Project At-a-Glance

• Roof size: ~6,400 sq ft (about 65 squares, rounded)
• Shingle brand/color: Owens Corning TruDefinition® Duration® — Onyx Black (homeowner selection)
• Warranty: Roofserv 5-year workmanship (company warranty)
• Insurer: Farmers (homeowner provided)
• City: Alpharetta, GA

Challenge: Steep, high roof with storm damage and complex details

Wind lifted and damaged shingles across multiple slopes, and the roof geometry included steep 10/12–12/12 sections and high two-story elevations. That combination required added safety measures, careful staging for tear-off, and precise sequencing around hips, ridges, and valleys.

Solution: Complete tear-off, upgraded OC system, and code-required edges

We completed a full one-layer tear-off and installed a new architectural shingle roofing system tailored to the home. The build included balanced ventilation with a continuous ridge vent, fresh flashings at all penetrations, and code-required drip edge around the entire perimeter. Steep-slope and high-roof work were planned with additional fall protection and material handling to keep the site clean and safe. Key components were measured directly from the scope to ensure accuracy.

• Installed continuous ridge vent along the main ridges (~50 LF, rounded from 48.61 LF).
• Replaced hip and ridge with new caps (~205 LF, rounded from 204.39 LF).
• Added black drip edge at eaves and rakes (~525 LF, code item).
• Replaced pipe boots (three) and refreshed accessory vents as specified.
• Managed steep 10/12–12/12 and high-roof conditions with additional access and safety measures.
• Addressed detailed metal work at valleys and step flashing to ensure watertight transitions.

Result: Durable protection and a clean, modern look for the Alpharetta home

The new Owens Corning architectural shingle system provides stronger wind protection, watertight performance, and balanced attic airflow—critical for the home’s steep geometry in Alpharetta. With updated metal edges and fresh flashings at every penetration, the homeowner gained day-to-day peace of mind, plus renewed curb appeal from the Onyx Black color.

Trust & Proof: Documented measurements and workmanship warranty

All quantities—squares, ridge length, and perimeter—were verified from the insurance scope and roofing report to guide production accurately. The project is supported by Roofserv’s 5-year workmanship warranty for added confidence after the storm.
