Weathered Wood Roof Renewal
This roof replacement in Marietta, GA restored full protection to the home using GAF Timberline HDZ architectural shingles in Weathered Wood. The project improved curb appeal, increased weather resistance, and ensured the homeowner received a durable, manufacturer-backed roofing system built to perform under local climate conditions.
Project Overview
After inspection, the existing roofing system was found to be at the end of its service life with multiple areas of concern, including aging materials, compromised decking, and flashing issues around penetrations and skylights. Given Marietta’s frequent rain and storm activity, a full roof replacement was recommended to restore proper protection, improve ventilation, and address underlying structural and moisture-related vulnerabilities.
Results
The newly installed roofing system delivered immediate improvements in durability, protection, and appearance. GAF Timberline HDZ shingles in Weathered Wood provided enhanced wind resistance, consistent coverage, and long-term performance. Upgraded flashing, ventilation, and decking repairs ensured proper water management and airflow throughout the roof system. Installed to manufacturer specifications, the home is now protected by strong product warranties and a roofing system designed to withstand future weather events.
