Kennesaw Charcoal Roof Restoration
This roof replacement in Kennesaw, GA restored full protection to the home using GAF Timberline HDZ shingles in Charcoal. The project improved curb appeal, increased weather resistance, and ensured the homeowner received a durable, manufacturer-backed roofing system built to meet local building codes and climate conditions.
Project Overview
Following storm-related damage and general roof wear, the homeowner scheduled a professional inspection to assess the condition of the existing roofing system. The inspection revealed aging materials, compromised components, and ventilation issues that reduced the roof’s ability to properly protect the home. Given Kennesaw’s frequent rain and seasonal storms, a full roof replacement was recommended to restore long-term performance, improve airflow, and ensure code compliance.
Results
The new roofing system delivered immediate improvements in protection, appearance, and overall functionality. GAF Timberline HDZ shingles provided enhanced wind resistance, consistent coverage, and long-term durability. The Charcoal color refreshed the home’s exterior with a clean, modern look. Installation included upgraded ventilation and complete flashing replacement, ensuring proper moisture control and improved attic airflow. Completed to manufacturer and IRC standards, the homeowner now has a secure, warrantied roofing system built to withstand future weather events.
