A close runner‑up is spring about May, to early June, which sidesteps the sweltering summer heat and the harsh winter freezes.

Insurance & Storms

How common are storm-related roof claims in Gaithersburg, Maryland?

Storm‑related roof claims in Gaithersburg are relatively routine spurred by spring and summer thunderstorms occasional hail, strong winds and the occasional coastal storm in the fall and winter.

Occasionally floodwaters chew away at roofs. On rare occasions a localized tornado or a falling tree will also set off the need, for a new roof.
