Roof Repair Services in Decatur, DeKalb County, GA

Yes. Call any time, including nights, weekends and holidays. For active leaks we can tarp and secure your roof the same day or night with our emergency roof repair service.

It depends on the type and size of the damage. Small repairs like a pipe boot or a few shingles cost far less than storm or decking repairs. See our roof repair cost guide. We inspect first and give you a written price before any work starts.

We document storm damage with photos and a written report you can send to your insurance company, and we can meet with your adjuster on site.

If the damage is limited and the roof has life left, a repair is usually the smart choice. We'll tell you honestly which option makes sense for your roof and budget.

In the Atlanta area, replacing an asphalt shingle roof on a typical 2,000 square foot home usually costs about $9,000 to $15,000. Metal, tile and other premium materials can cost $20,000 or more. The final price depends on the roof's size and pitch, the material, how many layers must be torn off and whether any decking needs replacing. If your roof only has damage in a few areas, a roof repair can cost far less than a full replacement.

Not always. Many asphalt shingle roofs last 20 to 30 years, so a 20-year-old roof is getting close to the end of its life but may still have good years left. If the problems are limited to a few areas, a repair is often enough. If you see widespread curling, heavy granule loss, soft spots or repeated leaks, replacement may make more sense. A roof inspection will show you which option is right.

The 25% rule is a building code guideline, best known from the Florida Building Code, that says if more than 25% of a roof is repaired or replaced within a 12-month period, the whole roof must be brought up to current code, which usually means a full replacement. Georgia does not follow Florida's rule, but some local codes, insurers and shingle manufacturers have similar guidelines, so it's worth asking before planning large repairs.

The five most common roofing problems are roof leaks, damaged or missing shingles, failed flashing around chimneys, vents and skylights, storm damage from wind and hail, and poor attic ventilation that traps heat and moisture and wears shingles out early.

The weakest parts of a roof are usually the joints and openings: flashing around chimneys, skylights and walls, pipe boots around plumbing vents, and roof valleys where two slopes meet and carry the most water. These areas account for most roof leaks, so we check them first during every inspection.

It depends on the material. Asphalt shingle roofs usually last 20 to 30 years, metal roofs 40 to 70 years, flat roofs such as TPO or EPDM 15 to 30 years, and tile or slate 50 years or more. Georgia's heat, humidity and storms can shorten a roof's life, while regular inspections and quick repairs help it last longer.

Homeowners insurance often covers roof damage caused by sudden events such as wind, hail, fallen trees or fire. It usually does not cover damage from normal wear and tear, age or lack of maintenance. Coverage depends on your policy and deductible, so check with your insurance company. For storm damage, we provide photos and a written report you can send with your claim.
