FAQs
How do I know whether my Calhoun home needs a full roof replacement or just repairs?
Warning signs include shingles that are curling, cracked, or missing, widespread granule loss, frequent leaks, sagging roof decking, and roofs older than 20–25 years. Because Calhoun experiences heavy summer storms and occasional hail, localized damage can quickly spread. A professional inspection will measure moisture levels in the decking, check attic ventilation, and review previous repair history to determine whether replacing the entire system is more cost-effective than repeated patching.
How long does a typical roof replacement take in Calhoun?
For an average 2,000 sq ft single-family home, most replacements are completed in one to two days. Tear-off and underlayment installation usually take one day; shingle or metal panel installation and cleanup take another. Factors that can extend the timeline include complex roof designs, unexpected decking repairs, material special orders, or weather delays common to Northwest Georgia’s summer thunderstorms.
Which roofing materials perform best in Calhoun’s climate?
Architectural asphalt shingles remain the most popular because they balance cost with durability and carry wind ratings up to 130 mph—important for storm season. Metal roofing (standing seam or ribbed panels) reflects heat, resists algae, and can last 40–60 years with minimal maintenance. If you prefer high-end aesthetics, synthetic slate or cedar shakes treated for humidity resistance also work well but cost more upfront. All materials we install meet Georgia Residential Code and come with manufacturer warranties tailored to our humid, storm-prone environment.
How much does roof replacement cost in the Calhoun area?
Costs vary by material, roof complexity, and current decking condition. In 2024, homeowners can expect: • Architectural shingles: $4.25 – $6.50 per square foot installed. • Metal (standing seam): $7.50 – $11.00 per square foot. • Synthetic slate or premium designer shingles: $9.00 – $12.50 per square foot. These estimates include tear-off, disposal, underlayment, flashing, and cleanup. After a free on-site inspection, we provide a fixed written quote with no hidden fees.
Will my homeowner’s insurance cover a roof replacement?
Insurance generally pays for replacement only when damage is sudden and accidental—such as hail, wind, falling limbs, or fire. Wear and tear or age-related deterioration are excluded. After a storm, we document damage with photos, provide a detailed inspection report, and can meet with your adjuster to ensure all code-required items (ice & water shield, drip edge, ventilation) are properly included in the claim. You are responsible for your deductible; we do not inflate invoices to cover it, in accordance with Georgia law.
What steps do you take to protect my property during the replacement process?
Before work begins, we lay down tarps around the home, shield landscaping with plywood or specialized netting, and set up magnetic nail catchers. Gutters are protected to prevent dents, and our crew performs a multi-point debris sweep at the end of each day. We also schedule dumpster delivery and pickup to minimize driveway blockage. Final cleanup includes running industrial magnets across lawns and flowerbeds so your property looks as good—or better—than when we arrived.
