Marietta Insurance-Approved Roof System Upgrade
This roof replacement in Marietta, GA restored full protection to the home using GAF Timberline HDZ shingles in Weathered Wood. The project provided a complete system upgrade, resolved storm-related damage, and ensured the homeowner received a durable, insurance-approved roofing system built to withstand local climate conditions.
Project Overview
Following significant storm activity in Marietta, the homeowner began noticing roof damage that compromised the home’s weather protection. A full inspection confirmed storm-related shingle and system deterioration, making the home eligible for an insurance-paid roof replacement.
Because the existing roofing system no longer met the performance requirements for Georgia’s seasonal storms, heavy rain, and temperature fluctuations, a complete replacement was necessary to restore long-term structural integrity and ensure manufacturer-approved installation standards were met.
Results
The newly installed roofing system delivered immediate improvements in durability, protection, and overall appearance. GAF Timberline HDZ shingles in Weathered Wood provide advanced wind resistance, strong nailing-zone performance, and long-term resilience backed by manufacturer warranties.
Additional system components—including GAF StormGuard leak barrier, synthetic underlayment, drip edge, ridge vent installation, pipe boot replacement, and fully updated flashing—brought the home up to modern roofing standards and enhanced protection around high-risk areas such as valleys, walls, and chimneys.
With installation completed to GAF and code requirements, and fully approved through the homeowner’s insurance claim, the property now benefits from a secure, attractive roof built for future storms.
