The Challenge
After a severe weather event, this Athens homeowner’s roof was left with widespread damage and imminent leaks. Fortunately, their insurance, COUNTRY Financial, agreed to pay for a full roof replacement. Still, the homeowners were understandably nervous about undertaking such a big project, and wanted to ensure they chose the right contractor for quality work. A family friend who had a positive experience with IMPACT Roofing suggested they give us a call – advice that came with the promise of our $100 Referral Reward if they proceeded. Upon inspection, we concurred: the old roof had done its job, but storm damage and granule loss meant it wouldn’t protect the home much longer. The challenge was to replace the roof quickly and professionally, making the most of the insurance claim while minimizing disruption to the homeowners’ daily life.
The Solution
IMPACT Roofing gladly stepped in, thanks in part to the trust built via community referrals. We first reviewed the insurance scope provided by COUNTRY Financial to ensure everything needed was covered. Our team coordinated directly with the insurer to confirm the full replacement details, taking the paperwork burden off the homeowner.
On installation day, the roof was stripped down to the decking, and our thorough inspection revealed a couple of soft spots (a result of past leaks and hail impact) that were promptly replaced to provide a sturdy base for the new roofing system. Next, we laid down high-quality synthetic underlayment to shield the deck from any future moisture. We also installed matching GAF Liberty self-adhered rolled roofing on the low-slope rear porch area for proper protection. To ventilate the attic, we opened up the ridge and installed a continuous ridge vent.
The homeowners selected GAF Timberline HDZ shingles in Pewter Gray – a classic choice. With GAF’s LayerLock technology, these shingles tightly bond and are eligible for the WindProven wind warranty with no maximum wind speed limitation. After the shingles, we installed matching Seal-A-Ridge hip and ridge caps for a crisp finish. As a finishing touch, because these clients came through a personal referral, their friend who referred us received $100 – our way of saying thanks for keeping your business local and trusting IMPACT!
The Outcome
The Athens home now has a beautiful new roof that doesn’t reveal any trace of the storm damage that came before. The Pewter Gray Timberline HDZ shingles not only enhanced the home’s curb appeal but also came with the peace of mind of GAF’s WindProven Warranty and a 25-year StainGuard Plus Algae Warranty.
By entrusting IMPACT Roofing (on a friend’s recommendation), these homeowners benefitted from a smooth insurance-funded project, and were delighted to hear that their friend would be getting a referral bonus – a win-win for the community. Now these clients can rest easy knowing their home is safeguarded against future Alabama’s storms. IMPACT Roofing, fueled by the support of our community’s trust and referrals, continues to deliver quality solutions that stand the test of time.
