[quote=Anonymous][quote=Anonymous][quote=Anonymous]The vast majority of DC rowhouses (Petworth, Capitol Hill, Shaw, Columbia Heights) have flat roofs, and we all manage just fine. Get a roof inspection.[/quote] Our rowhouse on the Hill has a 100 year metal roof with about 80 years left. It is super easy to maintain--just paint it withe some white roof pair every 3-5 years. And the paint goes on in a few hours with a roller and doesn't require a ladder because there is a hatch and we can just stand on the roof. We love it.[/quote] OP here. Thanks for the feedback. Part of my issue is there is no roof access. It doesn't have an attic or a hatch. The roof is made of rubber membrane and is technically low sloped, not completely flat. Don't know if that makes a difference. I know many things can go "wrong" with a house. I'm just wondering if a flat roof is worth avoiding if I liked the home. Thanks again everyone![/quote]
