Price range: $$

Atlanta Roof Master replaces storm-battered, end-of-life roofs across metro Atlanta, and we quote roof replacement or roof repair only after we have walked your roof deck ourselves. Spring hail bruises shingles, summer UV bakes them, and our humidity wicks into every gap, so we check gutters, flashing, and attic ventilation before we recommend anything.

Roofing crew stripping old asphalt shingles during a roof replacement on an Atlanta home

A full roof replacement begins with a tear-off: we strip the existing asphalt shingles down to the roof deck, then inspect the sheathing for rot, sag, and soft spots. Plywood or OSB decking that has taken on water gets cut out and replaced.

Synthetic underlayment covers the whole deck, and a self-adhered ice-and-water shield runs along the eaves and up every valley, where meltwater backs up during an ice dam or a heavy spring storm.

Flashing gets replaced instead of reused — step flashing at sidewalls, counter-flashing at the chimney, pipe boot flashing at each penetration. Starter course and ridge cap come next, and a new drip edge protects the fascia board.

Shingle choice drives price and lifespan. Architectural shingles like GAF Timberline HDZ, CertainTeed Landmark, and Owens Corning Duration carry more asphalt and hold up better to hail than old three-tab. We also install Atlas Pinnacle Pristine, StormMaster, and GAF Camelot II.

Other options come up too. Clay tile, concrete tile, and slate carry serious weight and sometimes need extra framing. Cedar shake and wood shake need periodic maintenance. Metal panels, standing-seam panels, and corrugated panels last longer but cost more up front.

Cost tracks roof pitch, square count, how many valleys and dormers you have, how much decking we replace, and whether you pick dimensional or composite shingles. A steep hip roof over a 1920s Craftsman bungalow costs more than a low-slope mid-century ranch. Newer townhomes and condos often have shared rooflines and flat sections, so we plan those jobs around the HOA.

Flat and low-slope sections get a membrane instead of shingles: TPO, EPDM, PVC membrane, modified bitumen, or a built-up roof. Those details also cover parapet walls, scupper drains, coping, and the canopy or awning over a side door.

What's Included

Full tear-off down to the sheathing instead of a cheap recover or overlay, so we can see what the substrate actually looks like.

New synthetic underlayment, self-adhered ice-and-water shield at the eaves and valleys, and a fresh starter course along every rake.

Ridge cap and ridge vents set at the peak, plus a check on soffit vents and insulation so attic heat and moisture have somewhere to go.

Flashing work: step flashing, counter-flashing, chimney flashing, pipe boots, vent boots, and a new drip edge on the fascia.

Decking and framing repair, including rotted plywood or OSB and sistered rafter, truss, joist, or ridge beam members.

Daily magnet sweep, full debris haul-off, and a dumpster placed so nails never end up in your lawn or driveway.

A written line-item estimate before the crew arrives, and your manufacturer warranty registered in your name the same week.

Gutter and downspout check at the end, because a clean drainage path is what keeps your new waterproofing and weatherproofing working.

Our Roof Replacement Process

What a Roof Replacement Looks Like, Start to Finish

Roof inspection and roof estimate. We walk the roof, check the attic for daylight and moisture content, and measure each square. You get a line-item estimate, not a lump number.
Building code and permit check. We confirm what your jurisdiction requires for ice-and-water shield coverage and ventilation before anyone climbs a ladder.
Tear-off day. A dumpster lands in the driveway and the crew sets a ladder, scaffold, and safety harness before the first pry bar touches a shingle. Roofing shovels strip the field, and an air compressor feeds the nail gun once fastening starts.
Sheathing and framing repair. We replace rotted plywood or OSB and sister any softened rafter, truss, joist, or ridge beam we uncover. Older homes with purlins and battens get checked at each support.
Underlayment and flashing. Synthetic underlayment, self-adhered ice-and-water shield at the eaves and valleys, then step and counter-flashing bedded in roof cement, mastic, and sealant, with caulk at the small gaps.
Shingle install. Starter course along the eave, staggered courses up the field, ring-shank nails set with a nail gun and checked for overdriven fasteners. Every screw and fastener on metal gets the same look.
Ridge, vents, and trim. Ridge cap and ridge vents at the peak, apron flashing and chimney flashing at masonry, boot flashing and pipe boots at each penetration, and new drip edge along the eave and rake.
Final walk and warranty. We clean the gutters and downspouts, haul the last of the debris, and register your manufacturer warranty the same week.

Signs You Need Roof Replacement

Signs You Need Roof Replacement, Not Another Patch

Granule loss: you find sand-like grit in the gutters and downspouts after a rain, and the shingle surface looks bare in patches.
Widespread cracking, curling, or missing shingles across whole slopes rather than one isolated area.
A systemic leak — the same ceiling stain returning in three or more rooms after heavy spring storms, where water seeps past the underlayment.
Hail bruising from an April or May storm: soft, dented spots on asphalt shingles that look fine from the ground.
Soft or spongy decking underfoot, which usually means decay has moved past the shingle into the sheathing and rafters.
Daylight visible through the roof deck from inside the attic, or damp insulation that never quite dries out.
Blistered, peeling, or flaking surfaces where UV and summer heat have oxidized the asphalt, plus mold on the north slope.
An existing roof past end-of-life wear that has been patched twice in three seasons and keeps letting water intrude.

Roof Replacement — Frequently Asked Questions

How long does a roof replacement take in Atlanta?

Most single-family homes are a one-day job once material is on site. Steep pitches, multiple dormers, or heavy decking repair push it to two. We give you a window when we schedule and call if anything shifts.

What actually drives the cost of roof replacement?

Square footage, roof pitch, how many layers get torn off, how much plywood or OSB we replace, and which shingle line you pick. A simple gable is cheap to walk. A cut-up hip with valleys, dormers, and a steep gambrel or mansard slope is not.

Can you install over my existing roof instead of tearing it off?

We don't recommend it. An overlay hides rotted sheathing and failed flashing, and it can put you past what building code allows for roof weight. The tear-off is where we find the actual problems.

Will my insurance cover hail damage from a spring storm?

Often, yes. We document the storm date, photograph bruising and granule loss, and meet the adjuster on the roof so the scope matches what we find. Insurance claim assistance is part of the job, not an add-on.

Does Atlanta even get ice dams?

Rarely, but a January freeze can do it. Ice dam removal and steam ice treatment are separate calls from a roof replacement, and we handle both when water starts backing up under the eave.

Is there a better season for this work?

Spring and fall are easiest on the crew. Atlanta hail and summer heat slow everyone down, and shingles seal best in moderate temperatures. Roofs still get replaced here year-round.

Don't just take our word for it — hear from our satisfied customers.

"Hail took out half the shingles on our Sandy Springs roof in April. They tarped it the next morning, walked the deck with me, and had the replacement done in a day and a half. The rotted sheathing photos were the part that sold me — no guessing." — Marcus T., Sandy Springs

"We had three bids and theirs was the only one written line by line. They explained the ice-and-water shield coverage and why our valley flashing had failed. Decatur house, 1950s ranch, done in two days with the gutters cleaned after." — Priya R., Decatur

"Storm damage claim, adjuster meeting, the whole thing. They documented the storm date, met the adjuster on the roof, and the scope matched what the crew actually found. Alpharetta, and I would use them again tomorrow." — Dana K., Alpharetta
