Your Local Roofing Contractor
Washington Crossing is an unincorporated village in Upper Makefield Township, best known as the place where George Washington’s army launched its crossing of the Delaware in December 1776. The village sits along River Road (Route 32) and the Delaware Canal, with the Washington Crossing Bridge connecting it to New Jersey. Homes here range from older village houses to larger properties set back from the river, and many deserve more than an off-the-shelf roofing approach.
DaVinci Roofing & Gutters installs and repairs natural and synthetic slate, cedar shake, standing seam and copper roofing, and premium architectural shingles, and we also handle cedar and fiber cement siding and half-round gutters.

What Our Customers Say
We’ve been in our home for over 20 years and working with David and his team from Davinci Roofing and gutters was the best experience we’ve had with any contractor. His pricing was fair, he was always on time and responded to texts and calls quickly answering our questions. The quality of the installation of our new roof was outstanding. On the day of our install I took off to be home. David was on site all day, and provided us with drone pictures of our home showing each step of the process. This gave us visibility to any issues found on the roof and we could see the progress of the job. David even replaced a small section of siding for us, at no charge, that was damaged. Our satisfaction was most important to him and we very much appreciated his desire to do the job right. At the end of the day his team cleaned up as if they had never been there. I would highly recommend Davinci Roofing.

Local Roofing Experts
The heart of Washington Crossing is the lower section of Washington Crossing Historic Park, home to historic structures including McConkey’s Ferry Inn, where Washington and his officers ate and planned before the crossing. Around the park, the village’s homes reflect its long history, with older houses near the river and canal and newer properties spreading up into the surrounding hills of Upper Makefield.
Older homes in and near the village often feature steep roofs, stone or frame walls, original chimneys, and traditional details like cornices and built-in gutters. Some still have slate or wood roofs; others were covered with asphalt at some point. When these roofs need work, material choice matters. Natural slate, synthetic slate, cedar shake, and copper accents can all suit the character of a river-village home, and we’ll talk through the look, weight, and long-term maintenance of each.
Life along the Delaware brings its own weather. Wind moves freely down the river valley during storms, lifting shingle edges and loosening siding. Morning fog and humidity keep north-facing slopes damp, encouraging moss and wearing on wood trim. Winter freeze-thaw cycles work at mortar joints and flashing, and ice can build up at the eaves of homes with shaded, low-pitched sections.
Tall trees are part of Washington Crossing’s appeal, shading homes along River Road and the canal. They also drop leaves, twigs, and branches onto roofs and into gutters. Well-sized gutters, strong hangers, and gutter guards help keep water moving off the roof and away from stone foundations, which is especially important on homes that sit low near the water.

How We Replace a Roof
We take the time to protect your property and install every detail correctly.
Step 1
We remove old roofing carefully, guarding stonework, gardens, and mature landscaping.
Step 2
Sheathing is repaired or reinforced to support heavier materials like slate when needed.
Step 3
High-performance underlayment and ice barrier protect eaves, valleys, and chimney areas.
Step 4
Slate, shake, metal, or shingles installed with hand-formed flashing and clean finishes.
Commercial Roofing
Washington Crossing is primarily residential, but the area around the village includes churches, small offices, restaurants, and other properties that need dependable roofing. Many combine traditional pitched roofs with low-slope sections over additions or service areas.
DaVinci Roofing & Gutters repairs, replaces, and maintains EPDM, TPO, and modified bitumen systems, and we can also handle slate, metal, and shingle roofs on the same building. We schedule work around your operations, keep the site tidy, and communicate clearly from the first inspection to the final walk-through.
Warning Signs
River weather and heavy tree cover can speed up wear on any roof. Call for an inspection if you notice:
After a strong storm moves down the Delaware, it’s worth having your roof checked even if you don’t see obvious damage.
Preventative Maintenance
Many roofing problems develop slowly and out of sight. A few slipped slates, a gap in chimney flashing, or moss holding moisture against shingles can let water in for months before a stain appears inside.
When we inspect a Washington Crossing home, we start with the roof covering itself and then look carefully at chimneys, valleys, dormers, skylights, and the edges most exposed to wind off the river. On slate and cedar roofs, we check for broken pieces, failed fasteners, and worn flashing.
We also look at the attic for signs of moisture and poor ventilation, and outside at gutters, downspouts, soffits, fascia, and siding. On homes near the canal or river, we pay special attention to water management at the foundation.
You’ll get a clear, honest report with photos. On many older roofs, targeted repairs can extend service life significantly, and when that’s the case, we’ll tell you. If replacement is the better investment, we’ll explain your material options and give you a detailed estimate.
Spring and fall are good times for a routine check, along with any time a serious storm or fallen limb hits the roof.

FAQ
It depends on the roofing material, the extent of the damage, and access. Slate and copper work is priced differently from shingle repairs. We offer free inspections and provide a written estimate before any work begins.
Often, yes. Good-quality slate can last a very long time when broken pieces and worn flashing are replaced promptly. We’ll assess the slate and the deck and tell you honestly whether repair or replacement makes more sense.
Homes along the river see more wind, fog, and humidity. That can loosen shingles, encourage moss, and wear on wood trim, so regular inspections and good gutters are especially helpful here.
Yes. We install copper half-round gutters, downspouts, and roofing accents such as bay and porch roofs, which suit many traditional homes in the area.
Yes. When wind or a falling tree damages your roof, we document it for your insurer, can join the adjuster’s visit, and complete the approved work.
