Service Area

Roofing & gutters
in Petworth.

Wardman-era porch rows block after block. Petworth flat roofs, porch roofs, and gutters done right the first time.

Working on Petworth's homes

Petworth is Wardman country: sturdy brick rowhouses with full porches, flat main roofs, and tin-capped porch roofs that are usually the first thing to fail. We re-cover and flash porch roofs properly, keep main membranes coated and drained, and replace the gutters that a century of service has worn out.

What we handle in Petworth

  • 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.
