What Homeowners Ask Before They Call

How do I know if my roof needs repair or replacement?

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.

What should I do after hail or wind damage?

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.

Can you help with insurance documentation?

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.

Does Georgia have a separate roofing license?

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.

How do I prove a roofer has insurance?

Ask for current certificates of insurance showing general liability and workers compensation coverage. BFA can provide certificates on request.

Can roof work be paid at closing?

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.
