Roof Repair · College Park, MD
Leak, flashing and storm repair for College Park's early- and mid-20th-century homes in Old Town, Calvert Hills, Berwyn and College Park Estates, including owner-occupied houses and rentals near the University of Maryland.
College Park roof repair
Most College Park housing along the Route 1 corridor dates to the early and mid-20th century, from foursquares to bungalows off Calvert Road. Many of those roofs are original or second-generation, some still carrying worn 3-tab, with attic ventilation that falls short of modern standards. When an old roof finally lets water through, it's usually at the chimney, along a valley, or where the decking has gone soft underneath.
Rental properties near the university add a wrinkle for owners who don't live on site and can't see a leak as it starts. Whether you live in the house or rent it out, we run a 25-point inspection, document what we find in photos and write up the quote before any work starts, so you can make the call from wherever you are.
What we fix
Tenant-reported leaks near campus often point to a bigger problem. We find the actual entry point, make the repair and give owners a photo record of the roof's condition along with the work.
On early-20th-century homes, chimney flashing is often old, patched or sealed over with tar. We replace the step and counter-flashing so the joint sheds water instead of relying on sealant.
Decades of small leaks leave sections of original decking soft or delaminated. We cut out the damaged boards, install new sheathing and reshingle the area so the repair stays flat and tight.

Local know-how
College Park is an incorporated city, so permits run through the City of College Park rather than Prince George's County. A small repair generally doesn't need one; a larger job that replaces decking or a large share of the roof can, and we check and pull the city permit when it's required. Some neighborhoods also have HOAs or covenant associations with approved shingle colors and profiles, and we match repairs to them.
Storms hit College Park the same as the rest of the county. The June 2012 derecho drove damaging winds across Prince George's County, and wind and hail have kept coming since. Damage from wind, hail and fallen limbs is often covered by homeowners insurance, and we photograph and document it so your adjuster has everything needed.
