Why Georgia roofing is different
Climate, code, and insurance expectations in Georgia shape material choices and labor scope beyond national averages.
Humidity & ventilation
Poor attic airflow accelerates shingle aging — ridge vents and baffles are frequent add-ons.
Storm & tree damage
Spring hail and falling limbs drive emergency replacements; document damage for insurance when applicable.
