Storm Damage Roof Repair in Kennesaw, GA
Storm response in Kennesaw covers homes and small commercial buildings alike, and on the commercial side the damage that costs the most is almost never on the part of the roof anyone looks at.
“Cristian was extremely professional and had excellent customer service skills. From the roof inspection to roof installation, it was an awesome experience. The installers worked quickly and promptly cleaned up debris upon completion. I’ll be happy to do business with them again and recommend their service.”
Commercial storm damage is a flashing story
On the low-slope sections common to Kennesaw's small commercial buildings, wind and hail damage concentrates at the edges and the penetrations: perimeter metal lifted by uplift, seams opened, HVAC curb flashing displaced, and vent stacks knocked out of plumb. The membrane field can look untouched while water is entering at three curbs. We inspect the perimeter and every penetration individually and photograph each, because a commercial claim assessed on a general statement about the roof will be settled generally too.
Permits and the historic district ordering rule
The City of Kennesaw operates its own Building Services department and takes permit applications online only. For properties inside the historic district there is a sequencing requirement that catches out crews from elsewhere: the Certificate of Appropriateness must be approved before a building permit application can be made, and it covers any exterior work. In a post-storm rush that ordering is exactly the kind of thing that stalls a job for weeks, so we identify it at inspection rather than at the permit counter.
Questions Kennesaw homeowners ask us
Yes. Small commercial is a regular part of our work here — perimeter metal, seams, HVAC curb flashing and vent penetrations are where we find most of the actual damage.
Almost always the edges and penetrations rather than the field. Uplift opens perimeter metal and displaces curb flashing while the middle of the roof looks perfect from the parapet.
The city permits its own jurisdiction, online only. In the historic district a Certificate of Appropriateness must be approved before you can apply for the permit — worth knowing before the schedule slips.
Yes, on site. For commercial claims especially, agreeing scope on the roof with photographs beats correspondence that drags on while the building keeps taking water.
We tarp the same day where a roof is open to weather, residential or commercial, and inspections are free either way.
