Ormewood Park
Bungalow roofs and their details
Ormewood Park's houses are mostly craftsman bungalows and cottages from the 1920s and 1930s, with low-pitched gables, deep eaves, exposed rafter tails and wide front porches. Those details are part of why people buy here, and they are also where water does the most damage: rotted rafter tails, soft fascia, and porch roofs that hold water.
When we replace a bungalow roof we rebuild those details instead of covering them, and we keep the eave profile the house was built with.
Bungalow details
Renovated and expanded houses
Many Ormewood Park houses have had kitchens, baths and bedrooms added at the back or up into the attic. Each addition brings new roof planes and new joints with the old roof. We check those joints on every visit, because they are where newer leaks almost always start.
Trees and gutters
Under the trees
Mature oaks and pecans shade much of the neighborhood, which means gutters that fill fast, valleys that hold leaves and north slopes that grow algae. Gutter cleaning, guards and soft washing are a regular part of the work here.
What we see on Ormewood Park roofs
Ormewood Park sits in the same planning district as Grant Park and East Atlanta, which was 65 percent owner-occupied in the last full census count and climbing, and Ormewood Park alone had about 4,050 residents. Its owners tend to renovate rather than move, so the roofs we see are older bungalow roofs carrying newer additions, with the eaves and rafter tails taking the most water.
