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

A residential property in Alpharetta, Georgia required a complete roofing system replacement following hail damage. After a Farmers Insurance assessment, the homeowner moved forward with a comprehensive roofing restoration designed to replace the aging architectural roof, improve ventilation, address vulnerable flashing and drainage areas, and correct water-intrusion concerns around the front entry and an upstairs bedroom. The new roofing system featured Owens Corning shingles in Williamsburg Gray, synthetic felt underlayment, upgraded ridge ventilation, and additional waterproofing improvements tailored to the property.

Challenge: Correcting Hail Damage, Steep Roof Conditions, and Water-Intrusion Risks

The roofing system measured approximately 3,545 square feet and included more than 71 linear feet of ridge and approximately 187 linear feet of hip. Large portions of the roof carried steep 10/12–12/12 pitches, and much of the work was performed on two-story roof sections, adding complexity to tear-off, material handling, flashing work, and installation.

The property also presented several water-management concerns beyond the primary shingle roof. A prior leak was documented in an upstairs bedroom, while the front entry area required attention to an affected gutter section, a leaking metal awning rib, exposed step flashing along brick, and a dead-valley condition where the roof slope met the wall. The restoration therefore required a coordinated approach to roofing, flashing, drainage, carpentry, and interior finishing rather than a basic shingle replacement.

Solution: Owens Corning Roofing Installation with Custom Water-Management Improvements

The new roofing system was designed around Owens Corning Williamsburg Gray shingles, synthetic felt underlayment, upgraded ridge ventilation, black drip edge, and replacement roofing accessories. The project also incorporated targeted improvements around the front entry, chimney, and vulnerable wall transitions to strengthen drainage and reduce the risk of recurring water intrusion.

Key project steps included:

• Removal of the existing architectural roofing system
• Installation of Owens Corning shingles in Williamsburg Gray
• Installation of synthetic felt underlayment
• Upgrade to ridge vent ventilation
• Installation of five pipe boots
• Installation of black drip edge
• Installation of hip and ridge cap shingles
• Installation of valley metal
• Replacement of gable cornice return materials as required
• Allowance for replacement of up to five sheets of roof decking
• Removal and replacement of the affected front-entry gutter section with a 6-inch seamless Senox gutter system
• Sealing of the front metal awning at the leaking rib and brick transition points
• Replacement and refinishing of the damaged front porch ceiling panel
• Removal and reinstallation of the front porch hanging light during ceiling repairs
• Construction of a custom cricket at the dead-valley area to redirect water away from the wall
• Installation of galvanized counter flashing over exposed step flashing along the brick wall
• Inspection and replacement of deteriorated or damaged chimney wood as needed
• Repair and repainting of the affected upstairs bedroom area
• Full 360-degree landscaping protection throughout construction

The resulting roofing services addressed both the primary roof covering and the property’s more complex water-management details. By combining a new Owens Corning roofing system with drainage corrections, flashing improvements, carpentry work, and targeted leak-related repairs, the project created a more complete solution for the home’s needs in Alpharetta.

Result: Improved Drainage, Weather Protection, and Long-Term Reliability

The completed roofing restoration provided the home with a renewed protective system designed to better manage rainfall, ventilation, and moisture exposure. New shingles, synthetic underlayment, upgraded ridge ventilation, flashing improvements, valley protection, drainage corrections, and localized carpentry repairs work together to strengthen the home’s ability to resist future water intrusion and weather-related wear.

The custom cricket and counter flashing improvements also addressed vulnerable transition areas where water could collect or migrate toward the wall. Combined with repairs at the metal awning, front porch ceiling, chimney, and upstairs bedroom, the project gave the homeowner greater confidence that both the visible roofing damage and underlying water-management concerns had been addressed. The Williamsburg Gray Owens Corning shingles also refreshed the home’s exterior appearance, supporting renewed pride and peace of mind in Alpharetta.

Trust & Proof: Farmers-Supported Restoration with Detailed Roofing and Leak-Prevention Improvements

The restoration followed a Farmers Insurance hail-loss assessment that documented a roofing system of approximately 35.45 squares along with steep and high-roof conditions, architectural shingles, ridge ventilation, pipe flashing, gable cornice returns, drip edge, valley metal, and other roofing components included in the repair scope.

The completed roofing plan went further by incorporating Owens Corning Williamsburg Gray shingles, synthetic felt underlayment, upgraded ridge ventilation, black drip edge, multiple pipe boots, drainage improvements, a custom cricket, counter flashing, gutter replacement, awning sealing, chimney wood repairs, and interior restoration related to the prior leak. The project is backed by the RoofServ Premium Warranty, providing five years of labor-related coverage for roofing leaks and workmanship-related issues, helping provide added confidence in the finished roofing installation.
