Signs You Need a New Roof
Not sure if it's time for a new roof? Here are the most common signs that Atlanta homeowners should watch for. If any of these sound familiar, give us a call at (404) 797-8115 for a free inspection.
Your Roof is 20+ Years Old
Most asphalt shingle roofs in Atlanta last 20-25 years. If your roof is getting up there in age, it's time to start planning for a replacement—even if it looks okay from the ground.
Shingles are Curling or Buckling
When shingles start to curl up at the edges or buckle in the middle, they can no longer protect your home properly. This usually means the shingles have reached the end of their life.
You Keep Needing Repairs
If you've had your roofer out multiple times in the past few years, those repair costs add up. At some point, a new roof is actually cheaper than continuing to patch the old one.
Missing Shingles After Storms
Georgia storms can be rough on roofs. If you're losing shingles every time a big storm rolls through, your roof isn't holding up like it should anymore.
Granules in Your Gutters
Those little gravel-like pieces in your gutters? They're granules from your shingles. Some loss is normal, but if you're seeing a lot of them, your shingles are wearing out.
Daylight Through the Roof Boards
If you go into your attic and see light coming through the roof boards, that's a serious problem. Water can get in wherever light can, so this needs immediate attention.
Shingles We Install
We install shingles from GAF and Tamko—two of America's most trusted roofing brands. Their products are built to handle Georgia's hot summers, heavy rains, and occasional hail storms, and they back it all with strong warranties.

What to Expect on Installation Day
We know having work done on your home can feel stressful. Here's exactly what happens when our crew shows up to install your new roof.
Early Morning Arrival (7:00-8:00 AM)
Our crew typically arrives between 7 and 8 in the morning. We'll bring all the materials and equipment needed for the job. You don't need to be home, but if you are, we'll touch base with you before we start.
It Gets Loud
Fair warning—tearing off a roof is noisy work. There's going to be banging, scraping, and the sound of shingles sliding into dumpsters. If you work from home, you might want to plan around this. Most of the loud work happens in the first few hours.
Protecting Your Property
Before we start, we put tarps over bushes, flower beds, and air conditioning units near the house. We also set up our dumpster in a spot that won't damage your driveway (we use boards underneath if needed).
End of Day Cleanup (Usually 5:00-6:00 PM)
By late afternoon, most roofs are completely finished. We clean up the entire property, run magnetic rollers across your yard and driveway to pick up nails, and do a final inspection. We'll walk you through the completed work and answer any questions.
Our Roof Installation Process
From your first phone call to the final nail, here's the step-by-step process for getting a new roof from First Response Home Services.
Free Estimate & Planning
We start by coming to your home to measure your roof and look at its current condition. We'll talk about what you're looking for, show you shingle samples, and answer all your questions. Then we give you a clear, written quote with no hidden fees or surprise charges. Most estimates take about 30 minutes.
Material Selection & Scheduling
Once you decide to move forward, we'll help you pick the perfect shingles for your home. We'll show you color samples and help you choose something that matches your house and neighborhood. Then we schedule your installation for a day that works for you. We order materials ahead of time so everything is ready to go.
Preparation & Tear-Off
On installation day, our crew arrives early and gets to work. We put tarps around your home to protect your landscaping and catch debris. Then we tear off all the old shingles down to the wood deck underneath. We check every inch of the deck for rot, soft spots, or damage. If we find any problems, we fix them before moving on.
Installation
This is where the magic happens. We install a waterproof underlayment over the entire roof deck. Then we add drip edge along all the edges, ice and water shield in valleys and around penetrations, and proper flashing around chimneys, vents, and skylights. Finally, we lay your new shingles following the exact specs from the manufacturer.
Cleanup & Final Inspection
When the last shingle is in place, the job isn't over. We do a thorough cleanup of your entire property. We use magnetic rollers to pick up every nail from your yard and driveway. Then we do a final walk-through inspection to make sure everything looks perfect. We don't leave until you're completely happy with the work.
What Affects Your Roof Installation Cost?
Every roof is different, so prices vary from home to home. Here are the main things that affect how much your new roof will cost in the Atlanta area.
Roof Size
Roofing is priced by the square (100 square feet). A bigger roof means more materials and more labor, so the total cost goes up. Most Atlanta homes are between 15 and 35 squares.
Roof Pitch (Steepness)
Steeper roofs are harder and more dangerous to work on. If your roof has a steep pitch, it takes longer to install and requires extra safety equipment, which affects the price.
Layers to Remove
If your home has two or three layers of old shingles, we have to tear all of them off. More layers means more labor and more disposal costs. Some older Atlanta homes have multiple layers.
Shingle Type & Brand
Basic 3-tab shingles cost less than architectural shingles. Premium designer shingles cost more but last longer and look better. The brand you choose also affects the price.
Deck Repairs
We won't know the exact condition of your roof deck until we tear off the old shingles. If there's rotted wood or water damage underneath, we'll need to replace those boards.
Extra Features
Things like skylights, chimneys, and multiple roof valleys make installation more complex. These areas need extra flashing and careful attention, which takes more time.
