Cumming | Targeted Roof Repair
This roof repair in Cumming, GA restored critical protection to the home using GAF Timberline HDZ shingles in Weathered Wood. The project addressed active leak concerns, reinforced vulnerable penetrations, and ensured continued performance of the existing roofing system without the need for a full replacement.
Project Overview
Following signs of localized wear and water intrusion, the homeowner identified issues around roof penetrations and surrounding shingle areas. An inspection confirmed the need for targeted repairs rather than a full roof replacement. The scope of work focused on plumbing vent penetrations, sealing vulnerable areas, and replacing damaged shingles to restore watertight integrity and prevent further deterioration.
Results
The completed repairs successfully restored protection and extended the service life of the existing roof system. Damaged shingles were replaced with GAF Timberline HDZ shingles in Weathered Wood to maintain a consistent appearance. Plumbing vent penetrations were reinforced with new vent boots and rubber rain collars to improve long-term sealing performance.
Additional StormGuard was installed around penetrations to enhance leak protection, while fasteners and hardware were properly secured to ensure durability. With repairs completed to manufacturer standards, the homeowner now has a reinforced roofing system designed to withstand future rain events and prevent recurring leaks.
