FAQs
Do you provide free written estimates for roof replacement in Decatur?
Yes. We offer no-obligation, fully itemized written estimates at no cost to homeowners within Decatur and the surrounding communities. One of our certified roofing specialists will inspect your roof, discuss your goals and budget, and then deliver a detailed proposal outlining scope, materials, labor, timeline, and warranty information.
What information is included in your written roof replacement estimate?
Our estimate is more than just a price. It lists: • Square footage and pitch of the roof we measured • Type, brand, and manufacturer specifications of shingles or metal panels we recommend • Underlayment, flashing, ventilation, and drip-edge details • Labor costs broken down by tear-off, installation, and cleanup • Projected start and completion dates • Permitting fees, dumpster and disposal charges, and sales tax (if applicable) • Workmanship and manufacturer warranty terms • Payment schedule and accepted payment methods. This transparency lets you compare bids accurately and eliminates surprises once the job begins.
How long does it take to receive the written estimate after the inspection?
For most homes we deliver the estimate within 24 hours of completing the on-site inspection. Complex roofs or specialty material requests may take up to 48 hours so we can verify supplier pricing and lead times. We email a PDF copy and, if you prefer, hand-deliver a printed version so you can review it at your convenience.
Are you familiar with Decatur’s building codes and permit requirements?
Absolutely. We pull all required permits through the City of Decatur Inspection Services office and ensure your new roof meets Georgia Residential Code, local wind-uplift requirements, and any historic district guidelines that may apply. Passing the final municipal inspection is part of our contractual obligation, so you don’t have to worry about paperwork or compliance issues.
How do you determine the cost of a roof replacement in Decatur?
Pricing is calculated using a combination of roof size (measured in squares), material selection, roof pitch, number of existing layers to be removed, accessibility, and required decking or structural repairs. We use current supplier pricing and regional labor rates. Because we buy materials in bulk from distributors in Atlanta, we can often pass volume discounts on to Decatur homeowners.
Will my homeowners insurance cover roof replacement, and can you help with the claim?
If your roof was damaged by a covered peril such as hail, wind, or falling debris, your insurance policy may pay for some or all of the replacement cost. We provide photo documentation, a Haag-certified damage report, and a line-item Xactimate estimate that matches insurer formats. We can meet with the adjuster on site and help you navigate depreciation, deductible, and supplemental payment questions to maximize your claim.
