Roofing & gutters
in Georgetown.

Slate, copper, and Federal-period brick — Georgetown roofing and masonry done to the standard the neighborhood demands.

Working on Georgetown's homes

Georgetown's housing stock is the oldest in the city — Federal townhouses and Victorian rows where the roof might be standing-seam metal, slate, or a built-in box gutter hidden behind a parapet. Old Georgetown Board review means materials and details matter, and shortcuts show. We repair and restore with period-correct slate, copper flashing, and lime-based mortar, and we handle the documentation that review requires.

What we handle in Georgetown

  • Slate roofing — mansards and turrets repaired with matched salvaged slate.
  • Flat roofing — the hidden flat decks behind those ornate cornices.
  • Brick restoration — gentle cleaning, repointing, and matched brick replacement.
  • Chimney repair — crowns, caps, and spalled brick fixed for good.
  • Gutter installation — half-round copper and box gutter relining for historic facades.
  • Roof repair — storm damage and leaks handled before they grow.

Built for DC weather

Victorian-era roofs and masonry fail gracefully — a slipped slate here, a hairline crown crack there — until one winter they don't. Freeze-thaw pries open whatever water can reach, and DC gets dozens of those cycles a season. We work on these houses the way they were built: matched materials, patient detail work, and metal that lasts as long as the stone.
