Grant Park
Victorians, turrets and porches
Grant Park's houses date from the late 1800s into the 1920s: Victorians and Queen Annes with turrets, steep hips and wraparound porches, and craftsman bungalows on the side streets. Many have porch roofs in standing seam or flat-seam metal, cone-shaped turret roofs, and decorative ridges that need a roofer who will slow down.
We repair old metal where it is sound, replace porch and turret roofs to match their original profile, and rebuild flashing at chimneys, dormers and the many places where porches meet walls.

The historic district review
Exterior alterations in Atlanta's locally designated historic districts, roof replacement included, are reviewed before a building permit can be issued, and Grant Park is one of those districts. Repairs in kind usually move quickly; a change of material or color gets a closer look.
We check the address, prepare the material details and photos, and build the review into the schedule so you know when work can start.

Restorations and renovations
Grant Park has seen a lot of careful renovation, and roofs often come up mid-project: an attic conversion, a rear addition or a porch rebuild. We work alongside the general contractor or on our own, and we flash new work into old properly.
What we see on Grant Park roofs
Grant Park's planning district, which also covers East Atlanta and Ormewood Park, was 65 percent owner-occupied in the last full census count, up from 57 percent a decade earlier, and Grant Park itself is a locally designated historic district where roof replacements are reviewed before the permit. Repairs in kind keep the review short, and that is how we approach most Grant Park roofs.
