Challenge: Wind Damage on a Steep, Two-Story Roof

The property sustained wind damage that compromised the integrity of the existing laminated composition shingle roof. According to the insurance estimate, the roof measured 74.98 squares and featured multiple hips and ridges, along with steep slopes ranging from 10/12 to 12/12 pitches. The structure also included high roof sections exceeding two stories, increasing both complexity and safety requirements.

The existing roofing system included ridge vent ventilation, pipe jack flashings, roll roofing in select sections, and aluminum gutters and downspouts. Wind uplift had weakened shingle adhesion and exposed vulnerable areas of the roof system, making a full replacement necessary to restore proper protection.

In addition to the roofing materials themselves, the home’s height and steep pitch required specialized installation techniques and enhanced safety planning to ensure a secure and efficient project.

Solution: Full Owens Corning Roofing System Installation

To restore the home in Suwanee, GA, we performed a complete tear-off of the existing architectural shingles and underlayment before installing a new Owens Corning architectural shingle roofing system in Williamsburg Gray.

Our step-by-step approach included:

• Full removal of approximately 75 squares of laminated composition shingles
• Installation of synthetic underlayment for enhanced moisture protection
• Installation of Owens Corning architectural shingles with proper waste calculation
• Replacement of continuous shingle-over ridge vent system (132 linear feet)
• Installation of new hip and ridge caps
• Replacement of pipe jack flashings and furnace vent caps
• Installation of black drip edge for clean perimeter protection
• Replacement of 292 linear feet of aluminum gutters and downspouts
• High-roof and steep-slope installation procedures for 10/12–12/12 pitches

Given the roof’s steep pitch and multi-level design, our crews followed strict safety protocols and used appropriate fall-protection systems to complete the project efficiently while maintaining quality workmanship.

The new roofing installation was completed in accordance with insurance-approved scope and designed to withstand future wind events common in the Suwanee area.

Result: Restored Protection and Long-Term Performance

The completed roofing system provides enhanced wind resistance, improved attic ventilation, and reliable water-shedding performance across the home’s complex roofline. The Owens Corning architectural shingles in Williamsburg Gray deliver a dimensional appearance that elevates the home’s curb appeal while maintaining neighborhood harmony.

By replacing the full roofing system—including underlayment, ventilation components, flashings, and gutters—the homeowner now benefits from improved drainage, structural protection, and long-term durability.

Beyond the tangible upgrades, the project restored peace of mind. After experiencing storm damage, the homeowner can now feel confident knowing their Suwanee, GA property is protected by a professionally installed, high-quality roofing system.
