Wagner State Roofing

Our Story

For over a century, Wagner Roofing Company has been a steadfast presence in the Washington, DC region, dedicated to preserving architectural heritage and providing exceptional roofing solutions. Established in 1914 by German immigrant Otto Wagner, our company has evolved from its modest beginnings to become a leader in historic restoration and innovative construction services. Driven by our commitment to quality craftsmanship and a deep respect for historic structures, Wagner Roofing has earned a reputation for excellence that extends beyond the Mid-Atlantic region.

The History of Wagner Roofing

Our story is deeply intertwined with the history of Washington, DC. From its founding in the heart of the city, Wagner Roofing has witnessed the ebb and flow of time, adapting to the changing needs of its community while never losing sight of its core values.

Otto Wagner, a skilled ironworker, laid the foundation for a family legacy that would span generations. While his son, Jack Sr., stepped into the business following his father's passing, it was his unwavering dedication during World War II that truly cemented the company's resilience. After serving the nation, Jack Sr. returned to lead Wagner Roofing through another pivotal moment in its history-the aftermath of Hurricane Hazel in 1954. His resourcefulness and determination during the hurricane's aftermath solidified Wagner Roofing's reputation as a reliable partner in times of need.

Over the years, Wagner Roofing continued to expand, setting up shop in new locations and embracing technological advancements while never compromising on its commitment to traditional craftsmanship. This blend of innovation and heritage has allowed us to adapt to the challenges of modern roof construction while honoring the enduring beauty of historical buildings.

Passing the Torch

In 1991, Chuck Wagner and his wife Sheila took the helm of Wagner Roofing, continuing the family tradition of excellence. Their leadership steered the company into the new millennium, achieving national recognition and participating in landmark projects such as the restoration of the Pentagon Roof.

Today, Wagner Roofing stands as a testament to the enduring power of family tradition and a unwavering dedication to quality. As we navigate the changing landscape of the roofing industry, we remain steadfast in our commitment to preserving the architectural legacy of Washington, DC and beyond.
