“Cristian and iRoofer are great! And let me tell why. As you might already know a good percentage of commercial roofers either can’t handle the job, never get back to you or your job is too big or too small. Well Cristian is definitely the opposite. He’s very professional, courteous, punctual, organized and does a great job. He haggled with the insurance companies on my behave to get an honest settlement to get my commercial warehouse roofer back to 100%. This included matching the existing roof materials, siding, custom gutters and insulation. I would highly recommend Cristian & iRoofer. B. Grace / Southern Sky Home”
Residential and light commercial
On the commercial side, new construction means getting the transitions right where low-slope meets steep-slope, and planning penetrations before the mechanical contractor starts cutting. Every rooftop unit is a curb that has to be flashed properly, and coordinating that during construction is a fraction of the cost of chasing leaks around it later. On residential the work is conventional — designed-in ventilation, valley membrane, step and kick-out flashing, high-wind nailing — done to manufacturer specification because that is what the warranty is conditional on.
Kennesaw's permitting process
The City of Kennesaw operates its own Building Services department and requires all permit applications to be submitted online, with a defined certificate-of-occupancy checklist at the end of the process. If the site sits within the historic district there is an ordering requirement worth knowing before the schedule is set: the Certificate of Appropriateness must be approved before the building permit application is made, and it applies to any exterior work. On a new build that is not a detail to discover late.
Questions Kennesaw homeowners ask us
Yes, light commercial. The critical work is low-slope to steep-slope transitions and planning penetrations before mechanical starts cutting — coordinating that during the build is far cheaper than chasing leaks later.
Through the City of Kennesaw's own Building Services department, with online-only applications and a certificate-of-occupancy checklist at completion.
The Certificate of Appropriateness has to be approved before the building permit application — not alongside it. Worth building into the programme rather than discovering it at the counter.
That is the commitment. We schedule against the framing inspection rather than a hopeful date, because everything after us depends on the house being closed to weather.
On commercial, yes, and it matters. Every rooftop unit is a curb that has to be flashed properly, and that is much easier planned than retrofitted.
