Dorchester is triple-decker country. A City of Boston study found triple-deckers made up about 35% of Dorchester’s housing stock — the largest number in the city — and those buildings typically carry flat roofs, which is a completely different job from a suburban shingle roof.
Tell us your street and what you are seeing — and whether the roof is flat, pitched or both. We come out and price it in writing.

Roofs in Dorchester
Boston built an estimated 15,000 three-deckers between 1880 and 1930, with Dorchester accounting for roughly a third of them. They are defined by wooden walls and flat roofs — which means membrane work, not asphalt shingles.
What we see on Dorchester roofs
A pitched roof leaks where water runs. A flat roof leaks where water sits. On a three-decker that difference matters, because ponding water finds the weakest seam and then travels through three floors of housing before anyone sees a stain.
Permits in Dorchester
Dorchester was its own town from 1630 until it was annexed to Boston in 1870, so there is no Dorchester building department. Permits run through the City of Boston Inspectional Services Department, which manages the building permit process for the whole city. We establish which permit type your job needs and pull it. We hold Construction Supervisor License CS-118483 and HIC registration #204689.
