Normaltown, nestled just south of the University of Georgia’s Health Sciences Campus, is a storied neighborhood named for the former State Normal School, which trained teachers in the late 19th and early 20th centuries. Once home to the Navy Supply Corps School, the area now boasts a thriving mix of mid‑century bungalows, charming cottages, and newer infill homes along Prince Avenue and Oglethorpe Avenue, positioned between the Boulevard and Cobbham Historic districts. As the first part of Athens wired for electricity following the opening of the Mitchell Bridge hydroelectric plant in 1896, Normaltown carries both vintage character and pioneering spirit. Every week, community members gather at Bishop Park for the bustling Athens Farmers Market, enjoying live music, local vendors, and family-friendly amenities like playgrounds and walking trails. All things considered including its walkable commercial strip that includes Automatic Pizza, Normaltown brims with local flavor and independent creativity.

As a locally rooted roofing contractor, we service Normaltown homes—from vintage Cape Cods and ranches built in the 1940s and 1950s to newer Craftsman and farmhouse-style remodels. Our residential roofing includes architectural shingles and standing seam metal, frequently installed on shaded lots where mid-century lines meet modern codes. We understand Normaltown’s unique preservation approach, so we offer discreet, period-appropriate solutions for bungalow and cottage roofs. For local businesses—whether storefronts on Prince Avenue or offices near the medical center—we provide commercial roofing systems, roof coatings, and preventative maintenance.

Normaltown’s architectural history is alive in its homes, many built during the era of the State Normal School and later adapted over time. We've restored original rooflines, repaired sagging porches, and replaced aging cedar shakes and slate where historically appropriate. Whether on streets near the former Normal School site (now UGA’s Health Sciences Campus) or in the Triangle between Cobbham and Boulevard, our historical restoration work respects local building ordinances and the aesthetic ethos residents cherish. We’ve can rehabilitate roofs on homes shaded by large oaks, carefully removed damaged roofing layers, and rebuilt protected ridgelines using high-quality materials. Our team understands the importance of retaining the vintage charm—such as deep eaves, original substructures, and period-correct detailing—that define Normaltown’s identity.

Our remodeling services complement Normaltown’s creative spirit and architectural diversity. In mid-century homes, we can open up living rooms to incorporate modern layouts while preserving original footprint lines. Kitchen and bathroom remodels can combine historic charm with contemporary function. Porch expansions, detached garage builds, and sunroom additions—all designed to match bungalow profiles—are part of our portfolio. For newer infill properties, we can add energy-efficient replacement roofs, dormer reconfigurations, and modern transitional interiors.

Normaltown’s tree-lined streets are one of its defining features—and sometimes one of its risks. When severe weather strikes, fallen limbs or uprooted trees along streets such as Prince, Satula, or Chase can pose significant danger to roofs. Our 24/7 tree‑on‑roof service specializes in rapid, safe removal, whether the damage is on a porch, garage, or main roof. From branches crashing onto siding to trees uprooted in backyards near Bishop Park, our crews can mobilize quickly and with experience. We also assess risk preemptively during storm seasons, advising property owners on maintenance pruning to preserve tree health and reduce hazards.
