Norcross Roof Replacement
This roof replacement in Norcross, GA restored full protection to the home using GAF Timberline HDZ shingles in Weathered Wood. The project improved curb appeal, increased weather resistance, and provided the homeowner with a durable, manufacturer-backed roofing system designed to perform reliably in North Georgia’s climate conditions.
Project Overview
The homeowner contacted Dr Roof after concerns arose regarding the performance and condition of the existing roofing system. An inspection confirmed that the roof had reached the end of its service life and was no longer providing dependable protection against wind-driven rain and seasonal storms common in the Norcross area.
Due to the roof’s age, complex layout, and multiple penetrations—including skylights, chimneys, and HVAC components—a full roof replacement was recommended to restore long-term performance, improve ventilation, and ensure proper flashing and leak protection throughout the system.
Results
The new roofing system delivered immediate improvements in durability, protection, and overall performance. GAF Timberline HDZ shingles in Weathered Wood provide enhanced wind resistance, a reinforced nailing zone, and consistent coverage for long-term reliability.
The project also included upgraded underlayment, StormGuard ice and water shield at valleys and penetrations, new drip edge, replacement of select skylights, updated flashing, and installation of Cobra III ridge ventilation. Necessary decking repairs were completed to ensure a solid roofing foundation.
With installation completed to manufacturer standards and local building codes, the homeowner now has a secure roof backed by strong material and workmanship warranties, improved ventilation, and increased resilience for future storms.
