Why We’re Watkinsville’s Trusted Home Experts
Watkinsville’s moniker, “Artland of Georgia,” reflects its rich artisan culture—woven through local institutions like the Oconee Cultural Arts Foundation (Google Maps) and Chappelle Gallery in the historic Haygood House. As a local business connected here, our team is grateful to contribute our craftsmanship to this thriving community that is known for its personality with Ashford Manor lawn concerts and new boutique shops in the Town Center. We also understand its nuances including at the South Main Street Historic District as it is home to Greek Revival, Queen Anne, and Gothic Revival homes that each require a particular approach.
Watkinsville's Living Heritage & Our Restoration Projects
The story of Watkinsville began in 1791, anchored by early frontier life and the historic Eagle Tavern—built circa 1801—as a stagecoach stop for travelers between Augusta and Athens and we are glad to honor that legacy. We can preserve original architecture and meticulously reproduce work on Victorian trim or cedar-shake roofs as well as a variety of historic approaches to keep the style of this city's heritage.
๐จ Roofing Crafted for Local Conditions
The architecture in Watkinsville spans centuries—from antebellum-era estates to mid-century ranches and new infill near Town Center. We install specialty roofing systems tailored to each aesthetic and need: standing seam metal on modern builds, dimensional asphalt shingles on family homes, and authentic slate or cedar on historic landmarks. Local weather patterns—combined with the city’s protective oak canopies and proximity to the Oconee River watershed—present unique challenges. Storms that disrupt the Elder Mill Covered Bridge often drop limbs across town, requiring tarping, prompt inspections, and insurance coordination. We strive toward the most rapid, efficient response possible in that way.
๐ Remodeling: Contemporary Comfort, Historic Consistency
With a growing population—including families choosing Watkinsville for top-tier schools like Westminster Christian Academy and Oconee County High—there is a clear increas in demand for modern comforts in older homes. Our remodeling capabilities include expanding kitchens in century-old homes downtown, building sunrooms near the Oconee Cultural Arts Foundation, and designing accessible master suites in ranch cottages around Town Center. Our partnerships with local suppliers and builders uphold historic district standards while ensuring accessibility, durability, and seamless aesthetics.
๐ณ Emergency Tree Services That Save Properties & Lives

Following removal, we offer tree-health assessments and pruning plans to prevent future damage.
