Insurance-Funded Asphalt Roof Replacement for Wind Damage in Suwanee, GA

A residential property in Suwanee, GA required a full roofing system replacement after sustaining wind damage. The homeowner filed a claim with State Farm, which confirmed the loss and approved restoration based on a detailed inspection. With an aging architectural shingle roof and prior leaks already present, the project called for a comprehensive, insurance-backed roofing solution to restore both performance and peace of mind.

Project At-a-Glance

• Roof Size: 90 squares
• Shingle Brand: Owens Corning (Black Sable)
• Insurance Provider: State Farm
• Location: Suwanee, GA

Challenge: Wind Damage and Existing Leaks on a Large, Complex Roof

The property experienced wind-related damage, as confirmed in the insurance scope, which led to compromised shingles and vulnerabilities across the roofing system. In addition to storm damage, the roof already had prior leak issues, increasing the urgency for a full replacement rather than isolated repairs.

The roof’s complexity added another layer of difficulty. With steep slopes (up to 10/12–12/12 pitch) and a multi-faceted layout shown in the EagleView report, the project required careful planning for safety, material handling, and installation precision. The home was also located in a gated HOA community, requiring coordination for access and permitting.

Solution: Full System Replacement with Enhanced Ventilation and Protection

To ensure long-term durability and code-compliant restoration, a complete tear-off and replacement of the roofing system was performed using high-quality materials and strategic installation methods.

• Full removal of existing architectural shingles (1 layer) to expose the decking
• Replacement of damaged decking (5 sheets) to ensure a solid foundation
• Installation of synthetic underlayment for enhanced moisture protection
• Application of Owens Corning architectural shingles in Black Sable for durability and curb appeal
• Installation of ridge vent ventilation system to improve airflow and extend roof life
• Replacement of pipe boots, drip edge, and flashing components for a watertight seal
• Detach and reset of satellite equipment to maintain functionality
• Comprehensive site protection, including 360° landscaping protection and controlled material staging

Special care was taken to manage steep slopes and a two-story structure, ensuring safe installation while maintaining efficiency. Coordination with HOA requirements and pest control systems was also handled to prevent delays.

Result: Durable, Weather-Resistant Roofing System with Improved Performance

The completed roofing system provides significantly improved protection against future wind and weather events. With upgraded materials and proper ventilation, the home now benefits from better moisture control, increased energy efficiency, and extended roof lifespan.

Beyond the technical improvements, the homeowner gained confidence knowing the project was fully aligned with insurance requirements and completed to a high standard. The new roof not only enhances structural reliability but also elevates the home’s overall appearance and value in the Suwanee, GA community.

Trust & Proof: Insurance Alignment and High-Quality Installation Standards

This project was backed by a State Farm insurance claim for wind damage, ensuring all work met documented scope and restoration requirements. Measurements were validated using EagleView reporting, confirming a roof size of approximately 90 squares and a complex structural layout.

The installation included a 5-year workmanship warranty, providing added assurance against labor-related issues. High-quality Owens Corning materials and proper ventilation design further reinforce long-term performance.

The combination of insurance coordination, precise measurements, and professional installation ensures this roofing system is built to protect the home for years to come.
