Anacostia & Hillcrest's Architectural Heritage
Perched on the bluffs overlooking the Anacostia River and the downtown monumental core, Historic Anacostia was initially established in 1854 as Uniontown. Many of its historic structures feature decorative Queen Anne and Italianate details, including decorative clay tile porch roofs, conical turret roofs, and ornamental terracotta ridge caps along Martin Luther King Jr Avenue SE and W Street SE.
In Hillcrest and Penn Branch along Pennsylvania Avenue SE and Branch Avenue SE, prominent 1920s and 1930s detached residences were designed in Spanish Colonial Revival, Tudor, and Georgian styles. These homes feature substantial clay barrel tile and interlocking concrete tile roofs that contend with elevated wind exposure and intense summer sun.
Because portions of Anacostia are protected under the DC Historic Preservation Office (HPO), repairs must use materials visually and structurally identical to the original fabric. Our team specializes in sourcing authentic salvage tiles, custom-forming copper valley pans, and executing HPO-compliant mortar repointing.

Precise diagnosis and restoration to stop water intrusion while preserving historical character.
Hip & Ridge Mortar Bedding
Hilltop winds and frost in Hillcrest deteriorate the mortar seal along hip and ridge courses. We chip out crumbled mortar, clean the bed, and repoint with flexible, breathable roofing mortar tinted to match original tones.
Copper Valley & Flashing Rehabilitation
Intersecting roof planes on Hillcrest homes channel significant rainfall. We replace corroded valley pans with custom-fabricated 16-oz copper troughs featuring center splash ribs that prevent cross-wash leaks.
Underlayment Lift & Relay
When original asphalt felt dries out, we systematically lift the sound tiles, replace rotted roof decking, apply modern high-temperature self-adhering SBS waterproofing membrane, and relay your original tiles with copper nails.
