GENERAL ROOFING

General Roofing Questions

Signs include missing shingles, leaks, water stains, or visible wear. If your roof is over 15–25 years old, it may be time for a replacement. We recommend scheduling a professional inspection to determine the best solution.

Roof replacement costs vary depending on the size of your home, materials used, and the current condition of your roof. Most projects in the Atlanta area are priced based on these factors. Contact us for a free estimate tailored to your property.

Most residential roof replacements can be completed in 1–3 days, depending on the size and complexity of the project. Commercial projects may take longer depending on scope.

ROOF REPAIR

Roof Repair Questions

We offer fast response times and can often address leaks the same day or within 24 hours to prevent further interior damage. For emergency situations, call us directly at 404-999-ROOF (7663).

Yes, many leaks can be repaired without a full replacement, depending on the extent of the damage. We’ll inspect the affected area and give you an honest recommendation – repair if it makes sense, replacement only if necessary.

Common causes include damaged or missing shingles, failed flashing around chimneys and vents, clogged gutters, and general wear from Atlanta’s heat and summer storm cycles. A professional inspection can identify the exact source.

Most repairs are completed in a few hours to a full day depending on the size and nature of the damage. We aim to complete repairs in a single visit whenever possible.

ROOF REPLACEMENT

Roof Replacement Questions

Replacement is typically the better option when the roof is over 20 years old, has widespread damage across multiple areas, or when repair costs exceed 50% of the replacement cost. We’ll give you an honest assessment during your free inspection.

We install architectural shingles, impact-resistant shingles, and premium designer options for residential roofs, as well as TPO, EPDM, and PVC systems for commercial flat roofs. We’ll recommend the best material for your property, climate, and budget.

For residential replacements, we primarily install Atlas Roofing shingle systems, which carry industry-leading manufacturer warranties.

Yes. We perform complete tear-offs in most cases to properly inspect the decking underneath. This ensures any rotted or damaged decking is replaced before the new system goes on.

Yes. Velocity Roofing provides both workmanship warranties and manufacturer material warranties on all replacement projects. Warranty terms vary by product – we’ll walk you through your coverage before work begins.

EMERGENCY ROOFING

Emergency Roofing Questions

Yes, we provide emergency roofing services to quickly secure your property and minimize damage. Call us directly at 404-999-ROOF (7663) for the fastest response.

Contact a professional roofing contractor immediately. Avoid climbing on the roof yourself, and document any visible damage from the ground or interior if it’s safe to do so. We’ll respond quickly to assess and secure the property.

Yes. Our emergency response includes temporary tarping and weatherproofing to protect your interior until permanent repairs or replacement can be scheduled. This prevents further water damage and mold.

COMMERCIAL ROOFING

Commercial Roofing Questions

Yes, we handle commercial roofing projects including repair, replacement, and full installation. We work with property managers, building owners, developers, and general contractors across the Atlanta metro.

We install TPO, EPDM, PVC, and modified bitumen systems designed for flat and low-slope commercial roofs. Each system is selected based on the building’s performance requirements, budget, and local climate conditions.

All commercial systems are installed to NRCA standards for commercial flat and low-slope roofing.

Yes. We coordinate commercial projects around your schedule and operations. Our team is experienced in managing noise, access, and safety on active commercial properties.

Yes. We offer ongoing maintenance and inspection programs for commercial property owners and managers with single or multiple locations. Regular maintenance extends roof life and prevents costly emergency repairs.

INSURANCE & CLAIMS

Insurance & Claims Questions

Yes, we assist homeowners with the insurance claims process and help document roof damage. We can meet with your adjuster on-site and provide the documentation needed to support your claim.

Coverage depends on the cause of damage and your specific policy. Storm, hail, and wind damage are typically covered. Wear-and-tear or neglect usually are not. We recommend contacting your insurer and scheduling a professional inspection so you have documentation before filing.

According to the Insurance Information Institute, wind and hail are among the leading homeowner insurance claims in the Southeast.

Your insurer will typically need photos of the damage, a professional damage assessment, and a repair or replacement estimate. We provide detailed documentation with every inspection to make the claims process as straightforward as possible.

If you have questions about your policy rights, the Georgia Office of the Commissioner of Insurance provides homeowner resources and complaint filing.

Timelines vary by insurer, but most claims are processed within a few weeks of the adjuster inspection. We work directly with adjusters when needed and keep you informed throughout the process.
