Weathered Wood Golden Pledge Roof Replacement

This roof replacement in Cumming, GA restored full protection to the home using GAF Timberline HDZ shingles in Weathered Wood. The project improved curb appeal, enhanced weather resistance, and provided the homeowner with a durable, manufacturer-backed roofing system designed to perform reliably in North Georgia’s storm-prone climate.


Project Overview

Following storm exposure and age-related wear, the homeowner noticed declining roof performance, including compromised shingles, deteriorated decking, vulnerable flashing areas, and outdated ventilation. An inspection confirmed the need for a full roof replacement, along with upgraded leak protection, decking repairs, and improved ventilation. The existing roof system no longer provided dependable defense against Cumming’s frequent rain and seasonal storms, prompting the need for a long-lasting, code-compliant roofing 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. Advanced leak barriers were installed at valleys, penetrations, and chimney areas using StormGuard ice and water shield, including double underlayment in the dead valley section of the roof.

Ventilation was upgraded by removing existing box vents and installing a full ridge vent system to improve airflow and attic performance. All flashing components—including step flashing, headwall flashing, and counter flashing—were replaced and sealed to manufacturer standards. Necessary decking repairs were completed using OSB sheathing to ensure a solid installation surface. HVAC vent stacks were sealed and painted for added protection. With installation completed to GAF Golden Pledge standards, the homeowner now has a secure roofing system built to perform through future storms.
