Roofing in Historic Oakwood, Raleigh

Careful roof repair and replacement for Oakwood’s historic homes, with the approval details that matter.

About Oakwood

Oakwood, just northeast of downtown Raleigh, is one of the city’s oldest neighborhoods, with many homes built in the late 1800s and early 1900s in Victorian, Queen Anne and Craftsman styles. Much of it lies within a Raleigh local historic district.

What Oakwood roofs need

• Steep, complex rooflines with turrets, dormers and porches, where flashing and valleys are the usual leak points.
• Original board decking and older chimneys that need careful flashing work.
• Large old trees that drop limbs in storms and fill gutters and valleys.

Historic district approval

Exterior changes in a Raleigh local historic district, including some roof material or color changes, can require a Certificate of Appropriateness from the Raleigh Historic Development Commission. Like-for-like repairs are often treated differently from replacements with new materials. Check with the city before changing materials; we supply product details and photos for your application.
