Hail Damage Roof Replacement with Owens Corning Shingles in Pendergrass, GA

A residential property in Pendergrass, GA sustained significant hail damage following a storm event, prompting the homeowner to file a claim with State Farm. After a detailed inspection and estimate, a full roofing system replacement was approved to restore the home’s structural protection and ensure long-term durability against future weather events.

Project At-a-Glance

• Roof Size: ~75 squares (≈7,500 sq. ft.)
• Shingle Brand: Owens Corning (Driftwood)
• Insurance Provider: State Farm
• Location: Pendergrass, GA

Challenge: Large-Scale Hail Damage on a Complex Roof System

The primary challenge was extensive hail damage across a large and complex roofing system measuring over 7,200 square feet, as shown in the EagleView diagram and measurements on page 5 of the insurance report. The damage affected shingles, flashing components, and drainage systems, requiring a comprehensive approach rather than isolated repairs.

Additionally, the roof featured multiple pitches, including steep sections (7/12 to 12/12 slopes) and elevated areas, which increased both the technical difficulty and safety requirements during installation. The property also required careful handling of exterior elements, including landscaping near the home and mounted fixtures like a satellite system.

Solution: Full System Replacement with Enhanced Protection and Ventilation

To fully restore the home, a complete roofing system replacement was performed using Owens Corning architectural shingles in the Driftwood color. The project focused on durability, code compliance, and proper ventilation across the expansive roof structure.

• Full tear-off and disposal of existing architectural shingles across approximately 75 squares
• Installation of Owens Corning shingles with calculated waste factors for complex roof geometry
• Application of synthetic underlayment and double-layer protection in low-slope areas
• Installation of ice and water barrier along eaves and valleys for enhanced moisture protection
• Replacement of ridge vent system to ensure proper attic airflow
• Installation of new flashing components, including pipe boots, step flashing, and chimney flashing
• Replacement of damaged decking where necessary (4 sheets)
• Integration of starter shingles, ridge cap shingles, and drip edge for complete system performance
• Removal and reset of mounted components such as satellite equipment
• Installation of new gutter and downspout sections where storm damage was identified

Result: Reinforced Protection for a Large Residential Property

The completed roofing system restored full protection to the property, addressing all storm-related damage and improving overall water management. With upgraded materials and enhanced waterproofing layers, the home is now better prepared to withstand heavy rain, wind, and future hail events.

Beyond the structural improvements, the homeowner gained confidence knowing their large and complex roof system was professionally restored with high-performance materials. The updated Driftwood shingle color also enhanced the home’s appearance, contributing to increased curb appeal.

Trust & Proof: Insurance-Approved Scope and Reliable Warranty Coverage

This project was backed by a State Farm insurance claim, with detailed measurements and scope validated through professional inspection and EagleView reporting. The inclusion of code-compliant upgrades—such as ice and water barriers and updated flashing systems—ensures the roof meets modern building standards.

The project also includes a RoofServ 5-Year Premium Warranty, providing additional assurance of workmanship quality and long-term performance. Combined with Owens Corning materials, the homeowner benefits from a reliable, professionally installed roofing system designed for durability and peace of mind.
