Roofing FAQ
Repair versus replacement, storm damage, insurance documentation, drone inspections, pay-at-closing roof work, cost questions, and Georgia credential questions.
Common Questions
Repair may be enough when the issue is isolated and the surrounding roof still has useful life. Replacement becomes more practical with repeated leaks, brittle shingles, broad granule loss, soft decking, or storm damage across multiple slopes.
Start with documentation. Look for missing shingles, fallen limbs, gutter damage, leaks, ceiling stains, and debris impact. Photos matter before anyone makes a major decision.
Yes. BFA documents visible roof condition and explains the roofing scope. The insurance carrier makes coverage decisions, but organized documentation helps everyone understand the roof.
Georgia does not issue a simple roofing-specific trade license like some states do. Roofing work may still be subject to local permits, inspections, and broader residential contractor rules depending on scope.
Ask for current certificates of insurance showing general liability and workers compensation coverage. BFA can provide certificates on request.
Sometimes. It depends on the contract, lender, title company, and approval from the parties involved. The roof scope needs to be documented clearly before closing.
