While you are reading this, a Boyd is on a roof somewhere in DC.
Boyd Construction has spanned ninety-four years and four generations of DC contractors. Founded in 1932 by Christopher Boyd, passed to his son John, and now owned and run by John Boyd II and his three sons: John III, Isaac, and Peter.
We are a family business. My father, myself, and my sons have all grown up working on these old homes here in D.C. Nobody knows them better than we do. We are the company homeowners call when the other guys cannot get the job done. John Boyd IIHave a Boyd Call Me Back

From beginning to end Mr. Boyd was very professional and informative. I will definitely use this company again.
They are awesome! I am recommending them to all my friends and family. Thank you John!
They fixed my carport. They also put on a new roof on my back and resealed my flat roof. The owner and his son were extremely professional. They cleaned up after the job and explained each step.
I have used their service and the job was so professional. I have worked with John and he is so on-point and explains the job in detail.
John Boyd personally negotiated with the condo and did an excellent and prompt job. I had tried getting this work done for years.

Yes. Slate, turret and specialty roofs are some of the most common jobs on DC's older homes, and four generations of Boyds have worked them. Pitched, flat and commercial roofs as well.
Ponding water usually points to drainage, seams or flashing rather than the surface alone. We look at where the water sits and how long, then recommend the focused fix instead of guessing from a photo. Use the DC Roof Check above to get pointed in the right direction.
