Shakewood Shingle Roof Replacement – Kennesaw
This roof replacement in Kennesaw, GA restored full protection to the home using GAF Timberline HDZ architectural shingles in Shakewood. The project improved curb appeal, increased weather resistance, and provided the homeowner with a durable, manufacturer-backed roofing system built to perform in local climate conditions.
Project Overview
Following an inspection of the existing roofing system, the homeowner elected to proceed with a full roof replacement to address aging materials and areas of reduced performance. The original roof no longer provided dependable protection against wind, rain, and seasonal weather common to the Kennesaw 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. Advanced leak barriers, updated flashing, and improved ventilation were incorporated to ensure 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 reliable long-term durability. The Shakewood color refreshed the home’s exterior with a warm, natural look that complements the surrounding architecture. With installation completed to manufacturer standards, the homeowner now has a secure roof system backed by strong product warranties and increased resilience for future storms.
