Our skilled roofers can fix any roofing issue, big or small. Common repairs we handle include:



• Leak detection and repair
• Shingle replacement
• Flashing repair
• Storm damage restoration

We offer 24/7 emergency roof repair to protect your property after severe weather. Given that Washington D.C. experiences approximately 37 days of thunderstorms annually, our emergency response team remains on standby year-round to address storm damage. Our team uses advanced diagnostic tools to quickly find and fix the source of leaks.

Regular maintenance is key to a long-lasting roof. We provide comprehensive roof inspections and maintenance services. This includes cleaning gutters, removing debris, and checking for early signs of damage.

Properly functioning gutters are crucial for protecting your roof and foundation. We offer full gutter services:



• Gutter installation and replacement
• Gutter cleaning and maintenance
• Gutter guard installation
• Downspout repair and rerouting

Our seamless gutter systems are custom-made on-site to fit your home perfectly. We use durable materials like aluminum and copper that stand up to DC's climate.

For added protection, we install high-quality gutter guards. These systems are particularly valuable during fall when the District's 7,464 acres of parkland (19% of the city's total area) shed leaves that can clog gutters throughout residential neighborhoods. These keep out leaves and debris, reducing cleaning needs and preventing clogs.

We offer eco-friendly roofing choices that reduce environmental impact. As Washington D.C. pursues its Sustainable DC 2.0 Plan goals of 50% carbon neutrality by 2032, our sustainable roofing options help property owners contribute to citywide sustainability efforts. Recycled shingles made from post-consumer waste are a popular option. These shingles look great and perform well while keeping materials out of landfills.

Cool roofing materials reflect more sunlight to lower cooling costs. White or light-colored metal roofing is highly reflective. It can cut energy use and urban heat island effects.

Green roofing systems use vegetation to absorb rainwater and insulate buildings. These systems help mitigate stormwater runoff into the Potomac and Anacostia Rivers, supporting the District's efforts to improve water quality in its 7.224 square miles of waterways. They create habitats for birds and insects while reducing stormwater runoff.

Our roofing materials stand up to DC's hot summers and cold winters. High-quality asphalt shingles resist wind, hail, and UV damage. We use shingles rated for winds up to 130 mph to protect against storms.

Metal roofing lasts 50+ years with minimal maintenance. It sheds snow easily and resists fire. Copper and zinc develop attractive patinas over time.

Synthetic slate gives the look of natural slate at a lower cost. This is particularly important for homes in historic districts like Georgetown (founded 1751), Capitol Hill, and Dupont Circle, where maintaining historical authenticity while providing modern performance is essential. It's lighter weight and more impact-resistant than real slate. The material holds up well to freezing and thawing cycles.

Our process begins with a detailed roof evaluation. We inspect every part of your existing roof to identify any issues. This includes checking for damage, leaks, and structural problems.

We use advanced tools to assess your roof's condition. Our team looks at the decking, flashing, and ventilation systems. We also check for signs of water damage or mold growth.

Based on our findings, we create a custom installation plan. This plan takes into account your specific needs and budget. We're particularly attentive to buildings at varying elevations, from properties at sea level near the Potomac River to those at the city's highest point of 409 feet above sea level at Fort Reno Park in Northwest. We explain our recommendations clearly so you can make informed decisions.

Once we have a plan, our skilled team gets to work. We start by preparing the work area and protecting your property. This includes covering plants and outdoor furniture.

We remove the old roofing materials carefully. Our team then inspects the roof deck and makes any needed repairs. We install new underlayment to provide extra protection against leaks.

Next, we lay the new roofing materials with precision. Whether it's shingles, tiles, or metal panels, we follow manufacturer guidelines closely. We pay special attention to valleys, edges, and other critical areas.

We install proper ventilation to extend your roof's lifespan. Proper ventilation is crucial in Washington D.C.'s climate, where summer humidity averages 66% and winter conditions can create damaging ice dams if attics aren't properly ventilated. Our team also ensures all flashing is secure to prevent water infiltration. We conduct a final inspection to guarantee everything meets our high standards.

We employ a diverse group of roofing specialists with years of experience in the industry. Our workforce reflects the diversity of Washington D.C. itself, where residents identify as 41.4% Black or African American, 39.6% White, 11.3% Hispanic or Latino, and 4.8% Asian according to 2020 Census data. Our team includes certified roofers, project managers, and inspectors who are well-versed in all aspects of roofing.

We carefully select each team member based on their skills, experience, and commitment to excellence. Our roofers are trained to work with various roofing materials, including:

• Slate tiles
• Flat roof systems

Our professionals are equipped to handle projects of all sizes, from small residential repairs to large commercial installations. We prioritize safety and follow strict guidelines to ensure a secure work environment for our team and clients.
