How often should I replace my roof?
According to Owens Corning and other leading manufacturers, most asphalt shingle roofs last 20-30 years depending on the quality of materials, installation, and maintenance. In Georgia's climate, factors like heat, humidity, and storm exposure can affect longevity. Signs you may need a replacement include curling shingles, missing granules, leaks, or visible wear. We offer free inspections to assess your roof's condition and remaining lifespan. Learn more about our roof replacement services.
How do I prepare my home for a roofing project?
Before we arrive, move vehicles from the driveway and garage, cover items in your attic, remove wall decorations that may be affected by vibration, and keep pets indoors during the work. We'll provide a complete preparation checklist before starting your project.

What warranties do you offer?
We provide comprehensive warranties on all our work and materials. Manufacturer warranties vary by product—typically 20-50 years for roofing materials, with some premium products offering lifetime warranties. We install shingles fromOwens Corning,GAF, andAtlas. We also back our workmanship with our own guarantee to ensure your complete satisfaction.
Do you clean up after the project?
Absolutely! We thoroughly clean up all debris, nails, and materials after every project. We use magnetic tools to ensure no nails are left behind that could damage tires or hurt pets and children. All old materials are hauled away and properly disposed of.
Gutters & Drainage
What's the difference between seamless gutters and traditional gutters?
Seamless gutters are custom-made on-site to fit your home perfectly with no seams along the length of each run. This eliminates the most common leak points found in traditional sectional gutters. Seamless gutters are more durable, look cleaner, and require less maintenance over their lifetime.
Are gutter guards worth the investment?
Yes! Gutter guards prevent leaves, pine needles, and debris from clogging your gutters, which means no more dangerous ladder climbs to clean them. In metro Atlanta with our abundant trees, gutter guards pay for themselves by preventing clogs, water damage, and the hassle of regular cleaning. They also help prevent ice dams in winter and reduce mosquito breeding areas in summer.
