Mechanicsville Design Guidelines, adopted by the Knoxville City Council on September 20, 2011.

- Roofs
- The best roof materials to use when roofing are replicas of the original. If not feasible, metal, asphalt, or fiberglass shingles can be used, but their colors should be carefully selected to reflect the original roofing colors.
- 1. The shape of replacement roofs or roofs on new construction shall imitate the shapes of roofs on neighboring existing houses or other houses of the same architectural style. Roof pitch must duplicate the 12/12 pitch most often found in the neighborhood, the roof pitch typical of the style being referenced by a new building, or the pitch of neighboring buildings. Roof shapes must be complex, using a combination of hips with gables, dormers, or where appropriate to the style, turrets, or other features that emphasize the importance of Victorian-era or Craftsman styling.
- 3. Repair or replace roof details (chimneys, roof cresting, finials, attic vent windows, molding, bargeboards, and other unique roof features). Use some of these details in designing new buildings.
- 6. Gutters may be half-round, if desired; half-round gutters are appropriate for Mechanicsville's buildings, but are not required
