85 Roof is a roofing company serving Milton homeowners from our office in Duluth, a short drive down GA-400 and across the north Fulton line. Since 2014 our crews have handled roof replacement, roof repair, storm damage and insurance claims, metal roofing, siding, gutters and decks for families across north Fulton, and the larger homes and bigger lots of Milton are the kind of work our crew leaders do best.
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 or designer 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 Milton
Milton sits at the top of Fulton County, north of Alpharetta and west of GA-400, stretching from Crabapple and the Birmingham Highway corridor out to the horse farms and estate lots toward Cherokee and Forsyth counties. The homes here run larger than most of the metro area: two- and three-story designs on wooded acreage, stone and brick exteriors, steep pitches, and rooflines with multiple hips, valleys, dormers and chimneys. That detail work is where a roof either lasts or leaks, and it is where a careful installer matters most.
Milton homeowners also ask for more from the roof itself. Many choose designer or premium architectural shingles that suit a stone or brick home, and a growing number choose standing seam metal roofing for its clean lines and long life. We install both, and we bring samples to the house so you can see the color against your stone, brick and trim before you decide. The photo at the top of this page is a designer shingle roof we completed on a stone home here in Milton.
Our approach does not change with the size of the 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 tear off to the decking every time, replace anything soft, and build the roof system back from the wood up. 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 Milton
The tree cover that makes Milton beautiful is also the reason so many roofs here take damage. Spring and summer storms bring hail, straight-line winds and falling limbs, and on a wooded lot a single storm can put a hardwood through the roof. When that happens, we inspect at no charge, photograph every slope, tarp any opening so the house stays dry, and tell you honestly whether what we found looks like a storm loss or ordinary wear.
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. On a large Milton home that is a significant claim, and the documentation has to be right. We document the damage, give you the photos, measurements and estimate your claim needs, and meet your adjuster on the roof if you want us there to point out what we found. Georgia law keeps the claim in your name, so you deal with your insurer directly, with our documentation in hand. If we think a claim is not worth filing, we will tell you that too, and explain why.
Frequently Asked Questions
How much does a roof replacement cost in Milton? It depends on the size and pitch of the roof, how many planes and valleys it has, how much decking needs replacing, and the shingle or metal panel you choose. Larger Milton homes with complex rooflines take more material and more labor than a simple ranch. We inspect, measure, and give you a written, no-obligation estimate that lists every component. If storm damage is involved, your insurance may cover most of the cost.
Do you install designer shingles and metal roofs? Yes. We install GAF designer and premium architectural shingles, and both standing seam and exposed-fastener metal roofing. We will show you samples and explain the trade-offs so the roof fits the home and your budget.
How long does a roof replacement take on a larger home? Most single-family roof replacements are completed in one to two days, weather permitting. Larger Milton homes with several roof planes, steep pitches or 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, give you the documentation to file, meet the adjuster if requested, and supply the estimate and paperwork your insurer needs through 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 roof system to an architectural or designer shingle, GAF adds a manufacturer lifetime warranty. We are also fully insured with general liability and workers’ compensation coverage.
