FAQs
How can I tell whether my roof in Athens needs repair or a full replacement?
Look for warning signs such as missing or curling shingles, granule loss in gutters, water stains on ceilings, sagging roof decking, or moss and algae growth. In Athens’ humid subtropical climate, UV exposure and heavy summer storms speed up wear. Our certified craftsmen offer free inspections, moisture-meter testing, and drone imaging to determine whether a targeted repair will restore integrity or if age and damage justify a cost-effective replacement.
Are your roofing technicians certified, licensed, and insured?
Yes. Every crew member carries manufacturer-approved installation certifications (GAF, CertainTeed, Owens Corning), OSHA safety training, and Georgia state licensing. We maintain full liability and workers’ compensation coverage, so homeowners are protected from liability during the project. Documentation is provided before work begins for complete peace of mind.
What roofing materials and systems do you recommend for Athens’ climate?
Because Athens sees high humidity, intense sun, and occasional hail, we recommend algae-resistant architectural asphalt shingles, reflective metal panels, or impact-rated synthetic slate. All come with high wind ratings (130 mph or higher) and Class A fire resistance. Our craftsmen also install proper ridge ventilation and waterproof underlayments to manage heat and storm runoff, extending roof life in North Georgia conditions.
How fast can you handle emergency roof repairs after a storm?
We offer a 24/7 emergency hotline. A repair crew can usually be on-site within 2–4 hours in Athens and surrounding Clarke County. Temporary tarping stops active leaks immediately, and a detailed damage assessment and written estimate follow within 24 hours. Rapid response helps prevent mold, structural rot, and interior damage.
Will roof repair disrupt my daily routine or landscaping?
Our crews set up protective tarps over landscaping, use catch-all netting for debris, and perform magnetic sweeps for nails at the end of each day. Most repairs finish in one day. For larger jobs we schedule work during daylight hours only, keep noise to a minimum before 8 a.m., and provide a daily progress update so you can plan around any brief disruptions.
Do you provide warranties and assistance with insurance claims?
Absolutely. Craftsmanship is covered by a 10-year labor warranty, and we register all manufacturer material warranties (25-year to lifetime) on your behalf. If the damage is storm-related, our team documents evidence, meets adjusters on-site, and helps file paperwork to ensure you receive the maximum claim benefit—often reducing or eliminating out-of-pocket repair costs.
