Architectural Shingle Roof Replacement After Hail Damage in Dunwoody, GA

A single-family residence in Dunwoody, GA sustained hail damage that required a full roof replacement through the homeowner’s insurance. The project was approved as a hail loss, and we partnered with the property owner’s insurer to restore the roofing system and improve ventilation for long-term performance.

Project At-a-Glance

• Roof size: ~5,210 sq ft (about 52 squares), two-story with multiple steep slopes.
• Shingle brand & color: Owens Corning TruDefinition® Duration® – Onyx Black.
• Insurer: Farmers Insurance.
• City: Dunwoody, GA

Challenge: Restore a hail-damaged roof and correct ventilation on a tall, steep structure

The home’s roof sustained hail impact requiring a full tear-off and replacement. The structure includes steep 7/12–12/12 slopes and two-story elevations, which added safety and logistics complexity for removal and installation.

Ventilation also needed improvement. A small ridge vent section on an upper slope was slated for removal and replacement with a solar power vent to help the roofing system breathe correctly. The property featured new fencing and manicured flower beds that required careful protection during construction.

Solution: Premium shingles, upgraded airflow, and meticulous site protection

We executed a full tear-off of the existing roof and installed a new architectural shingle system designed for durability and curb appeal in Dunwoody neighborhoods. Owens Corning TruDefinition® Duration® shingles in Onyx Black were selected, paired with matching accessories and a comprehensive manufacturer-backed warranty package. Ridge ventilation and powered ventilation were balanced to improve attic airflow, including the planned solar power vent on the upper right roof section.

• Removed one layer of existing roofing and managed debris with driveway staging to protect access points.
• Replaced damaged decking sheets as needed (up to four) before the new system went on.
• Installed new underlayment, drip edge in black, and four new pipe boots for watertight penetrations.
• Balanced ventilation with continuous ridge venting and power venting; removed the small ridge vent section and added a solar power vent in its place.
• Carefully protected the property’s new perimeter fence and landscaped flower beds with tarps and controlled material placement; satellite dish was detached and reset with the roofing work.

Result: A resilient, better-ventilated roof and renewed peace of mind

The Dunwoody, GA home now has a high-performance architectural shingle system with upgraded airflow to help regulate attic temperatures and extend shingle life. The new roof enhances curb appeal while improving weather resistance against future storms common to the area. The homeowner gained practical benefits—stronger water shedding, fresh flashings/boots, and balanced ventilation—along with the emotional reassurance of a clean, warrantied install completed with care around landscaping and property features.
