Housing spans a century of construction, so the right answer changes street by street: re-deck on an older home, straightforward replacement in a newer subdivision.
What it costs in Atlanta: uses your regular flat deductible, which is why many Florida homeowners with real damage from a tropical storm or squall line come out much better than under the hurricane deductible.
Georgia has no law banning assignment-of-benefits agreements the way Florida does, so read anything a roofer asks you to sign before a claim is filed — you can get an inspection and file a claim without signing away control of it.

Georgia has no law banning assignment-of-benefits agreements the way Florida does, so read anything a roofer asks you to sign before a claim is filed — you can get an inspection and file a claim without signing away control of it. Atlanta is inside the everyday service radius, so there's no travel surcharge and no "we'll be in the area next month."
