Alpharetta Weathered Wood Roof Replacement
This roof replacement in Alpharetta, GA restored full protection to the home using GAF Timberline HDZ shingles in Weathered Wood. The project improved curb appeal, strengthened leak protection, and delivered a durable, manufacturer-backed roofing system built for long-term performance.
Project Overview
Following age-related wear and storm exposure, the homeowner noticed declining roof performance, including aging shingles, vulnerable flashing areas, and concerns around overall leak protection. An inspection confirmed the need for a full roof replacement to address worn materials, improve water management, and bring the roofing system up to current installation standards. The existing roof no longer provided dependable protection against Alpharetta’s frequent rain and seasonal storms, making replacement the most reliable long-term solution.
Results
The completed 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, walls, and chimneys to strengthen water protection. Ridge ventilation was installed across all ridges to improve airflow and help regulate attic temperatures. Any deteriorated decking discovered during removal was replaced as needed to ensure a solid nailing surface. With installation completed to manufacturer specifications and Golden Pledge standards, the home now has a secure, high-performing roofing system built to withstand future weather conditions.
