What a roofer serving 31901 actually does

A residential roofer either performs targeted repair (lifted shingles, popped nails, failed flashing, single-leak diagnosis) or a full tear-off and replacement. A reputable contractor will start with a multi-point inspection: shingle condition (granule loss, curling, cracking), flashing integrity around chimneys/sidewalls/penetrations, ridge and soffit ventilation, attic moisture signs, and decking condition (you don't know about rotten plywood until tear-off). Asphalt shingle is the dominant material in 80% of US homes; metal and tile dominate in storm-prone or arid markets. All re-roofs require a permit and at least one mid-roof inspection by the local AHJ in most jurisdictions, and OSHA 1926.501 requires fall protection for any work at heights above 6 feet — a non-negotiable safety/insurance issue.

Six questions before you hire

  1. Are you a manufacturer-certified installer (GAF Master Elite, Owens Corning Platinum, CertainTeed Select)? Certification is required for the long manufacturer warranties.
  2. What's the workmanship warranty (separate from the manufacturer's shingle warranty), and is it transferable?
  3. How do you handle decking that's rotten under the old shingles — is it a per-sheet add, and what's the unit price?
  4. Will you tear off the old roof completely (single-layer install only), or are you proposing an overlay?
  5. Are ice & water shield, drip edge, and proper underlayment included to current code in my climate zone?
  6. What's the projected weather window, and what happens if a storm hits mid-job?
Door-to-door storm-chaser pitches, "we just did your neighbor's roof" without proof, asking for full payment up front, no permit pulled, or the company refusing to provide its state contractor license number.
