The West Paces Ferry Road corridor holds some of Atlanta's most significant homes, including the Georgia Governor's Mansion. Houses range from early-1900s estates to modern custom builds, and many have roofs built from slate, copper, clay tile or architectural metal.
These roofs are designed to last a long time, but only if the details are maintained: flashing, gutters, ridges and valleys. Our work here is often careful restoration rather than replacement.
What we see on West Paces Ferry roofs.
- Flashing at chimneys and dormers. Large estates have many chimneys and dormers. Failed flashing at these points causes most of the leaks we find.
- Built-in and copper gutters. Hidden or built-in gutters can leak into walls without obvious signs. We inspect and reline them.
- Mixed-material roofs. Many homes combine slate or tile main roofs with copper or low-slope sections. Each transition needs its own detail.
- Storm damage. Large trees and exposed ridgelines mean storm damage that's often hard to see from the ground.
Before you re-roof in West Paces Ferry.
When comparing proposals for an estate roof, compare scope line by line — flashing metal type, underlayment, fasteners and gutter work — not just the total price.
