Answers to the most common roofing questions from Atlanta homeowners and property managers. If you don’t see your question here, call us at 404.875.6222 — we’re happy to help.

How do I know if I need a roof replacement or just a repair?

If your roof is under 15 years old and the damage is isolated to one area, a repair may be sufficient. If your roof is 20+ years old, has widespread shingle deterioration, multiple leak points, or significant storm damage, replacement is usually the better investment. LB Roofing offers free inspections to give you an honest assessment — we’ll never recommend a replacement you don’t need.

How long does a roof replacement take?

Most residential roof replacements in Atlanta take one day. Larger or more complex roofs may take two days. We have materials delivered the night before and our crew works efficiently to minimize disruption to your household. We clean up completely before we leave.

How much does a new roof cost in Atlanta?

Residential roof replacements in Atlanta typically range from $8,500 to $28,000 depending on the size of the home, roofing material chosen, and complexity of the roof. Commercial roofing projects vary widely by building size and roofing system. LB Roofing provides free, detailed written estimates with no obligation.

What roofing materials do you recommend for Atlanta’s climate?

For Atlanta’s combination of heat, humidity, and occasional severe storms, we recommend architectural shingles (30-year minimum) from manufacturers like Owens Corning or CertainTeed. These provide excellent wind resistance, durability, and value. We’re an Owens Corning Preferred Contractor and a CertainTeed Master Shingle Applicator — meaning we’re certified to install their best products.

Do you offer financing?

Yes. We work with several financing partners to help homeowners and property owners manage the cost of roofing projects. Ask us about current financing options when you schedule your free estimate.

What warranty do you offer?

LB Roofing provides a 5-year workmanship warranty on all roofing installations — double the industry standard of 2 years. This covers any installation-related issues. Additionally, the roofing materials themselves carry manufacturer warranties of 30 years to lifetime depending on the product chosen.

Does insurance cover roof replacement in Atlanta?

In most cases, yes — if the damage was caused by a storm event (hail, wind, fallen trees). Homeowner’s insurance typically covers the cost of roof replacement when storm damage is the cause. LB Roofing has handled thousands of insurance claims since 2008 and can help you navigate the process, including meeting with your insurance adjuster on-site.

How do I know if my roof has hail damage?

Hail damage is often invisible from the ground. Signs include dented gutters and downspouts, damaged window screens, and bruised or cracked shingles on the roof surface. After any hail storm in the Atlanta area, call LB Roofing for a free inspection — we document all damage thoroughly for insurance purposes.

How does the insurance claim process work for roof damage?

After a storm, here’s the process: (1) Call LB Roofing for a free inspection. We document all damage with photos and a detailed report. (2) You file a claim with your insurance company. (3) An insurance adjuster comes to inspect — we meet them on-site to make sure all damage is properly documented. (4) Once approved, we schedule the replacement. (5) You don’t pay us until the job is complete.

What if my insurance claim is denied?

If your claim is denied, we can help you understand why and assist with the appeals process. We have extensive experience with insurance adjusters and know how to document damage effectively. In some cases, a public adjuster may also be able to help.

What types of commercial roofing systems do you install?

LB Roofing installs and repairs all commercial roofing systems including TPO, EPDM, modified bitumen, built-up roofing (BUR), metal roofing, and roof coatings. We’re a one-stop shop for property managers — no runaround, no subcontracting the work we don’t specialize in.

Do you offer roof maintenance contracts for property managers?

Yes — LB Roofing offers the Roof Care Program, a maintenance contract designed specifically for property managers and building owners. Plans start at $299/year per building and include scheduled inspections, written reports with photos, priority service scheduling, and discounts on repair work. Contact us to discuss a multi-building plan.

How quickly can you respond to an emergency commercial roof repair?

We offer 24-hour emergency response for commercial clients on our Standard plan and same-day response for Premium plan members. For non-contract commercial clients, we prioritize emergency calls and typically respond within 24-48 hours.
