Top 5 Local Roofers Near You (Acworth and Metro Atlanta)

Let's be honest, roofs aren't exactly the rockstars of homeownership. But when the sky opens up (and let's face it, in Georgia, that can happen faster than you can say "Peachtree ice storm"), a sturdy roof becomes your silent superhero, keeping you and your loved ones dry and comfortable. So, when that inevitable leaky nightmare whispers its unwelcome tune, don't just panic-Google "roofer near me" and pick the first option that pops up! In Acworth and the Metro Atlanta area, from Marietta to Alpharetta, finding the right local roofer requires some detective work, and a healthy dose of common sense. Fear not, my fellow Acworthians (not sure if that's what we're called but it sounds legit) and Atlantans! This guide is your compass, unmasking the top 5 secrets to choosing your roofing guardian angel:

1. Experience Rocks:

• A seasoned roofer has seen it all – sun, snow, hailstorms the size of softballs (yup, they happen!). Look for companies with years of tackling projects right here in our neck of the woods. Local knowledge is key, especially when it comes to understanding roofing challenges specific to Acworth and its surrounding cities. Think hail damage in Marietta or steep roof pitches in Roswell? These guys know the drill.

2. Reputation is Gold:

• Don't just take their word for it! Check online reviews and testimonials to see what past customers are saying. Look for consistent praise for quality work, clear communication, and reliable service. Remember, a happy roof, happy home starts with a happy customer! And let's be real, Atlanta deserves nothing less than five-star roofs and five-star service.

3. Licenses and Insurance:

• Peace of Mind in Every Shingle: Make sure your chosen roofer is certified with different shingle manufacturers and insured in the state of Georgia. Most people don't know this, but contractors DO NOT need a "roofing license" in our state; they only need a business license. When you make your decision, it's crucial to utilize steps one and two on this list, as well as making sure your local roofer is insured. This protects you from liability in case of accidents or unexpected issues. Don't let a leaky wallet add to your leaky roof woes! Think of it as your own personal superhero shield against roofing misfortunes.

4. Price Wisely:

• Quality, Not Just Quotation: While tempting, the lowest bid isn't always the best bet. Subpar materials or workmanship can lead to costly repairs down the road, turning those dream savings into nightmare expenses. Look for transparent pricing policies, detailed quotes, and guarantees on materials and labor. Remember, a sturdy roof is an investment, not just a quick fix!

5. Consultation is Key:

• Let's Talk Roof! Schedule consultations with potential roofers. This is your chance to size them up, discuss your specific needs, and get a feel for their professionalism. Don't be afraid to ask questions – a good roofer will be happy to address your concerns and guide you through the process. Think of it as a roofing therapy session, where you get all your worries aired out and leave feeling confident and informed.
• Quick side story- Adam Bensman is a bit of a "roofer celebrity" (if there's such a thing lol) and recently, some of our NBS Roofing consultants got the chance to get an all day training from him thanks Owens Corning! Adam told a parable in that class that we'll call "The Story of Two Different Roofers." The moral of the story is two roofers show up to a homeowners house after being called to provide a roof estimate.

-Roofer One shows up in a big, flashy company-wrapped truck, dressed to the nines, with a fancy brief case, etc. He sat down at the kitchen table with the homeowner and gave them a grade-A presentation, told them all the selling points for the shingles his company would use, and then gave them a visually pleasing quote with all the marketing literature to make someones heart perfectly content, and then goes on his merry way.

-Roofer Two then rolls up in a 1995 Ford F-150 that has more rust than paint on it. He gets out wearing jeans with some tar stains, cougar paws, a company t-shirt, and an old Braves hat. The homeowner asks him if he'd like to come inside to discuss the quote, and Roofer Two says he will, but first wants to take a look at the roof. He grabs his ladder, hops on the roof, and after about 15-20 minutes, comes down and knocks on the door. He then accepts the homeowner's invite to come inside. While sitting at the kitchen table, Roofer Two pulls his phone out and shows the homeowner several photos of his roof, as well as a video he made explaining the condition of the shingles and where a leak may be coming in. He tells the homeowner that the roof may have 2-3 years left, but the trouble spot should be fixed. Roofer Two then gives the homeowner two options:

1-Repair: He explains how he will repair the trouble spot so it will last until the roof is fully replaced, seal up any nail heads and flashing that may need it, add rain collars to the pipe boots, and seal the loose shingles.

2- Full Roof Replacement: He details the products he will use and how they will be installed on the roof, explaining why he trusts the products he's chosen.

Which of these two "roofers" is the real roofer and which is a salesman? Who would you choose?
