Roofing in Ardsley Park
- X Ardsley Park homes were built 1910s-1940s -- original wood decking requires careful tear-off assessment
- X Many homes have low-slope sections over porches -- requires different material specs
- X Tree canopy is extreme -- algae-resistant shingles are essential
- X HOA and deed restriction review recommended before selecting materials
Ardsley Park is one of Savannah's most historic neighborhoods and one of the most challenging roofing environments in the city. Homes built in the 1910s through 1940s have construction realities that newer neighborhoods do not share, and the extreme tree cover creates biological growth conditions that standard shingle specs do not adequately address.
What We Find During Ardsley Park Inspections
- Original board decking: Many homes still have 1x6 or 1x8 board sheathing -- gaps between boards require felt underlayment selection and nailing pattern adjustment
- Low-slope porch roofs: The signature Ardsley Park front porch almost always has a low-slope section that standard architectural shingles cannot properly cover -- requires modified bitumen or TPO
- Algae loading: North-facing slopes under heavy tree canopy develop algae within 3-5 years -- we specify Scotchgard or StainGuard Plus by default
