Lilburn Weathered Gray Roof Replacement
This roof replacement in Lilburn, GA restored full protection to the home using GAF Royal Sovereign shingles in Weathered Gray. 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 storm exposure and age-related wear, the homeowner noticed declining roof performance, including aging shingles, vulnerable flashing areas, and ventilation deficiencies. An inspection confirmed the need for a full roof replacement, along with upgraded leak protection, necessary decking repairs, and improved ventilation. The home’s existing roofing system no longer provided dependable defense against Lilburn’s frequent rain and seasonal storms, prompting the need for a long-term, reliable roofing solution.
Results
The new roofing system delivered immediate improvements in protection, appearance, and overall performance. GAF Royal Sovereign shingles provided consistent coverage, dependable wind resistance, and long-term durability. Advanced leak barriers were installed at valleys, penetrations, chimneys, and wall transitions to protect vulnerable areas from moisture intrusion. Ridge ventilation was installed across ridgelines to promote proper airflow and attic performance, while damaged decking was replaced where necessary. Vent stacks and metal components were sealed and painted for a clean, finished appearance. Installed to manufacturer standards, the homeowner now has a secure roofing system built to perform through future storms.
