This is the Kennesaw page for roof replacement. The short version: you want a firm number for a new roof without a sales visit, and you can have it without a salesperson at the door.
Get a written quoteHail season runs March through June with a fall echo, and the claim-filing window is measured from the storm date, so keep the date of every event that hit your street. Test-square counts before the adjuster arrives are what win reinspections — eight or more strikes per hundred square feet is the threshold most carriers use. Builder-grade ridge vents and starter strips are the early failure points on these roofs, and often it's a repair rather than a replacement.
What it costs in Kennesaw: a full replacement on a typical single-family home runs from the low five figures for architectural shingle to several times that for standing-seam metal or concrete tile — the pitch, number of layers coming off, and decking condition move the number more than square footage does.
Georgia doesn't issue a roofing-specific license — most roofing falls under the state's Residential-Basic or General Contractor license once a job crosses the state's licensing threshold. We check that license, insurance, and standing with the state board before a roofer ever sees a lead.
How it works
Usually, and sometimes dramatically. Ask the quote to include the documentation your carrier needs — in Florida that's a wind mitigation form, in Texas it's the impact-rated shingle certification.
Aerial measurement gives square footage, pitch, facets, and ridge/valley/eave lengths to within a couple percent. A roofer still confirms decking and flashing details on install day, and the quote states what would change the price and by how much.

Kennesaw is inside the everyday service radius, so there's no travel surcharge and no "we'll be in the area next month."
