FAQs
Why should I replace my shingles and gutters at the same time?
Roofing and gutter systems work together to shed water away from your home. Replacing them simultaneously ensures a watertight transition at the eaves, eliminates the risk of damaging brand-new shingles during a later gutter swap, and often reduces labor costs because our crew can use the same access equipment for both jobs. In Athens’ humid subtropical climate, a fully integrated system also helps prevent fascia rot, attic moisture, and foundation erosion caused by overflowing or poorly aligned gutters.
What premium shingle options do you offer for homes in Athens, GA?
We install top-tier architectural asphalt shingles from manufacturers such as GAF Timberline HDZ and Owens Corning Duration, both of which carry up to 130 mph wind ratings—important for the pop-up thunderstorms common in Clarke County. We also offer designer shingles that mimic slate or cedar, as well as impact-resistant Class 4 products for added hail protection. All premium shingles come with algae-resistant copper granules, limited lifetime manufacturer warranties, and our own 10-year workmanship guarantee.
How long does a combined roof and gutter replacement take?
Most Athens residences (2,000–3,500 sq ft) are completed in two to three working days: one to two days for tear-off and shingle installation, plus a half to full day for seamless aluminum gutter fabrication and mounting. Larger homes or those needing decking repairs can add an extra day. We always perform a final magnetic nail sweep, gutter water-flow test, and joint inspection before signing off.
What gutter sizes and materials do you recommend?
For the heavy rain events Athens sees—particularly during late-summer downpours—we recommend oversized 6-inch K-style aluminum gutters with 3 × 4-inch downspouts. These carry almost 40 % more water than standard 5-inch profiles, reducing overflow risk. Homeowners seeking extra durability can opt for 0.032-gauge aluminum or copper. We coat aluminum gutters with baked-on enamel in 20+ colors to match or accent your new shingle roof.
How much does a premium shingle roof with new gutters cost in Athens?
Pricing depends on roof size, pitch, tear-off layers, and material choices, but most projects fall between $6.00 and $8.50 per square foot for architectural shingles, plus $8–$12 per linear foot of seamless aluminum gutters installed. A typical 2,200 sq ft roof with 200 ft of 6-inch gutters ranges from $15,000 to $19,000. We provide a detailed, line-item quote after a free on-site inspection and offer financing options with 0 % interest for 12 months.
What maintenance is required after installation?
Once your premium roof and gutters are in place, upkeep is minimal: 1) Schedule an annual roof inspection to check for lifted shingles, flashing issues, or sealant wear; 2) Have your gutters cleaned or install our stainless-steel micro-mesh guards to keep Athens ’ oak and pine debris out; 3) Trim overhanging limbs at least 10 ft from the roofline; 4) After severe storms, visually inspect for loose shingles or gutter dents and call us for any necessary repairs—covered under our workmanship warranty for 10 years.
