How DC Greenworks is Green
DC Greenworks is dedicated to decreasing waste and pollutants, increasing energy efficiency, and bringing nature back into DC! Their variety of green roofs all work to reduce the amount of storm water runoff and help prevent pollutants from reaching local waterways. Roofs installed by DC Greenworks reduce energy costs for each building, and have a longer life expectancy than non-green roofs.

Other than being an environmentally-friendly business, these guys also offer competitive prices and are an active part of the DC community! As a non-profit business, the goals of DC Greenworks don’t revolve around making as much money as possible. Instead, they make green roofs affordable and the profit from installations goes towards expanding the use of green roofs throughout the capital region through education and advocacy.
