Roofing in Oxford Circle
Oxford Circle mixes 1920s rowhouses with post-war GI Bill homes, and their roofs are now on very different schedules.
Oxford Circle roof work is mostly flat roofs on rowhouses from the late 1920s and the 1950s, plus porch roofs and 1960s rows along Roosevelt Boulevard. Flat roof replacements, leak repairs and parapet work between attached houses lead the calls.

A Typical Job in Oxford Circle
On an Oxford Circle rowhouse, we check how many layers are on before quoting, because two layers mean a full tear-off. A replacement then runs one to two days, with new membrane, improved slope to the scupper and new parapet flashing tied into the neighbors' roofs.
Permits and Paperwork
Inside the city, roofing permits come from Licenses and Inspections. A new covering on an existing roof usually qualifies for the EZ re-roofing permit, and once a roof carries two layers the city requires a full tear-off to the deck. We file what the job needs before the old roof comes off.
