Insurance-Funded Asphalt Roof Replacement for Hail Damage in Alpharetta, GA

A residential property in Alpharetta, GA required a full roofing system replacement following hail damage. The homeowner filed an insurance claim through Travelers Insurance, which confirmed the need for repairs after the storm event. With a moderately sized but complex roof structure and additional exterior components like gutter guards and a satellite system, the project required careful coordination and attention to detail to ensure a seamless restoration.

Project At-a-Glance

• Roof Size: ~45 squares (4,500 sq. ft.)
• Shingle Brand: Owens Corning (Onyx Black)
• Insurance Provider: Travelers Insurance
• Location: Alpharetta, GA

Challenge: Hail Damage Across a Multi-Faceted Roofing System

The property sustained hail damage during a storm event, which compromised the integrity of the existing architectural shingle roof. The insurance estimate documented damage across multiple roof sections, confirming the need for a full replacement to restore protection.

The roof’s design added complexity to the project, featuring multiple slopes, ridges, and intersecting sections as shown in the roof diagram on page 3 of the insurance scope. These features required precise installation techniques and increased labor considerations. Additionally, existing components such as gutter guards and a satellite system needed to be carefully removed and reset during the process, while surrounding landscaping required protection.

Solution: Owens Corning Roofing System with Integrated Component Upgrades

To fully restore the home, a complete roofing system replacement was performed using Owens Corning materials designed for durability and long-term performance.

Key steps included:

• Full tear-off of the existing architectural shingle system (1 layer) to prepare for installation
• Installation of synthetic underlayment to enhance moisture protection
• Replacement of damaged decking sections to ensure a stable foundation (2 sheets replaced)
• Installation of Owens Corning shingles in Onyx Black for a modern, high-contrast finish
• Upgrade from box vents to a ridge vent system for improved attic ventilation
• Installation of new pipe boots, flashing, and drip edge for complete system performance
• Careful removal and reset of gutter guards and satellite equipment to preserve existing features
• Protection of landscaping through tarping and controlled material staging during installation

Material staging and dumpster placement were strategically planned on opposite sides of the driveway to maintain accessibility and workflow efficiency throughout the project.

Result: Enhanced Protection, Ventilation, and Curb Appeal

The completed roofing system restored full protection to the Alpharetta, GA home while significantly improving ventilation and overall performance. The ridge vent system promotes better airflow, helping regulate attic temperatures and extend the lifespan of the roofing system.

The Owens Corning shingles provide strong resistance to future hail and weather-related impacts while delivering a clean, modern aesthetic. The homeowner now benefits from a durable, professionally installed roofing system that enhances both function and appearance.

In addition to the physical improvements, the homeowner gained confidence knowing their home is protected against future weather events with a high-quality roofing system built to last.
