Decatur Roof Replacement
This roof replacement in Decatur, GA restored full protection to the home using GAF Timberline HDZ shingles in Weathered Wood. The project improved curb appeal, increased weather resistance, and ensured the homeowner received a durable, manufacturer-backed roofing system built for local climate conditions.
Project Overview
The homeowner contacted Dr Roof after determining the existing roofing system had reached the end of its service life and was no longer providing dependable protection. An inspection confirmed the need for a full roof replacement to address aging materials, improve water management, and ensure the roof could withstand Decatur’s frequent rain and seasonal storms.
Due to the roof’s overall condition, a complete replacement was recommended rather than localized repairs. The scope of work included full tear-off of the existing roofing materials, inspection and repair of decking where necessary, and installation of a new roofing system in accordance with manufacturer specifications and local building codes.
Results
The newly installed roofing system delivered immediate improvements in protection, performance, and appearance. GAF Timberline HDZ shingles in Weathered Wood provide enhanced wind resistance, consistent coverage, and long-term durability.
Additional system upgrades included improved underlayment, advanced leak barrier installation at all valleys, penetrations, and chimney areas, updated flashing, and enhanced ventilation. With installation completed to manufacturer standards and backed by a GAF Golden Pledge Warranty, the homeowner now has a secure roof designed for long-term performance and resilience against future weather events.
