Kennesaw Hip Line Restoration
This roof repair in Kennesaw, GA restored proper protection to the home by replacing damaged hip shingles using CertainTeed Hip and Ridge cap shingles in Weathered Wood. The project addressed storm-related shingle damage at the front left hip of the roof, helping prevent future water intrusion and maintaining the roof’s overall integrity.
Project Overview
After recent weather activity, the homeowner noticed damage along the hip section on the front left slope of the roof. An inspection confirmed that approximately 6 to 10 feet of hip shingles had been compromised and required replacement. Because the existing roofing system utilized CertainTeed hip and ridge caps, it was critical that matching materials be used to ensure proper fit, performance, and appearance. A targeted repair was recommended to restore protection without disturbing surrounding roof sections.
Results
The completed repair restored the affected hip area, securing loose and damaged shingles and reestablishing proper weather resistance. Matching CertainTeed hip and ridge cap shingles ensured a seamless blend with the existing roof, preserving both functionality and curb appeal. With proper fastening and sealant application completed to manufacturer standards, the repaired section now provides reliable protection against wind and rain.
