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.
Working on large estates
Estate projects need planning around privacy, security and the rest of the property. Our crew checks in at the gate, keeps materials on the driveway apron away from the lawn, and uses a single access route. Your household's routine stays the priority, and we set quiet hours with you before the first delivery.
Custom copper and architectural metal
Many West Paces Ferry homes have copper cupolas, custom flashings, ogee gutters and other details that are made to measure. Fabrication takes time, so we confirm the drawings at the inspection and set a lead time before anything is ordered. The metal is hand-formed and sealed at each seam, and we document each piece for your records.
Frequently asked questions
Do you restore historic slate roofs?
Yes. We replace broken slate, rebuild flashing and valleys, and preserve as much original material as possible.
Can you fabricate custom copper work?
Yes — copper gutters, bay roofs, flashing and other custom pieces.
How do you protect the property during a project?
We plan staging, protect landscaping and hardscape, and clean up every day. A partner is on-site to oversee the job.
How far ahead should I schedule a custom metal job?
Custom fabrication often needs several weeks, depending on the detail. We confirm the lead time at the inspection and put it in writing.
