Providence Roofing -- Triple-Deckers, Flat Roofs, and New England Storm History

Providence is one of New England's oldest cities and its housing stock reflects more than three centuries of urban construction history. The dominant residential type in city neighborhoods like South Providence, Olneyville, Elmwood, West End, and Valley is the triple-decker or three-decker -- a three-story wood-frame structure with one apartment per floor, built in massive quantities between 1880 and 1930 to house the workforce of Rhode Island's textile and jewelry industries. These structures almost universally feature flat or very-low-slope roofs requiring rubber membrane (EPDM) or modified bitumen systems. The membrane systems on surviving triple-deckers are frequently at or beyond the end of their service lives, held together by successive layers of patch material rather than proper replacement membrane.

Beyond flat-roof stock, Greater Providence includes large inventories of Victorian Italianate and Queen Anne structures in College Hill and Elmwood, mid-century capes and ranches throughout Cranston and Johnston, and waterfront structures in East Providence along the Seekonk River. Each building type has distinct roofing system requirements. The entire metro area sits in the apex of the New England coastal bend, receiving concentrated Nor'easter snowfall, ice, and wind impacts that exceed those experienced by interior New England cities. Signature Exteriors serves all of Providence, plus Cranston, Johnston, North Providence, Pawtucket, East Providence, and the entire Providence County area.
