Roofs in Providence

A city founded in 1636,
with the roofs to match

Roger Williams settled Providence in 1636 and it incorporated as a city in 1832. College Hill and the East Side contain the largest contiguous area of buildings on the National Register of Historic Places in the United States, including many pre-Revolutionary houses.

  • ✓ Genuinely old roofs on College Hill and around Benefit Street
  • ✓ Slate and wood shingle on the oldest stock, not asphalt
  • ✓ Federal and Victorian rooflines downtown with complex detailing
  • ✓ Triple-deckers and multi-family housing across the wider city
  • ✓ Italianate and mansard roofs through Federal Hill and the older neighbourhoods

What we see on Providence roofs

Where a roof
is part of a listed building

Providence has more protected historic fabric per square mile than anywhere else we work. That changes the job: materials, detailing and what you are allowed to change are all live questions before anyone talks about price.

  • ✓ Slate and wood shingle roofs that may be worth repairing rather than replacing
  • ✓ Original copper and lead flashing details on the oldest houses
  • ✓ Mansard and steep-pitch roofs needing formed rather than off-the-shelf flashing
  • ✓ Flat and low-slope roofs on the triple-deckers and mixed-use buildings
  • ✓ Party walls and shared parapets on the denser streets
  • ✓ Tight urban lots where staging and debris control need real planning

Permits in Providence

Rhode Island rules apply here,
not Massachusetts ones

Providence permits go through the City of Providence Department of Inspection and Standards. Rhode Island has its own building code and its own contractor registration system, separate from the Massachusetts licensing we hold. Sunset is registered to work in Rhode Island as well as Massachusetts, so Providence jobs are handled under the right credentials for the state they are in.

Providence roofing questions

What Providence homeowners ask us

Who issues the permit in Providence?
The City of Providence Department of Inspection and Standards handles building permits for the city.
Are you licensed in Rhode Island?
Yes. Rhode Island runs its own registration system separate from Massachusetts, and Sunset is registered in both. In Massachusetts we hold Construction Supervisor License CS-118483 and HIC registration #204689.
How far is Providence from your shop?
About thirty miles southwest of South Easton, roughly forty-five minutes depending on traffic.
My house is on College Hill. Can you work on it?
Tell us what the roof actually is. Much of that housing is pre-Revolutionary with slate or wood shingle, and some of it is genuinely specialist work. We would rather say so than learn on a listed building.
Do you do flat roofs on triple-deckers?
Yes. Flat and low-slope roofs need a membrane system and fail at seams, parapets and drains rather than in the open field.
Is the estimate free?
Yes. The inspection and the written estimate cost nothing and carry no obligation.
