Roof Replacement in Atlanta
A new roof is one of the biggest investments you will make in your home, so it should start with honest advice. Advanced Roofing & Paving inspects your current roof, tells you whether replacement is really needed, and if it is, gives you a clear written scope covering tear-off, decking, underlayment, flashing, ventilation and the roofing material you choose.
When Is It Time for a New Roof?
- Leaks in several areas, or leaks that come back after repair
- Shingles curling, cracking or losing granules across most of the roof
- Soft, sagging or rotted decking
- Widespread storm damage that a repair cannot fully fix
- The roof is near or past the expected life of its material
- You are preparing to sell and the roof is flagged in a home inspection
If only one area is failing, roof repair may be the better choice. We will tell you which one fits.
What a Full Roof Replacement Includes
| Component | What we do |
|---|---|
| Tear-off | Remove existing roofing down to the deck so hidden damage can be seen. |
| Decking | Replace soft or rotted plywood or boards. |
| Underlayment | Install synthetic underlayment, with leak barrier in valleys and around penetrations. |
| Drip edge | New metal edge to guide water into gutters. |
| Flashing | New flashing at chimneys, walls, valleys and vents rather than reusing old metal. |
| Ventilation | Ridge and intake ventilation checked and corrected to reduce attic heat. |
| Roofing material | Asphalt shingles or metal, installed to manufacturer specifications. |
| Cleanup | Debris removed, yard and driveway cleared, nails swept. |
Choosing Your New Roofing Material
- Asphalt shingles are the most common choice for Atlanta homes, with a wide range of colors and styles. See shingle roofing.
- Metal roofing costs more up front but lasts longer and reflects more summer heat. See residential metal roofing.
- Tile and slate are usually repaired rather than replaced on older homes. See tile and slate roof repair
