Meticulous Installation
Meticulous Installation | Roofing Done Right | Roofing | Athens
Athens sees blazing summers, surprise hail, and the kind of humidity that loves to creep into every crack of a poorly sealed roof. That’s why HEP approaches each project with laser-sharp precision—hand-selecting premium materials, measuring twice (or three times), and installing with an artist’s eye for symmetry. From the first shingle to the final ridge cap, our crews treat your home as if it were the Parthenon itself, protecting what matters most while adding unmistakable curb appeal.
The result is roofing done right: watertight seams, flawless flashing, and ventilation calibrated to keep energy bills low even when the mercury soars. Backed by transparent communication and warranties that actually mean something, HEP’s meticulous installation turns a vulnerable rooftop into an enduring shield, ready to defy the Athens elements for decades to come.
FAQs
What types of roofing materials do you install in Athens?
We offer a full range of systems suited to the Athens climate and architectural styles, including architectural asphalt shingles, standing-seam and exposed-fastener metal panels, clay and concrete tile, natural slate, cedar shakes, and single-ply membranes (TPO or PVC) for low-slope commercial roofs. Our consultants review your goals for appearance, longevity, energy efficiency, and budget before recommending the best material.
How long does a typical roof installation take?
For an average 2,000–3,000-sq-ft Athens home with asphalt shingles, installation usually takes 1–3 days once materials are on site. Complex rooflines, larger homes, or specialty products such as tile or slate may extend the schedule to 4–7 days. We build extra time into the timeline for afternoon thunderstorms that are common in the region, and we keep you updated daily on progress.
Are your roofing projects compliant with Athens and Clarke County building codes?
Absolutely. We are fully licensed, carry comprehensive liability and workers’ compensation insurance, and pull the necessary permits with Athens-Clarke County Building Inspections. Our crews follow the 2021 International Residential Code, Georgia energy-code amendments, and local wind-uplift requirements. A final inspection by the county and our own quality-assurance manager is included in every project.
Do you provide warranties or guarantees on your roofing installations?
Yes. Manufacturer warranties range from 20-year limited warranties on entry-level shingles to lifetime coverage on premium shingles, metal, tile, and slate. In addition, we include a 10-year transferable workmanship warranty that covers leaks caused by installation defects, giving you long-term peace of mind.
What steps do you take to ensure a meticulous installation?
Our "Roofing Done Right" process starts with a detailed pre-installation inspection and moisture scan of the decking. We protect landscaping and set up magnetic nail catchers before tear-off. Every roof receives high-temp synthetic underlayment, ice-and-water shield in valleys, new drip edge, custom-bent flashing, and properly sized intake and exhaust ventilation. A crew leader performs a 25-point checklist at the end of each day, and a final drone inspection verifies shingle alignment, flashing integrity, and fastener placement.
How much does a new roof cost in Athens, and what factors affect the price?
As a ballpark, an architectural-shingle roof runs about $4.50–$6.50 per square foot installed. Metal roofing averages $8–$12 per square foot, while tile or slate can range from $12–$20. The final price depends on the material you choose, roof pitch, number of layers to remove, decking repairs, chimney or skylight flashing, and disposal fees. We offer complimentary on-site assessments, detailed written estimates, and multiple financing options to fit your budget.
