Roof Replacement in Atlanta & North Georgia
A new roof is a big decision. We give you a straight answer on whether you need one, a written estimate, and a crew that cleans up before they leave.
Know what to look for
Signs it's time to replace your roof
One worn spot usually means a repair. When these show up together, or across the whole roof, it's time to talk about replacement.
Heavy granule loss
Gritty granules piling up in your gutters and downspouts means the shingles are wearing thin.
Leaks in different spots
A leak gets fixed, then another shows up somewhere else. Repeated leaks point to a roof that's worn out overall.
Soft or sagging decking
A spongy feel underfoot or a visible dip in the roofline can mean the wood under the shingles has taken on water.
Near the end of its expected life
20-25 yrsArchitectural shingles in Georgia commonly last about 20 to 25 years. Heat, humidity, poor attic ventilation and storm history all shorten that.
Built from the deck up
What's included in a Tatum's Roofing replacement

No pressure, just the facts
Repair or replace?
Not every problem needs a whole new roof. Here's how we think about it when we look at yours.
A repair makes sense when
The problem is contained
- Damage is limited to one area
- The roof is relatively young
- The decking underneath is sound
See our roof repair service.
Replacement makes sense when
The whole roof is the problem
- Problems are spread across the roof
- It's near the end of its expected life
- You keep paying for repair after repair

Paying for a new roof
A replacement doesn't have to come out of savings all at once. Financing is available for roofing and gutter work [CONFIRM: financing partner, terms and example monthly payments].
How much does a roof replacement cost in Atlanta?
It depends on roof size, pitch, layers to remove, decking repairs and the shingle line. We give you a written estimate after a free inspection [CONFIRM: whether to publish a typical price range].
How long does a replacement take?
[CONFIRM: typical install time]
Do I need to be home?
Not for the whole day. We'll walk the property with you before and after.
Will a new roof be covered by a warranty?
Yes, the manufacturer's shingle warranty plus our workmanship warranty [CONFIRM: workmanship warranty length and GAF warranty options].
Can insurance pay for my replacement?
