This is the Guyton 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 quoteRidge and soffit ventilation added during a replacement often does more for the roof's service life than upgrading the shingle line. This is where well-installed architectural shingle is usually the right economic answer over metal or tile, because the wind-rating premium buys less. Real estate activity drives a lot of the roofing here — pre-listing inspections, buyer credits, and insurance-driven replacements right after closing.
What it costs in Guyton: 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
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.
No. You need to move cars out of the driveway and take fragile items off walls, but a tear-off and install is an outdoor job. Most single-family homes are done in one to two days.
