Who will actually come out to look at my roof?
One independent roofer who works in Peachtree City and the towns nearby. That company is separate from this site, and we don't employ its crew. We send your request to that single roofer, who contacts you to arrange a visit. You won't have several companies calling about the same job.
Do I pay anything to use this service?
No. Asking is free, and you never owe us money. A roofer may pay us a fee when we pass along a request, which is how the site is funded. We also don't hand out gifts, credits or discounts to homeowners. Any money for roof work goes only to the roofer you choose to hire.
How much does a new roof cost in Peachtree City?
Statewide figures put asphalt shingles at about $3–$5 per square foot (Fixr, 2025) and standing-seam metal at about $11.50–$15.30 (RoofObservations, 2026). Your own total depends on roof size, pitch, material and how much decking needs work. The cost calculator gives a rough range; the roofer's written estimate gives the real number.
Does my roof job need a permit?
Before work starts, ask your roofer if the job needs a city permit and who will apply for it; the roofer should handle that. The Peachtree City Building Department at (770) 487-8901 can confirm. Outside city limits, in unincorporated Fayette County, Georgia, switching to a different roofing material or replacing more than 128 square feet of decking means a county permit (770-305-5403).
Does a roofer need a state license in Georgia?
No state license exists for roofing in Georgia, so a roofer can legally work without one. That makes your own checks matter. Ask for proof of liability insurance, workers' comp if they have employees, a current local business license or occupational tax certificate, and an itemized contract. Get the manufacturer and labor warranties in writing too.
My insurance company may pay for the roof. How does that work?
The roofer can inspect, photograph the damage and write an estimate you can share with your insurer. The claim itself is yours to settle with your insurance company; no roofer may negotiate it for you. If the insurer turns down all or part of the claim in writing, Georgia lets you cancel an insurance-paid roofing contract any time through the fifth business day after that letter arrives.
A roofer offered to cover my deductible. Is that normal?
Treat it as a warning sign. The Georgia Attorney General lists an offer to pay, cover or absorb your deductible as a red flag, and you are expected to pay your own. Cash-only terms and a demand for full payment before work begins are two more. To report a problem, call Consumer Protection at 404-651-8600 or 1-800-869-1123.
Someone knocked on my door about my roof. What should I ask?
Peachtree City requires door-to-door sellers to carry a solicitor's permit issued through the police department, so ask to see it. If they can't show one, you don't have to keep talking. This site never sends anyone door to door. A roofer reaches out only after you have sent a request.
Does my HOA have a say in a new roof?
That depends on your neighborhood. Some Peachtree City neighborhoods have active HOAs with their own exterior rules, and others don't. Read your HOA documents before you sign a contract. If an active HOA covers your home, get its approval of shingle color and material first, so nothing has to be torn off and redone.
Repair or a whole new roof: how can I tell?
Curling or cracked shingles on several slopes, granules piling up in the gutters, repeat leaks and a sagging roofline all point toward replacement. A single limb puncture or one loose patch can often be fixed. The five-question repair-or-replace quiz gives a quick read before a roofer looks.
