Hail Damaged Roof in Atlanta, GA

A residential property in Atlanta, GA experienced significant hail impact that compromised the existing shingle roof and roof accessories. Working with the insurer/TPA Sedgwick, the homeowner chose a premium designer shingle system to restore protection and elevate curb appeal with a same-day roofing installation.

Project At-a-Glance

• Roof size: approximately 75 squares (~7,500 sq ft)
• Shingle brand and color: GAF Camelot II – Antique Slate
• Insurer/TPA: Sedgwick
• City: Atlanta, GA

Challenge: Restoring a hail-struck, multi-plane roof with aging accessories

The storm left widespread shingle bruising and granule loss across a complex roof with multiple planes, valleys, and penetrations. In addition to the field damage, water-shedding details like valleys, vents, and flashing needed careful attention to prevent future leaks once Atlanta’s next downpour arrived.

Solution: Premium designer shingles with upgraded flashing, ventilation, and drainage

We recommended GAF Camelot II designer shingles in Antique Slate to provide enhanced wind and impact resistance and a dimensional look that complements the home. The crew coordinated with Sedgwick for approvals, staged the site for safety, and completed the new roofing system in one day to minimize disruption for the homeowner.

Key steps included:

• Installed 30-lb felt underlayment over the prepared roof deck for a reliable secondary water barrier.
• Upgraded water-shedding details with W-valley metal, plus new drip edge and gutter apron to guide runoff.
• Set high-profile ridge with matching accessories for uniform weather protection and a finished look.
• Improved attic airflow with four turtle vents to help manage heat and moisture.
• Reflashed the chimney and sealed all pipe jacks to secure leak-prone penetrations.
• Replaced gutters to move water away from the structure, helping protect the foundation and reduce erosion.

Result: Strong weather defense, cleaner drainage, and a fast turnaround

The new GAF Camelot II roofing system delivers durable, impact-resistant protection for Atlanta’s storm cycles, with tight flashing and ridge details to keep water out. Paired with new gutters, runoff is guided away from the foundation to reduce erosion and help preserve the landscaping. Completed in a single day, the project restored curb appeal and gave the homeowner quick peace of mind.

Trust & Proof: Brand-name materials and documented workmanship

The project features GAF’s Camelot II designer shingles installed to manufacturer specifications, along with metal valleys, drip edge, and professionally executed flashing at all penetrations. The one-day completion timeline and thorough cleanup demonstrate an efficient process and respect for the property. Local references and additional project photos are available upon request.
