Fayetteville Charcoal Roofing System Upgrade
This roof replacement in Fayetteville, GA restored full protection to the home using GAF Timberline HDZ shingles in Charcoal. The project improved weather resistance, addressed decking and ventilation concerns, and ensured the homeowner received a durable, manufacturer-backed roofing system designed for long-term performance.
Project Overview
Following age-related wear and declining roof performance, the homeowner experienced concerns related to aging shingles, vulnerable flashing areas, and underlying decking conditions. An inspection confirmed the need for a full roof replacement, along with upgraded leak protection, flashing improvements, and ventilation enhancements. The existing roof system no longer provided dependable defense against Fayetteville’s frequent rain and seasonal storms, prompting the need for a comprehensive and long-lasting solution.
Results
The new roofing system delivered immediate improvements in protection, durability, and overall performance. GAF Timberline HDZ shingles provided consistent coverage and enhanced wind resistance across all roof slopes. Advanced leak barriers were installed at valleys, penetrations, chimneys, and wall intersections, while new flashing systems were added at walls and chimneys to ensure proper water management. Ridge ventilation was upgraded by removing existing box vents and installing a continuous Cobra III ridge vent system for balanced airflow. Any deteriorated decking was replaced as needed to restore structural integrity. With installation completed to manufacturer and code standards, the home now has a secure roofing system built to perform through future storms.
