Roof Replacement in Austell, GA
A replacement in Austell is a chance to fix where your house puts its water, not just what covers it — and in a county with Cobb's flood history, that is worth doing properly once.
“Iroofer Contractors replaced my roof after a hurricane. They were honest, on time and did a great job on my roof. Next, they replaced my mother’s roof along with rotten wood since it was the original roof on the house. We love the roof and the job that was performed. I would recommend Iroofer to any of my friends and family.”
The roof, the gutters and the ground
We treat an Austell replacement as a drainage project that happens to involve shingles. The roof is torn to the deck, inspected sheet by sheet, dried in with synthetic underlayment and membrane at the valleys — that part is standard. What we also do here is look at whether the gutter capacity and downspout count actually match the roof area feeding them, and where that water is being discharged. A new roof draining into an undersized run that overshoots next to the foundation has solved the visible problem and left the expensive one in place.
Cobb County context
Austell falls under Cobb County for permitting, and roof replacement generally reaches permitting only when structural work is involved. Separately and more importantly for homeowners here: the county has significant flood history — the September 2009 event affected more than 1,600 homes countywide — and Cobb participates in FEMA's Community Rating System at class 7, which earns residents a 15% discount on their NFIP flood insurance premiums. Floodplain development is governed under its own chapter of the county code and is not something a re-roof triggers, but it is worth knowing where your property sits.
Questions Austell homeowners ask us
Often yes, and it is cheaper done together. If the existing runs are undersized or discharging next to the foundation, a new roof alone has not fixed your actual water problem.
Austell is under Cobb County. A like-for-like replacement generally does not require one unless structural work is involved. Floodplain permitting is separate and is not triggered by re-roofing.

It is not. We tear off and dry in the same day — we do not leave a deck open overnight, and in this part of Cobb that is not a policy we are flexible about.
Squares, pitch, layer count and decking condition. If drainage work makes sense alongside it we price that separately so you can see both numbers and decide.
