Architectural Shingle Roof Replacement After Wind Damage in Canton, GA

A residential property in Canton, GA experienced wind damage that compromised the architectural shingles and led to active leaks. The homeowner filed a wind claim with Openly, which documented the loss and roof conditions, paving the way for a full replacement by our team.

Project At-a-Glance

• Roof size: ≈45 squares (about 4,500 sq ft)
• Shingle: Owens Corning Duration, Estate Gray
• Insurer: Openly
• City: Canton, GA

Challenge: Wind-lifted shingles, leaks, and a steep two-story roof

Insurer documentation cited wind damage concentrated on the front slopes, with the roof measured at steep pitches (10/12–12/12) and two-story height—factors that increase tear-off and installation complexity. Two interior leak points were also noted, and existing gutter guards required extra protection to avoid clogging or damage during debris removal. Working inside a guarded, gated community further added to access coordination in Canton, GA.

Solution: A durable, well-ventilated Owens Corning roofing system

We recommended a complete architectural shingle replacement using Owens Corning Duration in Estate Gray with synthetic underlayment and a continuous ridge-vent system to maintain balanced attic ventilation. Care plans included satellite-dish removal, landscape protection around two Japanese maples and flower beds, and debris controls suitable for a steep, two-story roof in Canton, GA.

Key steps:

• Tear-off of existing architectural shingles and steep-slope safety setup for 10/12–12/12 pitches
• Installation of synthetic underlayment and shingle-over ridge vent; new drip edge in black and three new pipe boots
• Replacement allowance for up to five sheets of roof decking if needed during install
• Protection of gutter-guard system and property features; on-site 20-yard dumpster for clean, fast debris removal
• Final quality walk-through and ventilation check to ensure a balanced, code-compliant system in Canton, GA

Result: Strong weather protection and restored peace of mind

The new roofing system provides durable, wind-resistant protection and improved ventilation performance for the home. With leaks addressed and steep-slope details handled cleanly, the property owner gained peace of mind, renewed curb appeal, and trust in the roof’s readiness for future storms in Canton, GA.

Trust & Proof: Documented storm damage and brand-name materials
