Oakhurst, in the southern part of the City of Decatur, is a mix of early-1900s bungalows, mid-century ranches and modern infill homes. Many of the older houses have been expanded with rear additions or second stories.
Lots are small and close together, so we use smaller, more agile crews, plan dumpster placement carefully, and protect neighboring properties during tear-off.
What we see on Oakhurst roofs.
- Addition flashing. Where additions meet original roofs is the most common leak source here.
- Low-slope sections. Back additions and porches often have roofs too flat for shingles. We replace them with membrane systems built for low slope.
- Tree damage. Oakhurst lives up to its name — oak limbs regularly damage roofs during storms.
- Ventilation. Renovated attics often lost proper ventilation, which shortens shingle life.
Before you re-roof in Oakhurst.
On a tight Oakhurst lot, ask how the roofer will stage the job: where the dumpster goes, how they'll protect your neighbor's yard and how long the street will be affected.
