FAQs
What certifications do your roofing crews hold?
All of our roofers are factory-trained and hold manufacturer certifications from GAF, Owens Corning, and CertainTeed. In addition, every crew member maintains OSHA 10-hour safety cards and participates in annual continuing-education courses on installation best practices. These credentials allow us to install extended manufacturer warranties that non-certified contractors cannot offer.
How does hiring a certified crew benefit me as a homeowner in Athens?
Certified crews must follow strict installation guidelines, use approved materials, and pass periodic audits. This results in longer-lasting roofs, fewer workmanship issues, and eligibility for enhanced warranty coverage. Because Athens experiences high summer heat and occasional severe storms, proper installation by certified professionals greatly reduces the risk of premature shingle failure or leak development.
Are your crews familiar with local building codes and the unique climate in Athens?
Yes. Our project managers stay up to date with Clarke County building regulations, permit requirements, and inspection processes. We also tailor underlayments, ventilation, and flashing details to handle Athens’ hot, humid summers and sudden downpours. This local expertise ensures code compliance and maximizes your roof’s lifespan.
What warranties and guarantees do you provide?
On top of the manufacturer’s material warranty (which can be up to 50 years for architectural shingles), we include a 10-year workmanship guarantee that covers labor, flashing, and accessory installation. Because we are factory certified, your material warranty is fully transferable once during the warranty period—adding resale value to your home.
How long does a typical roofing project take?
Most single-family asphalt shingle replacements in Athens are completed in one to two days, including full tear-off, deck inspection, and cleanup. Larger homes, metal roofing, or specialty materials may require three to five days. We provide a detailed timeline in advance and keep you updated if weather causes any changes.
How is pricing determined, and can you help with insurance claims?
We base our estimates on roof size, pitch, chosen materials, decking condition, and accessory upgrades such as ventilation or skylight replacements. After a free inspection, you receive a written, line-item quote with no hidden fees. If storm damage is involved, our certified inspectors will document the damage, meet with your adjuster, and handle the paperwork to maximize your insurance benefit while ensuring the roof is restored to code.
