Weathered Wood Roof Replacement | Acworth, GA
This roof replacement project in Acworth, GA restored full protection to the home using GAF Timberline HDZ shingles in Weathered Wood. The upgrade enhanced curb appeal, improved storm resistance, and delivered a durable, manufacturer-backed roofing system designed to perform in Georgia’s variable climate conditions.
Project Overview
Following storm exposure and long-term wear, the homeowner began experiencing declining roof performance, including aging shingles, compromised flashing, and areas vulnerable to water intrusion. An inspection confirmed the existing roofing system had reached the end of its service life and no longer provided dependable protection against heavy rain, wind, and seasonal storms common in the Acworth area. A full roof replacement was recommended to restore structural integrity, improve weather resistance, and ensure long-term reliability.
Results
The completed roofing system delivered immediate improvements in both performance and appearance. GAF Timberline HDZ shingles were installed to provide enhanced wind resistance, consistent coverage, and long-term durability. Advanced leak protection was added at valleys, slope transitions, penetrations, and wall intersections using StormGuard ice and water shield. All eaves and rakes were reinforced with new drip edge for added moisture protection.
Ventilation was improved by installing a full ridge vent system, allowing for balanced airflow and improved attic performance. Necessary decking repairs were completed using OSB sheathing to ensure a solid installation surface. All flashing components—including step flashing, headwall flashing, pipe boots, and sealants—were replaced or upgraded to manufacturer standards. With installation completed according to best practices, the homeowner now has a dependable roofing system built to withstand future weather events.
