"Due to a significant hailstorm, we found ourselves in need of a new roof. This was our first roofing experience and we interviewed, and received bids from, a number of roofing companies before deciding on the Atlanta Metro Roofing (AMR) Company. Making our decision to go with AMR was easy thanks to Shari and Tom Zippay. They are true professionals in the roofing business and demonstrated impeccable honesty, transparency, integrity, and commitment to us. Our initial conversation with Shari showed her complete understanding and knowledge of the field. Of the companies we spoke to, Shari was the only person to devote a great amount of time guiding us through the process, providing instructions in dealing with insurance claims, insurance adjusters, expectations, and every aspect of the process. We had a specialty roof requiring a considerable amount of time and effort to replace due to its unique characteristics. Shari, Tom, and their outstanding team of experts demonstrated incredible patience, commitment, and time in ensuring our needs were met 100%. We have learned through our experience that the roofing business is different with each customer. For us, it was because of our unique roof and an unexpected storm that resulted in a fallen tree limb hitting our roof during installation. This didn’t phase Shari and Tom; they were immediately on the scene and repaired all while finishing the install of our entire roof. If you wish to do business with a reputable, honest, and dedicated roofing company which treats your home as if is their own, then call AMR. You will not be disappointed and you will receive the best service in the industry. Whatever your particular needs may be, Shari and Tom will ensure your roof will be perfect!"

"<p>Bryan was very thorough thoroughly discusses the details of the products he uses.  As an engineer, I had more questions than most, and if there's one word for Bryan, it's honest.  He levels with you and answers all that he can even beyond the roof system, and if he can't, assures you he'll find the answer or have an expert reach out to you fast.  For our house, I was exploring using foam insulation on the decking.  He put me in touch with someone to discuss it, and ALSO, presented me with the idea of a solar powered attic fan.  After talking to 5 different roofing contractors, besides his persistence, and honesty, his stepping outside the box to present me with a cutting edge solution got him the job.</p> <p><br /></p> <p>As promised, the wind damage he found on the roof resulted in my insurance company covering the entire project (sans deductible of course).  Being late fall, he assured me they could act fast when the weather was right.  The forecast showed a window in 2 days when wind died down, the temp warmed up to 60, and no rain expected.  He got it done.  Shingles ordered, all supplies delivered, and team showed up like clockwork at sunrise as promised.  They got right to work with tarps (some holes) covering the property and removed the old roof.  Then after a quick lunch, began the new roof.</p> <p>One hiccup here, Bryan and I agreed to have ridge vents on all ridges, but only to cut openings for some of the ridge line as the solar attic fan would vent the uncut ridges.  A language barrier due to a last minute death in the family of his foreman meant all ridges were cut.  Bryan showed up and explained to them where they had gone wrong, and they patched the gaps with plywood and proceeded.</p> <p>Another hiccup then, equipment failure, the team's shingle elevator broke.  He appraised the situation and as it turns out, the only option was to walk the shingles up the ladder on their backs, old school.  Amazing to watch, but of course, daylight ran out with the unexpected elevator down.  They cleaned up, took a picture of the remaining supplies, and showed up first thing next morning and finished the job.  Make sure for peace of mind to borrow the rare earth magnets they use to check for nails.  Yes, I found nails, as happens on every roof project.  They waited patiently while I went over my property with the magnet and felt great as they left.</p> <p>The solar fan was installed a few weeks later and wired up.  We may have to wait until warmer weather for all shingles to completely seal, but I have every confidence Bryan will be there at a moment's notice to answer/address any issues that come up.  I do recommend his services.</p>"

"Russ and his crew recently replaced our entire roof. Russ walked us through the process of proper roof installation, answering every question and providing us with all the information we needed to make informed decisions. Because we had multiple issues and leaking with our old roof, Russ fit us in rather quickly. His crew was knowledgeable, prompt, and professional. Even the cleanup afterward was great. They finished our roof just in time for the remnants of Hurricane Zeta and the new roof came through with flying colors. We highly recommend Perfection Roofing, and in fact have already given his number to two of our neighbors."

"Our roof is only a few years old, but the company that installed it has gone out of business.  So when our roof started leaking we looked on Angie's list to find someone who could fix it.  Doug from Lanier roofing called us back and came out to give us an estimate the very same day we initially called. He told us that they have an $850 minimum for jobs so most likely the work would be cheaper than that, but he was still willing to give us an estimate.  He spent time in our attic and outside inspecting the roof.  Told us what he suspected the problem was and that it would be much less than the $850 minimum they require. So although we did not use their services because the job was too small, we were impressed with their customer service and would consider them in the future.  Doug even called us back later to mention one other possibility that might be causing the leak.  We were impressed that he did this even though he knew we wouldn't be using their company this time. <br /> <br />"

"Excellent work replacing old roof with leaks and lot of damaged boards. Explained the process and answered all questions I have about ventilation, long term durability, roofing layers, edging, waterproofing etc. Hand nailed new shingles and installed the roofing system per GAF elite contractor requirements. They stand behind their work backed by a solid written GAF warranty. All this for a very good price."

"Outstanding professionalism and responsiveness! I would have to call Finley's a "well-oiled roofing machine"! Our materials choices, the job process and our Warranty (the best in the business) were thoroughly explained before-hand. From "tarping" to dumpster delivery and pick-up, delivery of roofing material(s), protecting our shrubs and flower beds, fast well-coordinated demo/roofing crew, extraordinary clean-up... it was equally what they did and the way they did it. The crew was punctual, careful, respectful and efficient. Finley's worked with us and our insurance carrier to provide a top-of-the-line roof and their estimate matched the final bill to the penny. We could not be happier. Start to finish this has been our best contractor experience ever."

"The team at True Quality Roofing really are a professional group of guys. They were in my neighborhood replacing one of my neighbors roofs and I stopped and was able to speak to Bryan. Bryan came out to inspect my roof and was quick to determine the problem. He was easy to communicate with and responded in a timely manner. He took his time inspecting the roof and was very knowledgeable. The guys came out, replaced our roof, and were a very professional crew. They were extremely helpful and I would definitely recommend them. I will use them again!"

"We needed a new roof and after exhaustive research I chose Georgia Roof Advisors and our sales person was Jaymes Caldwell, To say I was impress would be an understatement! Ga In Georgia anyone can become a roofer you just need to get a business license! BUT less than 1% of the roofer in the nation can be a GAF Master Elite roofer Ga Roof Advisors is A+ Rated with the Better Business Bureau with 11 years in business! Not like many companies that tell you things like 10-30 years or more (By saying combined experience but that’s not the length of time the business has been around) Then the BBB shows them with a year or 2 and they aren’t even rated IE NR from the BBB GA Roof Advisors had a 4.9 rating from 89 reviews on one site and a 4.9 out of 171 reviews on another site. But what stood out was our sales person Jaymes! He took the time to explain how important it is to have a company that is Master Elite Certified and how hard it is to receive that certification. How Lots of roofers say they are Certified by a company but that doesn’t mean that they can offer the Level of warranty like we received. James Explained that the Golden Pledge Ltd Warranty from GAF was far and above the rest and here is a few things that stuck our in our minds: • 25 Year Labor Warranty (even if the installing company is no longer in business) This may not sound like much but I’m sure you have invested in buying something that when you needed the warranty the company that sold it is not around anymore. • Lifetime warranty on our shingles • 10 years that we won’t have the Algae stains on the roof • No Maximum Speed limitation on wind damage to our roof for 15 years! • That 1/3 of the Roofs installed by a GAF Master Elite contractor will be checked by GAF to ensure that they are properly installed. • He had their Liability and Workmen’s Companies Insurance policy send from the insurance company to us with our name on it not just some blanket insurance document. He had this sent to us BEFORE they started work so we new that we were covered. He showed us how their insurance policy didn’t have the Owner and Officer Exclusion box checked (which means if something happens there may be no coverage) • Deductible we asked could they wave the deductible and they said that that is against the law in GA for a Roofer to adjust the bill or not collect the deductible and how both the roofing company and homeowner can get in trouble for this. He did however tell me that GAF has a $250 Rebate for Veterans! • He explained that due to our roof being installed before 2014 that we didn’t have a drip edge which is now required by GA Law and our Insurance company will pay for that and how important it was to keep things like Pesky Squirrels and Rats etc. out of our Attic. • He told us that he would be here when our insurance company came out to inspect our roof to ensure that they would see the damage we actually have vs maybe not getting the coverage we should receive. • He went over all of our options on our shingles as well as the advantages of getting a Ridge Vent installed. • Jaymes also explained the 8 steps to getting a roof replaced and how they addressed all 8 of them on every roof that they replace. • What really surprised me was he looked in our attic and saw that we had something called Tech Shield that was attached to our roofing boards that helps reduce our energy usage and if not replaced with the same type board could affect our A/Cs ability to cool our home and our energy usage. • Jaymes worked with our insurance company to make sure that they properly paid for the damage caused by our roof leak that included ceiling repairs and having to move our items in 2 rooms into a storage container and all this was covered by the insurance. Prior to installation the owner of the company James Gadson came out to review what we were going to do and be sure that we had all of our questions answered. The day of installation was wonderful the workers were very respectful and friendly. GA Roof Advisors had a Job Superintendent onsite to ensure all went well. After Installation Jaymes was there for us to ensure all of our expectations were met Bottom line I strongly suggest to use GA Roof Advisors and if Jaymes is your sales person then you are indeed fortunate. In closing I saw another company put roofs on our neighbors’ home, and after seeing what Ga Roof Advisors did with our roof I was surprised to see the steps that the other company didn’t do!"

FAQs for roofing installation & roof repair projects in Buford, GA

An average Cape Cod roof-raising project requires approximately two to three months from start to finish. The timeline depends on several variables, including weather conditions, contractor availability, material delivery schedules, and the specific complexity of your home's structure. The process involves multiple phases, including demolition, framing, roofing, window installation, and interior finishing. Working with an experienced contractor who provides a detailed timeline can help set realistic expectations for the project duration.

While most Cape Cod homes can accommodate roof-raising modifications, each house requires individual structural assessment. Older homes may need foundation reinforcement or wall strengthening before supporting additional weight. Factors like the existing roof framing system, load-bearing wall placement, and overall structural integrity all influence feasibility. A qualified structural engineer should evaluate your specific property before proceeding with design plans. Additionally, local zoning ordinances may restrict maximum building height or architectural modifications in certain neighborhoods.

Temporary relocation is highly recommended during a Cape Cod roof raising project. The construction process involves removing portions of your existing roof, exposing interior spaces to potential weather damage, and creating significant noise and dust. Most homeowners find temporary accommodations for the two to three-month construction period, with relocation costs ranging from $2,000 to $6,000, depending on your housing choices. If staying with family or friends isn't possible, budget for short-term rental or extended-stay hotel expenses as part of your overall project cost.

Consider roof raising when you experience severely limited headroom throughout the second floor, find yourself constantly stooping under sloped ceilings, or have minimal usable floor space due to low ceiling heights. Other indicators include inadequate natural light, poor ventilation, and difficulty accommodating standard furniture in upstairs rooms. Simple renovations can improve an attic's appearance, but cannot create additional headroom without structural modifications. A complete roof-raising project makes more sense than cosmetic renovations if you're seeking genuine second-floor living space rather than just storage improvements.

Begin your search by seeking contractors with specific experience in Cape Cod structural modifications and dormer additions. Request detailed portfolios showing similar completed projects and ask for references from previous clients with comparable work. Verify that potential contractors hold appropriate licenses and insurance coverage and understand local building codes relevant to roof raising. Interview multiple candidates, comparing price quotes and their communication style, project approach, and proposed timeline. The ideal contractor should demonstrate a thorough understanding of Cape Cod architectural characteristics and structural requirements.
