Residential Roof Replacement – Acworth, GA
This roof replacement in Acworth, GA restored full protection to the home using GAF Timberline HDZ architectural shingles in Charcoal. The project improved curb appeal, increased weather resistance, and delivered a durable, manufacturer-backed roofing system designed to perform reliably in local climate conditions.
Project Overview
After evaluating the condition of the existing roofing system, the homeowner chose to proceed with a full roof replacement to address aging materials and areas of compromised performance. The original roof no longer provided dependable protection against wind, rain, and seasonal weather common to the Acworth area.
The scope of work included a complete tear-off of the existing roofing materials, inspection and replacement of damaged decking as needed, and installation of a new GAF roofing system built to manufacturer specifications. The project also incorporated upgraded flashing, enhanced waterproofing at penetrations and valleys, and modified bitumen installation at low-slope sections to ensure comprehensive protection.
Results
The completed 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 Charcoal color refreshed the home’s exterior while maintaining a clean, cohesive look. With proper underlayment installation, improved ventilation, and reinforced flashing details, the homeowner now has a secure roof system backed by strong product warranties and increased resilience against future storms.
