Roofing in Columbia.
Columbia's villages went up in stages from the late 1960s onward. That means a huge range of roof ages, a lot of townhomes, and exterior rules that apply to new roofs.

What neighbors say.
Real reviews from homeowners, straight from our Google listing.
My ceiling had water spots so I reached out to Next Gen, and they found the problem with a leakage in the roof connecting to the house. Anthony came and fixed it within 2 hours and was significantly better in price + quality than any of the other people we had looking at it. They will be my go-to for a while, as well as for my friends and family, and Anthony is especially kind!
Suleman Abbasi Super reliable team! I would highly recommend for any of your future projects.
Keylin Perez Great to work with!

Villages built in stages
Columbia was planned as a set of villages built over several decades, starting in the late 1960s. A house in one of the first villages can be on its third roof, while a home in one of the later ones may be facing its first replacement. Knowing roughly when your neighborhood went up tells us a lot about what we are likely to find.

Contemporary designs
Many older Columbia homes have contemporary designs with steep single slopes, low-slope sections, clerestory windows and skylights. Those shapes look great and create more places for water to get in: long joints where a roof meets a wall, flat sections that hold water, and skylights with aging flashing. They need careful flashing and the right material for each slope.
Exterior approvals
Columbia has covenants, and changes to the outside of a home, like a new roof in a different color or material, can need approval through your village before the work is done. Check with your village first. We can put the shingle details in your quote so you have what the application asks for.

Common questions.
Do I need approval for a new roof in Columbia?
Often, if the color or material is changing. Check with your village before the work, and we will give you the shingle details for the application.
Can you repair the flat part of my contemporary home's roof?
Yes. We repair and replace low-slope and flat sections as well as the shingled parts.
Do you fix leaking skylights in Columbia homes?
Yes. Many older Columbia homes have skylights, and most skylight leaks come from worn flashing that can be replaced.
