Shakewood Shingle Roof Replacement – Acworth
This roof replacement in Acworth, GA restored full protection to the home using GAF Timberline HDZ architectural shingles in Shakewood. The project enhanced curb appeal, improved weather resistance, and provided the homeowner with a durable, manufacturer-backed roofing system designed to perform in local climate conditions.
Project Overview
After assessing the condition of the existing roofing system, the homeowner elected to proceed with a full roof replacement to address aging materials and ensure long-term protection. The original roof showed signs of wear that reduced its ability to withstand Georgia’s frequent rain, wind, and seasonal weather.
The scope of work included a complete tear-off of the existing roofing materials, inspection and repair of decking where required, and installation of a new GAF roofing system built to manufacturer specifications. Advanced leak barriers, updated flashing, and improved ventilation were incorporated to create a comprehensive and long-lasting solution.
Results
The new roofing system delivered immediate improvements in protection, appearance, and overall performance. GAF Timberline HDZ shingles provided enhanced wind resistance, consistent coverage, and long-term durability. The Shakewood color refreshed the home’s exterior with a warm, natural look that blends seamlessly with the surrounding architecture. With proper underlayment installation, upgraded flashing, and ridge ventilation installed to manufacturer standards, the homeowner now has a secure roof backed by strong product warranties and improved resilience for future storms.
