Elite Roofing Systems - Quality Roofing From the Decking Up

A major storm brought hail damage to this Ellijay, Georgia home, and what started as storm damage ultimately led to a complete roof replacement. Elite Roofing Systems was called in to inspect the property, document the damage and help the homeowners navigate the insurance process.

And this particular roofing project came with an Ellijay experience we'll never forget — a mama bear, a daddy bear, and four baby bears became regular visitors to the property while our crew was working!

While the bears certainly made this project memorable, our focus was making sure the homeowners received the complete roofing system their home needed after the storm.

From Hail Damage to a Complete Roof Replacement

The home had sustained hail and storm damage, and the homeowners needed a roofing contractor who could not only identify the damage but also help them through the insurance process.

At Elite Roofing Systems, we understand that dealing with storm damage and an insurance claim can be overwhelming. That's why we work with homeowners throughout the process and communicate with the insurance company to help make sure the damage and necessary roofing components are properly documented.

Our goal is to make sure important components of the roofing system aren't overlooked during the insurance process.

A roof replacement is about much more than putting new shingles on a house. A complete roofing system can include decking, underlayment, ice and water protection, starter shingles, drip edge, ventilation, flashing and other components.

We work with homeowners and insurance adjusters to help make sure the necessary work is properly identified so the homeowner can receive the maximum benefit available under their policy.

Once the damage was properly documented and the insurance claim was approved, we got to work replacing the roof the right way.

Taking the Roof Down to the Decking

At Elite Roofing Systems, we don't believe in simply installing new shingles over an old roofing system and calling the job complete.

For this Ellijay roof replacement, we removed the existing roofing materials and took the roof all the way down to the decking.

This allowed us to properly inspect the roof deck and identify areas that needed attention. Any damaged decking was repaired before the new roofing system was installed.

From there, we built the new roof from the decking up using high-quality CertainTeed roofing components.

For this project, we installed CertainTeed Landmark PRO Asphalt Shingles in the color Georgetown Grey, along with CertainTeed ice and water shield, CertainTeed felt underlayment, CertainTeed starter shingles and CertainTeed ridge vent, as well as quality drip edge and the other components necessary to create a complete roofing system.

Why Elite Roofing Systems Uses CertainTeed Components Throughout the Roof

One thing that sets Elite Roofing Systems apart is that we don't look at a roof as simply "shingles."

Your shingles are only one part of your roofing system.

The underlayment, ice and water protection, starter shingles, ventilation, drip edge and other components all play an important role in protecting your home.

That's why we always use CertainTeed components throughout the roofing system.

By using compatible components from the same manufacturer, we can install the roofing system according to the manufacturer's requirements and help ensure that the applicable manufacturer warranty requirements are met.

And we don't stop there.

Elite Roofing Systems registers the manufacturer's warranty for you.

We believe that if you're making a major investment in a new roof, you shouldn't have to figure out all of the warranty paperwork yourself. We take care of registering the warranty so you have the documentation you need and can have greater confidence in your new roofing system.

The manufacturer provides the applicable materials warranty, and Elite Roofing Systems backs our work with a workmanship warranty.

That's two important layers of protection for your investment.

Quality Materials From the Decking Up

We also pay close attention to the materials underneath your shingles.

For this Ellijay roof replacement, we installed high-quality CertainTeed felt underlayment rather than using the extremely thin underlayment that can easily tear during installation.

When you're installing a roof that is expected to protect a home for years to come, we don't believe the materials underneath the shingles should be an afterthought.

The same philosophy applies throughout the entire roofing system.

We use quality CertainTeed roofing components throughout the entire roofing system because we want the finished roof to be built properly, perform the way it was designed to perform and meet the manufacturer's installation requirements.

We don't cut corners.
