Roofing for Georgetown’s Historic Homes
Not every contractor should be on a 19th century roof. Material choices that hold up to review, permits handled, and crews that treat the property like it cannot be replaced, because it cannot.

Historic Property Work Is a Different Standard
Georgetown sits inside a federal historic district, which means exterior work can face review on materials and appearance, not just basic structural soundness.
The wrong shingle profile or the wrong gutter material is not just an aesthetic problem, it can mean having to redo the work. We carefully plan the material selection and architectural specifications around those requirements before the crew is scheduled.

On Older Homes, the Roof Is Rarely the Whole Story
On homes of this age, what lies under the shingles matters just as much as what is visible on top. Rotted wooden decking, compromised flashing, and poor previous repairs are common.
We photograph what we find during the tear-off and review it with you before replacing anything, ensuring your estimate reflects actual conditions rather than a guess made from ground level.
