Charm City Restoration

Specialists in Baltimore's Unique Housing Stock

No city in America has a housing stock quite like Baltimore. Block after block of 19th-century brick rowhouses with nearly-flat rubber roofs, formstone façades covering original brick, Federal Hill's stepped-gable streetscapes, Roland Park's Gilded Age estates, and Hampden's worker cottages each demand a different restoration approach.

Our Baltimore crews specialize in the low-slope EPDM and TPO roofing systems that cap thousands of rowhouses across Bolton Hill, Federal Hill, Fells Point, and Canton. We also handle the pitched slate and asphalt roofs of Roland Park and Guilford, the formstone and brick repointing common throughout East and Southwest Baltimore, and the full exterior restoration of single-family homes in Baltimore County's Towson, Pikesville, and Catonsville.

We work with the Commission for Historical and Architectural Preservation (CHAP) on city historic districts and coordinate with Baltimore County's Department of Permits, Approvals and Inspections as required for the work.

Regional Damage Concerns

What Baltimore Homes Face

Ponding on Flat Roofs

Baltimore's iconic low-slope rowhouse roofs pond after every heavy rain, accelerating seam and flashing failure.

Freeze-Thaw on Masonry

Century-old brick and formstone façades suffer spalling, failed mortar joints, and ice-related parapet damage.

Summer Storm Wind

Derechos and tropical remnants peel shingles and lift rubber roof membranes off parapet-edge systems.

Water Intrusion

Shared party walls mean one rowhouse's failed roof floods its neighbors—fast response is critical.

"Three contractors had already failed to stop a leak at our Federal Hill rowhouse. Their team diagnosed a parapet flashing issue in an hour and fixed it the same day."

Rowhouse owner, Federal Hill, Baltimore MD

"We needed our 1905 Roland Park slate roof rebuilt and matched. They sourced Vermont slate that looked identical to the original. The project manager was a craftsman's craftsman."

Homeowner, Roland Park, Baltimore MD
