Roofing & gutters
in Capitol Hill.

Working on Capitol Hill's homes

Capitol Hill's blocks run from Federal-era flat-fronts to ornate Victorian bays, most of them sharing party walls, parapets, and flat membrane roofs you can't see from the street. Historic-district rules shape what's visible — slate, metal, cornice details — and we know how to work within them. From East Capitol Street out to Lincoln Park, we've patched, coated, and replaced just about every roof type the Hill hides behind its cornices.

What we handle in Capitol Hill

• Flat roofing — TPO, EPDM, and modified bitumen with proper parapet and scupper detail.
• Roof coatings — reflective coatings that cool the top floor and stretch the roof's life.
• Roof repair — leaks traced to the source — 24/7 for emergencies.
• Brick pointing — matched mortar for century-old rowhouse walls and parapets.
• Gutter installation — seamless runs and downspouts sized for real storms.
• Chimney pointing — rooftop masonry that stops ceiling stains below.

Built for DC weather

Flat rowhouse roofs live a hard life here: summer sun bakes the membrane, fall fills the scuppers with leaves, and winter freeze-thaw works at every parapet joint. The failures are predictable — ponding, seam splits, parapet wicking — and so are the fixes, if they're done before water finds the plaster. Our materials and details are specced for exactly this housing stock.

Honest, neighbor-first estimates

Most of our Capitol Hill work comes from neighbors recommending us to neighbors. That only works when we're honest about what your home actually needs. If the roof has another ten years in it, we'll say so. If it doesn't, we'll show you why with photos.
