The Norcross roofing market

The largest share of homes in Norcross zip codes was built in the 1980s (36%), and about 79% are old enough that the original roof would be at or past a typical asphalt shingle lifespan in Georgia (Census ACS 2023 5-year). That means many homes here are on their second roof or due for one, so replacement work does not depend on storms alone.

Since October 14, 2020, radar estimates and National Weather Service reports show 7 days with hail of three quarters of an inch or more in Norcross zip codes, 4 of them at an inch or more, the largest about 1.50 in on March 26, 2023. Across North Georgia most hail falls from June through August.
