What affects the price

When you start looking at a new roof, the final number depends on a few specific things. The total surface area is the biggest factor, but the steepness of your roof and how many stories your house has will change the labor intensity. We also look at the current material—stripping off old layers adds to the disposal fees. Choosing between asphalt shingles, metal, or tile shifts the budget significantly. Finally, if we find damaged decking underneath once the old roof is off, that needs replacement to ensure a solid structure. Exact pricing confirmed free on the call.

About this service

Roofing tar is a thick, viscous sealant used to patch holes, fill gaps, or seal around flashing points like chimneys and vents. It is typically used for emergency repairs or as an adhesive for flat roofing layers. If you notice a small leak, tar can provide a quick, temporary fix until a more permanent solution can be applied. However, it is not a substitute for proper roof replacement and should only be used to manage specific small-scale vulnerabilities.

Frequently asked in Atlanta

What types of roofing nails are used?

The most common roofing nails are galvanized steel nails, typically 1-1/4 inch to 1-3/4 inch in length. These nails are designed with a wide head to hold roofing materials securely without tearing them. For asphalt shingles, specific roofing nails are used to ensure they are properly fastened to the roof deck. The crew that comes out will use the correct type and size of nail for your specific roofing material to ensure a secure and lasting installation.

When should I consider roof sealant?

Roof sealant is typically used for small repairs, such as sealing around flashing, vents, or minor cracks in shingles. It can help prevent water intrusion in specific problem areas. However, it's not a substitute for a full roof replacement if the roof is old or significantly damaged. For larger issues or preventative maintenance in Atlanta, a professional assessment is best. They can determine if sealant is the appropriate solution or if more extensive work is needed.

Is rubber roofing suitable for Atlanta homes?

Rubber roofing, often in the form of EPDM (ethylene propylene diene terpolymer), is a durable and flexible material suitable for flat or low-sloped roofs. It offers good resistance to UV rays and extreme temperatures, making it a viable option for certain applications in Atlanta. While less common on traditional pitched roofs, it's excellent for additions, garages, or commercial buildings. The pros can assess if rubber roofing is the right fit for your specific property needs.
