Architectural Review Submission Inside the Preserve

Hampton Island Preserve Architectural Review approval is required before any roof material or color change. Period-correct slate, copper, and standing-seam metal are preferred — synthetic substitutes get extra scrutiny on a 5,800-acre preserve where conservation standards drive the aesthetic. We submit physical material samples, manufacturer color codes, profile drawings, and a written scope formatted to ARC requirements. Incomplete packages add 2-3 weeks to the timeline. Most submissions get first-pass approval inside 10-15 business days.

• Physical slate and copper samples pulled before submission
• Manufacturer color codes and finish specifications included
• Written scope formatted to preserve ARC requirements
• First-pass approval target: 10-15 business days

Slate, Copper, and Standing-Seam on Custom-Home-Only Lots

Hampton Island Preserve is a custom-homes-only community with marine-grade specifications baked into the architectural standard. The rooflines reflect that — hipped sections, dormers, cupolas, and copper detailing on river-facing elevations. We install natural slate, standing-seam copper, and standing-seam painted steel systems matched to each home’s original architectural intent. Copper flashing, ridge caps, and gutters are fabricated to match existing patina where the home is being repaired rather than fully re-roofed.

North Newport River Salt and 140 mph Wind Zone

Hampton Island Preserve sits inside Liberty County’s 140 mph ultimate design wind zone, with the North Newport River pushing salt-laden air across the entire preserve. The salt exposure tier here is extreme — standard galvanized fasteners corrode visibly inside 5-7 years. We spec stainless steel ring-shank nails throughout, stainless or copper flashing, aluminum drip edge, and coastal-rated sealants on every Hampton Island install. The 6-nail fastening pattern is the floor specification, not an upgrade option.

• Stainless steel ring-shank nails on slate and shingle work
• Aluminum or stainless drip edge — never galvanized
• Marine-grade sealants at every penetration
• 6-nail fastening pattern as the floor specification

Logistics: 32 Miles from Savannah, Gated Access

Hampton Island Preserve sits roughly 32 miles south of our Savannah HQ, off the North Newport River corridor in Liberty County. The drive runs past Midway and Sunbury and lands at a manned gate — no walk-up traffic, no improvised material drops. We pre-stage slate pallets and copper coils to align with crew arrivals so the gate is not handling unscheduled trucks, and we coordinate dumpster placement with the preserve management office in advance. Crews arrive uniformed, vehicles are pre-registered, and the site is broom-clean every evening.

Why Choose Us in Hampton Island Preserve

Hampton Island Preserve Roofing Challenges

“They pulled the slate samples and color-matched ridge copper before the Architectural Review packet went in. Approval came back the following Tuesday and the crew was on the roof two weeks later.”

“Standing-seam copper on a 5,200 sq ft house with three dormers and a long ridge run over the river side. The seam lines are dead straight and the ridge cap is one continuous piece. Clean job.”

“They worked the gate logistics with the preserve security desk before the first truck rolled. The site was spotless every evening and they pulled material in batches so we never had a staging mess on the drive.”
