Georgian-style homes
New Albany is known for orderly streets and Georgian-style homes: brick fronts, divided-pane windows, shutters, and big roofs. Many built since the 1990s may now need a new roof, windows, or doors.
The best updates keep what already works. Windows, trim, roof color, brick, and the front door should look like they go together. Where community rules apply, confirm them before choosing colors.
Big roofs collect a lot of rain. Valleys, gutters, and downspouts are worth checking together, especially where clay soil holds water near the foundation.
A written plan can separate urgent repairs from cosmetic ones and set a sensible order for the work.
