Atlanta Roof Replacement Project
This roof replacement in Atlanta, 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 for local climate conditions.
Project Overview
Following weather exposure and age-related wear, the homeowner noticed damage across the roof, including worn shingles, compromised ventilation, and vulnerable flashing areas. An inspection confirmed the need for a full roof replacement. The home’s existing roofing system no longer provided dependable defense against Atlanta’s frequent rain and seasonal storms, prompting the need for 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. Advanced leak barriers were installed at valleys, penetrations, chimneys, and low-slope sections, while outdated ventilation was removed and replaced with a new ridge vent system. Updated flashing, pipe boots, and HVAC components further reinforced moisture protection. With installation completed to manufacturer standards and backed by the GAF Golden Pledge warranty, the homeowner now has a secure roof with improved resilience for future storms.
