particularly Kentlands, have active HOAs with architectural review requirements. We're experienced working within these frameworks and can advise on material and color selections that will meet approval while delivering the performance and longevity you need.

We know Gaithersburg's neighborhoods and HOA communities well, and have worked with Kentlands and Montgomery Village architectural review boards on material approvals.
We pull all required permits and manage inspections — nothing falls on the homeowner.
Maryland requires MHIC licensing for all home improvement contractors. We are fully licensed and insured with full liability and workers' comp coverage.
Honest estimates, transparent communication, and craftsmanship that holds up for decades.
Kentlands and Lakelands HOAs require homeowner submissions to their Architectural Review Committee before most exterior work begins. We can assist by providing material specifications, color samples, and product cut sheets to support your application. We've worked with Kentlands homeowners through this process before and are familiar with commonly approved materials and profiles.
Gaithersburg's slightly higher elevation in upper Montgomery County means more frequent and heavier ice and snow accumulation compared to communities closer to DC. Ice dams — where ice forms at roof edges and causes water to back up under shingles — are a recurring issue on homes with poor attic insulation or insufficient ventilation. When we replace a roof, we evaluate and address the underlying ventilation system, which is often the real cause of ice dam problems.
Age is just one factor. A 25-year-old roof with proper ventilation, minimal storm damage, and no major leak history may have years of service life remaining. Conversely, a 15-year-old roof that was poorly installed or sits under heavy tree coverage with moss growth may already be failing. Our free inspections include a detailed condition assessment — we'll give you our honest professional opinion rather than a blanket recommendation for replacement.
Sectional gutters have seams every few feet that are common failure points for leaks — especially after freeze-thaw cycling in Maryland winters. Seamless gutters are formed on-site as a single continuous piece, eliminating seam failures almost entirely. They also look cleaner and require less maintenance. We install seamless aluminum gutters exclusively and size them properly for each home's drainage requirements.
A typical single-family home siding installation takes three to seven days depending on home size, complexity of trim work, and the number of stories. Homes with significant architectural detail or custom trim profiles take longer. We provide timeline estimates before the project starts and keep homeowners informed throughout. Most Gaithersburg projects are completed with minimal disruption to daily routines.
