Point Breeze Roofs We Work On
- Original two-story rows. Most of the older homes have a flat roof draining to the back, shared party walls, and several layers from past patches and recoats. See our flat roof repair and replacement page.
- New construction. Many homes built during the boom got a basic flat roof that's now 8 to 15 years old. Seams open up, flashing pulls away at the parapets, and small leaks show up on the top floor.
- Roof decks and pilot houses. The roof under a deck wears where the posts and sleepers sit, and the pilot house door is a common leak point.
- Rear additions. Kitchen build-outs have their own low-slope roof, and the joint with the main wall leaks after heavy rain.
When a Taller House Goes Up Next Door
It's one of the most common calls we get from Point Breeze: a new three-story house went up next to a two-story row, and now the older house leaks. When the new wall rises above your roof, the flashing where your roof meets that wall has to be redone properly, and water now runs down the new wall onto your roof. If that joint wasn't tied in right during construction, water gets in along the party wall. We'll show you photos of exactly where it's coming in. If the problem is on the new building's side, the photos help you take it up with your neighbor or their builder. Here's more on who fixes a leak between two rowhomes.

What Our Customers Say
Point Breeze Roofing FAQs
A new house went up next door and now my roof leaks. Why?
When a taller house is built next to yours, the flashing where your roof meets the new wall has to be redone, and more water runs onto your roof. If that joint wasn't tied in properly, water gets in along the party wall. We'll find the exact spot and send you photos.
My new-construction house is under 15 years old. Why is the roof already leaking?
Many new homes got a basic flat roof, and the flashing at parapets, pilot houses and roof decks often fails first. Sometimes a repair buys several more years. If the seams are failing across the roof, replacement is the better money. We'll tell you which it is.
Can you fix a leak under my roof deck?
Yes. Leaks under decks usually come from the posts or sleepers wearing through the membrane, or from flashing at the pilot house door. The lasting fix is to lift the affected part of the deck, repair the roof underneath, and reset the deck. We'll tell you up front if that's needed.
How quickly can you get to Point Breeze?
