Georgetown University Roof Repair

commercial roofing Preserves Georgetown University’s History

Just 10 minutes from the White House lies Georgetown University, the oldest Catholic and Jesuit institution of higher learning in the United States. With a history dating back to 1792, Georgetown has become a leading research university. Its diverse community remains dedicated to social justice, restless exploration, and respect for each person’s needs and skills.

In 1928, the Georgetown University Hospital acquired an additional wing that housed clinical facilities, patient rooms, nurses’ quarters, and various offices. After 19 years, the building, then named St. Joseph’s Hall, was used exclusively by the Nursing School. By 1956, St. Joseph’s Hall had not only transitioned into a mixed-use building but had also been renamed Loyola Hall. Loyola then housed student dorms, the International Student Exchange Program, ROTC, and the Center for Immigration Policy and Refugee Assistance.

With Loyola Hall nearing 100 years old, Kalkreuth Roofing and Sheet Metal was selected for its reputation as a trusted commercial roofing contractor in Washington, D.C., to provide a roofing solution for the hall’s roof repair. Our team installed a tapered Polyisocyanurate insulation cricket and demolished 3 rooftop curbs, which were then patched with Elevate’s 60-mil black non-reinforced EPDM roofing system.
