Lower Roof Shingle & Flashing Repair – Acworth, GA
This roof repair in Acworth, GA restored protection to the home by addressing damaged shingles and compromised flashing on the lower roof section. The project focused on reinforcing vulnerable areas to improve weather resistance, prevent water intrusion, and extend the life of the existing roofing system.
Project Overview
The homeowner reported concerns on the lower rear roof section where shingles and flashing had deteriorated and were no longer providing proper protection. An inspection confirmed localized damage, including worn shingles and compromised step flashing, which required immediate attention to prevent leaks and further deterioration.
Rather than a full roof replacement, the scope of work focused on targeted repairs. These included replacing damaged shingles, reinforcing the area with ice and water shield, and installing new step flashing to properly seal roof-to-wall transitions.
Results
The completed repairs restored proper sealing and protection to the affected roof section. Owens Corning Duration shingles in Estate Gray were installed to blend seamlessly with the existing roof, maintaining curb appeal while ensuring durable coverage. New step flashing and storm guard underlayment significantly improved water resistance, reducing the risk of future leaks and extending the service life of the roof.
