Roof Replacement in Holly Springs, GA
This is the page where we talk you out of it more often than into it. Holly Springs has the newest housing stock of any town on our list, and the honest answer to "do I need a new roof" here is usually no.
The median house here was built in 2009, and that changes the answer
Only 3.8% of Holly Springs housing predates 1980, better than a third of it went up between 2010 and 2019, and the median year built is 2009. No other town we work in is close, and it means the typical call we take here is not a replacement call — it is a homeowner who has been told by somebody at the door that the whole street needs one. What we usually find on stock this age is that the field of the roof is entirely serviceable and the failures are at the penetrations: pipe boots whose collars have split, a kitchen or bath vent flashing that was never sealed properly, and the occasional valley that the original crew closed rather than wove or cut cleanly. Those are repairs, they cost a fraction of a replacement, and telling you so costs us the job. We would still rather do that than sell a fifteen-year-old roof a replacement it does not need, because the ten-year warranty we would hand you is a document we have to honor and the referral we would not get is worth more than the invoice.
We are not going to tell you how long a roof lasts
You will find a confident number on almost every roofing site in this country — twenty years, twenty-five, thirty. We went looking for an authoritative published service life for asphalt shingles and could not find one we would stand behind, so we are not going to repeat somebody else's. What decides whether your roof needs replacing is its condition, not its birthday: whether the tabs are still sealed, whether the mat is showing, what the penetrations and the flashing look like, and what is under the decking. All of that is visible in forty-five minutes and none of it is guessable from the street.

Common questions
How long does a roof replacement take?
Most residential replacements are one day. Complicated geometry, a steep pitch, or a lot of decking replacement can make it two. We tell you which one yours is before we start, not at four in the afternoon on day one.What actually changes the price?
Squares — the measured area — then pitch, the number of penetrations and valleys, how many layers have to come off, the decking we find underneath, and the system you choose. Access matters too: a house you can back a dump trailer up to is cheaper to strip than one on a long, tight drive.Layover or tear-off?
Tear-off, on our jobs. A layover covers the deck, which means nobody inspects the thing most likely to be the actual problem, and it makes the next replacement a two-layer strip. It is cheaper today and more expensive over the life of the house.
