Roofing Services Ardsley Park Savannah

The 1910s-1930s Stock Around Daffin Park

Ardsley Park is a tight grid of Tudor revivals, brick bungalows, and Craftsman cottages laid out between Daffin Park and Victory Drive between 1910 and the late 1930s. Roof pitches run steep — 8/12 to 12/12 is common — with original slate, clay tile, or three-tab asphalt over board sheathing. Most homes have at least one masonry chimney with original lead flashing that's now a century old. We work this stock weekly and know which streets near Washington Avenue still have intact original tile fields worth restoring.

• 1910s-1930s Tudor, bungalow, and Craftsman housing stock
• Steep 8/12-12/12 pitches with original board sheathing
• Century-old lead chimney flashing on most homes
• Original slate and clay tile fields where preserved

Conservation District — What Actually Gets Approved

Ardsley Park sits inside Savannah's Conservation District, not the Landmark Historic District downtown. The review is lighter — the rule is streetscape visibility, not a strict materials match. Architectural asphalt is approvable on most slopes; standing-seam metal is approvable on rear-facing slopes that aren't visible from the street. Original slate and clay tile do get more scrutiny, and we'll tell you up front when a partial repair is the smarter path than a full re-roof. We file the paperwork through the Savannah Building Safety office.

Live-Oak Canopy — Debris, Strikes, and What We Plan For

The mature live-oak canopy along Washington Avenue, Ardsley Station, and the Daffin Park frontage is the single biggest variable on every roof here. In a normal year you're managing acorn drop into half-round gutters, moss on the north faces, and limb shed during summer storms. In a named-storm year you're managing direct strikes — Helene dropped large limbs across this neighborhood in September 2024, and we ran emergency tarps for two straight weeks. Our standard scope on Ardsley Park homes assumes the roof will take debris, not avoid it.

• Oversized gutter guards spec'd for acorn and oak-leaf drop
• North-face moss treatment included on every full re-roof
• Ring-shank nails and reinforced ridge cap to hold under limb strike
• 24-hour tarp response when a limb comes through
