85 Roof is a north metro Atlanta roofing company based in Duluth, northeast of the city along I-85. Since the company was founded in the summer of 2014, our crews have handled roof replacement, roof repair, storm damage and insurance claims, siding, gutters and decks for homeowners across the northern suburbs, from the GA-400 corridor in Fulton and Forsyth counties to the I-85 corridor through Gwinnett.
We are certified installers of GAF roof systems. Every new roof carries our 10-year workmanship warranty, and an upgrade to architectural shingles adds the manufacturer’s lifetime warranty. We carry general liability and workers’ compensation insurance, with copies provided on request. Inspections are free and estimates are no-obligation. Call 678-727-6789.
Roofing in Atlanta
Metro Atlanta is a big place, and we are honest about where we work. Our office is at 2376 Buford Hwy NE in Duluth, and the bulk of our jobs are in the suburbs north and northeast of the I-285 perimeter: Alpharetta, Johns Creek, Roswell, Duluth, Suwanee, Buford, Cumming, Flowery Branch and Hamilton Mill, Lawrenceville, Norcross and Peachtree Corners. That is the stretch between GA-400 and I-85 where our crew leaders have served homeowners for more than 20 years, and it is where we can inspect quickly and check on jobs in progress without spending the day in traffic.
The housing across this part of the metro area ranges from older ranch homes near the old town centers to the large waves of subdivisions built in the 1980s, 1990s and 2000s, and on to new construction on the edges of Forsyth and Gwinnett. A great many of those 1990s and 2000s roofs are now at the point where shingles lose their granules, pipe boots crack and flashing fails, which is why roof replacement is the largest part of our business. Whatever the age or size of the house, every 85 Roof replacement proposal 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 shingles because we are certified to install them and can offer their warranties, though we will install any shingle you choose.

Storm Damage and Insurance Claims in Atlanta
The Atlanta area gets hail, straight-line winds and heavy summer thunderstorms every year, and the tree canopy the region is known for means fallen limbs and whole trees on roofs are a regular part of storm season. After a storm we inspect at no charge, photograph every slope, and tarp any opening so the house stays dry. Then we tell you honestly whether what we found is storm damage or ordinary wear, because those lead to very different next steps.
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 help you deal with your insurance company from the first call to the final check, including meeting your adjuster at the house. We meet adjusters in the field regularly, advocate boldly but respectfully, and have built good rapport with them because of it. If the evidence does not support a claim, we will tell you that too, and explain our reasoning, so you can make the decision that is right for your family rather than the one that is right for a contractor.
