Summary

This project involved a comprehensive renovation of a dilapidated roof on a Capitol Hill mansion, transforming it into a functional and elegant outdoor living space. Despite the complexities of working on a historic building, we successfully overcame structural challenges and adverse weather conditions to create a stunning roof deck.

Preserving the home's historic character while creating a modern outdoor haven was paramount. We carefully designed the roof deck to complement the home’s architecture, addressing structural limitations and maximizing space. A new spiral staircase provides convenient access, enhancing the overall functionality of the space.

The roof deck exudes timeless elegance with a blend of traditional and contemporary elements. Custom wrought iron railings and concrete pavers create a sophisticated atmosphere. Careful attention to insulation and energy efficiency ensures year-round comfort. The finished space is a testament to our commitment to quality craftsmanship and attention to detail.

FAQS

Why should I choose a design-build firm for my home renovation?

With a design-build firm, one team manages your project from the first design meeting through construction. That means your architect, interior designer and builder are working together from day one instead of operating separately. Landis has been using this approach in the Washington, DC area for more than 35 years, helping homeowners simplify complex renovations with fewer handoffs, better communication and a more predictable process. Learn more about our design-build process.

Why do homeowners choose Landis?

Landis has been designing and building homes in the Washington, DC area for more than 35 years. Since the late 1980s, the company has completed hundreds of home renovations, additions and custom homes throughout the region. Landis has been featured in Architectural Digest, Washingtonian, Modern Luxury DC, Bethesda Magazine, Home & Design and The Washington Post and maintains a 4.9 out of 5 Google rating based on client reviews. Read what our clients have to say.

What kinds of projects can you help with?

Landis specializes in whole-home renovations, kitchen remodels, bathroom remodels, home additions, custom homes, historic renovations, interior design, exterior improvements, outdoor living spaces, aging-in-place renovations and condo renovations.

How much will my renovation cost?

Every project is different. Cost depends on the size of the renovation, the level of finishes, the complexity of the design and the construction involved. Landis provides budget guidance early in the process and a free consultation is the best way to discuss your project, priorities and expected investment. Learn more about pricing and financing.

How do you handle unexpected costs during construction?

Because Landis designs and builds under one roof, pricing is developed alongside the design, reducing the gap between what a project is designed to be and what it costs to build. In older homes, it's not uncommon to uncover outdated wiring, aging plumbing or structural issues once construction begins. When that happens, the team explains what was found, how it affects the project and any additional costs before work moves forward. No surprise invoices. No unapproved changes. See how our process works.

Can you renovate my historic home in the Washington, DC area?

Yes. Landis has extensive experience renovating historic homes throughout Washington, DC and nearby communities. The team understands the design guidelines, permitting requirements, zoning regulations and preservation reviews that often come with historic properties. View our historic renovation work.

Will I need historic district approval for my renovation?

Many historic homes require approval before exterior changes or additions can begin. Depending on the property, homeowners may need reviews from preservation boards, along with zoning and permitting approvals. Landis has years of experience navigating these requirements and guiding homeowners through the process. Learn more about our historic renovation experience.

Do you build custom homes?

Yes. Landis designs and builds custom homes throughout the Washington, DC area, managing everything from architectural design and interior selections to permitting and construction. View our custom home work.

How do I get started?
