85 Roof is a roofing company serving Johns Creek homeowners from our office just across the Chattahoochee River in Duluth. The company was founded in the summer of 2014 with a simple plan: bring integrity and affordability to roofing. Today our crews handle roof replacement, roof repair, storm damage and insurance claims, siding, gutters and decks for families throughout north Fulton and Gwinnett counties.
We are certified installers of GAF roof systems, and we carry general liability and workers’ compensation insurance, with copies provided on request. Every new roof we install is backed by our 10-year workmanship warranty, and when we upgrade a roof to an architectural shingle, the manufacturer adds a lifetime warranty on top of ours. Inspections are free and estimates are no-obligation. Call 678-727-6789 to get started.
Roofing in Johns Creek
Johns Creek sits in north Fulton County along the Chattahoochee River, between the GA-400 corridor to the west and the Gwinnett County line to the east. A large share of the homes here were built in the 1980s, 1990s and 2000s, which puts many original and first-replacement roofs at the age where shingles shed granules, pipe boots crack, and flashing around chimneys and dormers starts to let water in. Homes in this part of north Fulton are often larger two-story designs with several roof planes, valleys and dormers, and that detail work is where a roof is most likely to fail and where a careful installer earns their keep.
Our approach does not change from house to house. Every roof replacement proposal from 85 Roof includes ridge vent, new pipe boots, synthetic underlayment, ice and water shield, and drip edge, which is required by code in Georgia. We recommend GAF products because we are certified to install them and can offer their warranties, but we will install any shingle you choose. Our crew leaders have worked the Atlanta market for more than 20 years, and we are glad to provide customer references.
Storm Damage and Insurance Claims in Johns Creek
Georgia’s spring and summer storm seasons bring hail, straight-line winds and heavy rain, and the mature trees that make these streets so attractive also mean limbs and whole trunks end up on roofs. We have replaced roofs after tree falls in the north metro area, and the process is the same each time: we inspect at no charge, document the damage with photos, tarp the roof if it is open to the weather, and tell you honestly whether what we found looks like a storm loss.
If it does, hail, wind and other storm damage is considered an insurance loss under a homeowner’s policy, and depending on the extent of the evidence, most insurance companies pay the cost of replacing the roof less your deductible. We will help you deal with your insurance company from the first call through the final check, including meeting your adjuster on the roof if you want us there. That is a normal part of our business, and we meet adjusters in the field regularly. We will also tell you when we think a claim is not worth filing, and explain why, so you can make the decision that makes sense for your family.
Frequently Asked Questions
How much does a roof replacement cost in Johns Creek? It depends on the size and pitch of the roof, how many layers have to come off, how much decking needs replacing, and the shingle you choose. We do not quote from the street. We inspect, measure, and give you a written, no-obligation estimate that lists every component so there are no surprises. If storm damage is involved, your insurance may cover most of the cost.
Should I repair my roof or replace it? If the roof still has years of life left and the problem is isolated, such as a cracked pipe boot, a lifted shingle or a flashing leak, a repair is usually the right call. If shingles are losing granules across whole slopes, there are multiple leaks, or the roof is nearing the end of its rated life, replacement is the better investment. Our inspection is free, and we will tell you which one you actually need.
How long does a roof replacement take? Most single-family roof replacements are completed in one to two days, weather permitting. Larger homes with several roof planes, or roofs that need decking repair, can take longer. We give you a schedule before we start and protect your landscaping, driveway and gutters while we work.
Do you help with insurance claims? Yes. Storm damage assessment and insurance claim help is a core part of what we do. We inspect and document the damage, help you file, meet the adjuster if requested, and see the claim through to completion. See our insurance claims page for how the process works.
What warranty comes with a new roof? Every new roof installation from 85 Roof carries our 10-year workmanship warranty. When we upgrade the components of the roof system to an architectural shingle, GAF adds a manufacturer lifetime warranty. We are also fully insured with general liability and workers’ compensation coverage.
