Project At-a-Glance

• Roof Size: ~60 squares (5,800 sq ft)
• Roof Type: Architectural shingle roofing system
• Shingle Brand: Owens Corning
• Insurer: Allstate
• Location: Sugar Hill, GA

Challenge: Storm Damage and Existing Roof System Wear

The existing architectural shingle roof had sustained storm-related damage, prompting an insurance claim and full system replacement. The property also had a prior leak identified in a secondary structure, indicating vulnerabilities in the existing roofing system that required attention.

Additional challenges included coordinating installation around existing features such as gutter guards, ventilation systems, and surrounding landscaping. Protecting the property during tear-off and ensuring proper preparation of both exterior and interior spaces added to the complexity of the project.

Solution: Complete Roofing System Upgrade with Owens Corning Materials

To address the damage and improve long-term performance, a full tear-off and replacement of the roofing system was completed. The new system incorporated durable materials and modern installation practices to enhance protection and efficiency.

Key steps included:

• Removal of one existing layer of roofing materials down to the deck
• Installation of synthetic underlayment to improve moisture resistance
• Installation of Owens Corning architectural shingles for enhanced durability and curb appeal
• Upgrading ventilation with a ridge vent system to improve airflow and attic performance
• Installation of six new pipe boots and black drip edge for improved water management
• Replacement of up to five sheets of decking to ensure structural integrity where needed
• Careful protection of landscaping and exterior features during installation

This approach ensured the roof was rebuilt to current standards while addressing both visible damage and underlying concerns.

Result: Reliable Protection and Improved Home Performance

The completed roofing system restored full protection to the property, eliminating previous vulnerabilities and improving resistance to future weather events. The upgraded ventilation system supports better airflow, helping regulate attic temperatures and reduce moisture buildup.

From the homeowner’s perspective, the project delivered both functional and emotional value. The property now benefits from a durable, visually appealing roofing system, along with the peace of mind that comes from knowing the home is properly protected.

Trust & Proof: Manufacturer-Backed Warranty and Professional Installation

The new roofing system is backed by an Owens Corning Preferred Protection Warranty, which includes a 50-year manufacturer warranty and a 10-year workmanship component. This level of coverage provides long-term assurance of product performance and installation quality.

The project was completed with attention to detail, including proper preparation, safety measures, and protection of the property throughout the process. Combined with manufacturer-backed materials, the result reflects a high standard of craftsmanship and reliability.
