Roofing in Boylan Heights, Raleigh

Careful roof repair and replacement for Boylan Heights’ early 1900s homes, with the approval details that matter.

About Boylan Heights

Boylan Heights, just west of downtown Raleigh, is one of the city’s earliest planned suburbs. Lots went on sale in 1907 and homes were built through the late 1920s along curving, hilly streets with rear alleys. Craftsman bungalows are the most common house type, with larger Queen Anne/Colonial Revival, Dutch Colonial and Foursquare homes on Boylan Avenue. It is both a National Register district and a Raleigh local Historic Overlay District.

What Boylan Heights roofs need

• Bungalow roofs with wide eaves, dormers, porches and chimneys, where flashing and valleys are the usual leak points.
• Original board decking and older chimneys that need careful flashing work.
• Mature street trees that drop limbs and fill gutters.

Historic district approval

Because Boylan Heights is a local Historic Overlay District, exterior changes such as new roof materials generally need a Certificate of Appropriateness from the City of Raleigh before a permit. Minor work may be reviewed by staff; larger changes go to the review committee. Like-for-like repairs are often treated differently from material changes. We supply product details and photos for your application.
