Problem: Hail Damage on a Complex Roof System

The homeowner discovered hail damage after a severe storm moved through Pendergrass. The architectural shingles had been impacted, and an insurance inspection confirmed that a full roof replacement was necessary. The property featured steep-slope sections, high elevations, and multiple valleys and ridges that added complexity to the job.

Beyond the roofing materials, the existing gutter system was outdated and needed replacement to handle drainage properly. The project also required careful coordination around landscaping and a backyard Starlink antenna to avoid damage during installation.

Solution: Complete Roof and Gutter System Installation

RoofServ tore off the damaged shingles and inspected the decking, replacing two sheets where needed. The team installed synthetic felt underlayment across the entire roof, followed by Owens Corning architectural shingles in Onyx Black for a bold, uniform appearance.

Ridge vents were installed to improve attic ventilation and reduce heat buildup. Drip edge, valley metal, and updated flashing components were added to meet current building codes and strengthen weather resistance. Pipe jack flashings were replaced to prevent future leaks around roof penetrations.

The gutter guards were detached and reset, and aluminum gutters and downspouts were replaced on multiple elevations to improve water flow away from the foundation. The crew used specialized safety equipment for steep-slope areas and staged materials in the driveway to minimize disruption.

Result: Enhanced Storm Protection and Drainage Performance

The new roof transformed the home’s appearance with sleek Onyx Black shingles and improved its ability to withstand Georgia’s severe weather. The upgraded ventilation and moisture barriers help protect the roof deck and attic from heat and humidity damage over time.

With new gutters and downspouts in place, water now drains efficiently away from the home. The homeowner gained peace of mind knowing the roof is backed by RoofServ’s Premium Warranty and built to last for decades.
