What we do
Roof replacement in Atlanta.
A roof gets replaced when repairing it stops being the cheaper answer. The old covering comes off, what is underneath gets looked at properly, and the new roof goes on a deck somebody has actually seen.

What happens
Tear-off, deck, new roof.
A replacement starts by taking the old covering off down to the decking. That is the part that separates a replacement from a cover-up: until the shingles are gone, nobody knows what the roof has been hiding.
Then the deck gets walked and read. Sound boards stay. Soft ones, delaminated ones and anything a long leak has been sitting on come out and go back as new, because every layer above them is only as good as what it is nailed to.
After that the roof is rebuilt in order — underlayment, ice and water barrier in the valleys and at the eaves, new flashing where the roof meets a wall or a chimney, then the covering itself. Flashing is where roofs leak, and a replacement is the one moment it is cheap to get right.
When it is the answer
Four signs a repair is the wrong spend.
Leaks in more than one place
One leak is a repair. Several at once usually means the covering itself has stopped doing its job.
A roof near the end of its rating
Money spent repairing a roof inside its last few years is money spent twice.
Storm damage across the field
Hail and wind that have worked the whole roof rather than one slope.
You are selling
A roof at the end of its life is the first thing an inspection finds and the first thing a buyer prices against you.
What to know
Four things before you sign anything.
The deck is the unknown
Nobody can price rotten decking before the old roof is off. An honest estimate says how that is handled instead of pretending it cannot happen.
Ventilation is fixed now or not for years
Intake and exhaust are trivial to correct with the roof open and awkward once it is closed. Georgia heat makes it matter.
Going over the old roof is not the same job
A second layer over the first is quicker and hides everything a tear-off would have shown you. It is legal in places and it is not what this page is describing.
The estimate lands as a full scope
The estimate lands as a full scope with real numbers, not a ballpark over the phone.
You might ask us
Straight answers.
Should I repair or replace?
Repair, if the roof is sound and the problem is in one place. Replace, if the covering is near the end of its rating or the leaks have stopped being one leak. The walk is free either way, and nobody signs anything on day one.
Can you put a new roof over the old one?
Sometimes, and we would rather not. It is faster and it hides the decking, the flashing and everything else a tear-off puts in front of you.
What happens to my gutters and planting?
They get protected before anything comes off, and the site is cleaned as the job goes rather than at the end.
