    Understanding Roof Replacement in Atlanta

    Atlanta's historic and established homes need expert roof replacement that preserves architectural character while providing modern protection. From Grant Park bungalows to Buckhead estates, we handle it all.

    Your roof is your home's first line of defense — against weather, against wildlife, and against water intrusion that can cause tens of thousands of dollars in hidden damage. When a roof starts failing, the problems multiply fast: water gets into the decking, the decking rots, the insulation gets wet, mold starts growing, and before you know it, a $10,000 roof replacement has become a $25,000 structural restoration. We've seen it happen dozens of times across Metro Atlanta, and it almost always starts with homeowners putting off a replacement they know they need.

    We got into roofing because of wildlife. After years of removing raccoons, squirrels, and bats from attics, we realized that in many cases the roof itself was the root problem. A 20-year-old roof with curling shingles and deteriorating underlayment isn't just an eyesore — it's an open invitation for wildlife. Animals exploit every weak point, and an aging roof is full of them. Rather than patch and hope, we built an in-house roofing crew that handles everything from minor storm damage repairs to complete tear-offs and replacements. No subcontractors, no delays, no finger-pointing.

    Storm damage is the other major driver of roof replacements in Georgia. Hail, high winds, and fallen trees take a toll, and Metro Atlanta gets its share of severe weather. Storm-damaged roofs are often covered by homeowner's insurance — we work directly with adjusters, provide detailed documentation, and make the claims process as smooth as possible. Wildlife damage to roofing, unfortunately, is typically NOT covered by insurance, but we provide transparent pricing and work with homeowners to find manageable solutions.

    What To Do Right Now

    Do This

    • Get your roof inspected annually, especially if it's over 15 years old
    • After a major storm, check for missing shingles, dented flashing, or visible damage from the ground
    • Address small leaks immediately — water damage compounds exponentially over time
    • Ask about GAF or CertainTeed architectural shingles — they're a significant upgrade from basic 3-tab

    Don't Do This

    • Do NOT put off a roof replacement if your roofer or inspector recommends one — delay dramatically increases total cost
    • Do NOT layer new shingles over old ones (a 'nail-over') — it hides damage, voids warranties, and shortens the life of the new roof
    • Do NOT assume all roofers inspect for wildlife damage — most don't. Insist on an attic inspection during any roof evaluation
    • Do NOT ignore wildlife entry through the roof — animals cause ongoing damage that no shingle can fix

    Dangers & Health Risks

    Water Damage & Mold

    A failing roof allows water intrusion that damages insulation, drywall, framing, and creates hazardous mold conditions.

    Structural Compromise

    Prolonged roof deterioration weakens roof decking and framing, creating safety hazards.

    Energy Loss

    A damaged roof with poor ventilation drastically increases heating and cooling costs.

    How We Solve Your Roof Replacement Problem

    Every situation is different, but our proven process ensures a permanent solution — not a temporary fix.

    1

    Roof & Attic Inspection

    We inspect the roof exterior (shingles, flashing, valleys, vents, decking) and the attic interior (leaks, rot, wildlife damage, insulation condition) to provide a complete assessment — not just what's visible from outside.

    2

    Complete Tear-Off & Replacement

    We remove all old shingles, inspect and replace damaged decking, install ice & water shield, synthetic underlayment, new architectural shingles, ridge vents, flashing, and drip edge — all to manufacturer specs.

    3

    Wildlife Seal-Out & Final Inspection

    During every roof replacement, we seal all potential wildlife entry points — vent openings, soffit gaps, rake edges, and plumbing boots. Your new roof is wildlife-proof from day one.

    Common in Atlanta & Fulton County

    Metro Atlanta's weather puts roofs through the wringer — spring hailstorms, summer thunderstorms, and occasional ice events all take their toll. Most asphalt shingle roofs in Georgia last 18-25 years depending on quality and ventilation. We see the most roof replacement activity in Cobb, Paulding, Douglas, and Fulton counties. After storm events, we provide priority scheduling for emergency tarp-and-repair situations. We install GAF and CertainTeed architectural shingles — the two most trusted brands in the Southeast — and offer manufacturer warranty programs.

    The BeltLine corridor, Piedmont Park, extensive urban tree canopy, and creek systems like Peachtree Creek and Proctor Creek funnel wildlife throughout the metro core. Atlanta's older homes and massive tree canopy make squirrel and raccoon intrusions extremely common. Bat colonies thrive in historic neighborhood attics, and rodent issues are persistent in denser areas.

    Transparent Pricing, No Surprises

    Most residential roof replacement projects in Atlanta range from $5,000–$25,000+

    Projects can range from $5,000 to over $25,000 depending on roof size, pitch, material choice (standard vs. premium shingles), and any structural repairs needed. Storm damage is often covered by homeowner's insurance — we work directly with adjusters. Wildlife-related roof damage is typically NOT covered. Free inspection and detailed quote included.
