Roof Replacement in Kennesaw, GA
Most Kennesaw replacements have nothing to do with a storm. The median house here was built in 1998, and a very large number of original roofs are arriving at the same point at the same time.
Ask the city, not the county — and ask about your specific system
This is the one thing worth knowing before you accept anybody's quote in Kennesaw. Unincorporated Cobb County publishes an exemption list which reads, word for word, "Only residential standard tab shingle replacement is exempt. Commercial is not exempt." A great many contractors working across Cobb treat that as the answer for the whole county and it is not: Kennesaw issues its own permits through Building Services within Community Development, so a Kennesaw address inside the city limits is not a county address and the county's exemption does not carry. And even where it does carry, read what it actually says — it names standard tab shingle replacement and is silent on a metal panel, a low-slope membrane over a porch, or replacing decking. We ask the city, we ask about your specific system, and we do it before the dumpster is delivered rather than after an inspector has driven past. Kennesaw is also the only town on our list served by two interstates, which is why a job here starts as early as one in Canton despite being half an hour away.
We are not going to tell you how long a roof lasts
You will find a confident number on almost every roofing site in this country — twenty years, twenty-five, thirty. We went looking for an authoritative published service life for asphalt shingles and could not find one we would stand behind, so we are not going to repeat somebody else's. What decides whether your roof needs replacing is its condition, not its birthday: whether the tabs are still sealed, whether the mat is showing, what the penetrations and the flashing look like, and what is under the decking. All of that is visible in forty-five minutes and none of it is guessable from the street.

Common questions
How long does a roof replacement take?
Most residential replacements are one day. Complicated geometry, a steep pitch, or a lot of decking replacement can make it two. We tell you which one yours is before we start, not at four in the afternoon on day one.What actually changes the price?
Squares — the measured area — then pitch, the number of penetrations and valleys, how many layers have to come off, the decking we find underneath, and the system you choose. Access matters too: a house you can back a dump trailer up to is cheaper to strip than one on a long, tight drive.Layover or tear-off?
Tear-off, on our jobs. A layover covers the deck, which means nobody inspects the thing most likely to be the actual problem, and it makes the next replacement a two-layer strip. It is cheaper today and more expensive over the life of the house.
