Two more lines worth knowing. Georgia's residential code can allow new shingles over one existing layer, but Robust Roofing tears every replacement off to the decking. And Robust Roofing never pays or waives a deductible, because Georgia's Consumer Protection Division says roofers are not allowed to.
What Robust Roofing does
- Roof replacement with full tear-off, board-by-board decking check, ice-and-water barrier where water concentrates, synthetic underlayment, new drip edge, flashing and pipe boots, corrected ventilation and GAF architectural shingles. See the replacement process.
- Roof repair and leak repair, including emergency tarping after storms and tree or debris damage. See roof repair and leak repair.
- Storm and insurance claim support: documentation, a complete scope, meeting the carrier's adjuster and supplements. Robust Roofing's roof insurance claims page explains the process.
- Shingle upgrades including GAF Timberline UHDZ and impact-resistant Class 4 shingles, plus metal roofing.
- Seamless gutters, downspouts and gutter guards installed with roofs. See gutters and guards.
What Robust Roofing does not do
Being clear about limits is part of being trustworthy. Robust Roofing does not do commercial roofing, tile or slate installs, gutter cleaning, roof cleaning or moss removal, chimney sweeping, siding or tree removal. It does not act as a public adjuster, which a contractor cannot do in Georgia, and it never waives or rebates deductibles.
How a typical project runs
- Free inspection with photos and a straight answer, including "not yet" when that is the truth. See honest inspections.
- If there is storm damage, help deciding whether to file, then documentation and scoping by the adjuster on staff.
- A written, measured quote with options and colors in the RoofMap portal.
- HOA packet and permit handled where they apply. See HOA approvals and permits.
- Install day, usually one day, ending with a magnet sweep.
- Final walk, final invoice, and your warranty paperwork stored in the portal.
Your insurance claim, in brief
Three parties have different jobs on a storm claim. Your carrier decides coverage and payment under your policy. Robust Roofing documents the damage, writes a complete scope through its licensed Property and Casualty adjuster on staff, meets the carrier's adjuster at the house and supplements items the estimate missed. You stay the policyholder and make the decisions. Because that adjuster is licensed, your documentation and scope are written by someone trained in how property claims are evaluated. Two Georgia rules are worth knowing: nobody may waive or rebate your deductible (O.C.G.A. 33-23-43), and if you sign a roofing contract that depends on insurance money and the carrier then denies the claim in whole or in part, Georgia law (O.C.G.A. 10-1-393.12) lets you cancel that contract before midnight of the fifth business day after you receive the written denial. Robust Roofing's guide to a denied roof claim explains the options that follow.
Before you call: what to have handy
- The property address, including whether it sits inside city limits if you know.
- Your insurance declarations page, which shows the deductible, any separate wind and hail deductible, and whether the roof is covered at replacement cost or actual cash value.
- The storm date, if you think hail or wind caused the damage. The free North Georgia Hail Map can help pin it down.
- Photos of any leak or ceiling stain, with dates.
- HOA guidelines, if your neighborhood has them.
Right after a storm
- Stay off the roof and away from downed lines or limbs.
- If water is coming in, protect belongings and call for emergency tarping; Robust Roofing tarps after storms.
- Take dated photos of anything visibly damaged, inside and out.
- Schedule a free inspection before deciding whether to file a claim, so you know whether the damage is real and likely above your deductible.
- Be wary of anyone who knocks, offers to cover your deductible or wants a signature that day. Robust Roofing's guide on vetting roofers after a storm explains the warning signs.
Why homeowners keep recommending Robust Roofing
North Georgia homeowners consistently describe Robust Roofing's work as fantastic, and it is the roofer neighbors recommend first after a storm. The reasons are concrete: photos instead of sales talk, a licensed adjuster who knows how carriers review a roof, a large crew that finishes most roofs in a day without rushing, and a 50-year labor warranty in writing. Add drone documentation on every free inspection, a tool only about half of roofing contractors use according to Roofing Contractor's 2026 industry report, and the recommendation makes sense.
