Price Ranges by Material
These five rows come from two cost publishers. They are statewide Georgia figures from 2025 and 2026, because no source we found publishes a Peachtree City-only number. The sources also disagree on how they count roof size, which materials they include and whether tear-off is built in, so treat each row as a rough marker rather than a price.
| Cost row | Figure | Source (year) |
|---|---|---|
| Georgia 3-tab shingles (average), per sq ft | about $5.05 | RoofObservations, 2026 |
| Georgia premium shingles (average), per sq ft | about $6.90 | RoofObservations, 2026 |
| Georgia asphalt shingle range, per sq ft | about $3–$5 | Fixr, 2025 |
| Georgia exposed-fastener metal, per sq ft | about $7.40–$9.90 | RoofObservations, 2026 |
| Georgia standing-seam metal range, per sq ft | about $11.50–$15.30 | RoofObservations, 2026 |
The figures are per square foot of roof surface, which is larger than the floor area of the house. Our cost calculator uses $4.30 to $7.75 per square foot for shingles and $7.60 to $14.25 for metal, set from these rows. As an example, a two-story home of about 2,750 square feet with a walkable pitch works out to roughly 1,690 square feet of roof. In shingles, that gives a range of about $7,300 to $13,100.
Pitch, Layers and Size
Roof area drives most of the price, and it is not the same as your home's square footage. A one-story house spreads its living space under one big roof. A two-story house of the same size sits under a roof about half as large. Overhangs at the eaves and the slope of each plane add surface on top of that.
Larger two-story homes and roofs with many valleys, dormers or hips tend to land in the upper half of the published ranges. Each extra angle needs cutting, flashing and time. The median owner-occupied home in Peachtree City is valued at $482,500 (Census), so ask the roofer how your own roofline shapes the price.
- Steepness. A roof you can walk on goes faster than a steep one, which needs harnesses, roof jacks and more labor hours.
- Layers to remove. Tearing off one old layer costs less than tearing off two. Disposal and dumpster fees grow with every layer.
- Decking repairs. Nobody can see soft or rotted decking until the tear-off exposes it. Replacing them is a possible extra, so ask how it will be priced.
- Material grade. Basic 3-tab, architectural and impact-rated shingles each step up in price, and metal sits above all of them.
- Permits and HOA choices. Where a permit applies, it can appear as its own line item. HOA-approved colors or materials can narrow your options and change the cost.
- Ventilation upgrades. Adding ridge vents or more intake at the eaves costs a little now and can help a new roof last through humid summers.
Permit rules depend on where you live. Inside the city, ask your roofer whether your job needs a permit and who will file it, or call the Peachtree City Building Department at (770) 487-8901. In unincorporated Fayette County, Georgia, a permit is skipped only for a same-material re-roof with 128 square feet of deck work or less.
What a Written Estimate Includes
A good estimate lets you compare two roofers line by line. If a quote is a single number on a card, ask for the details before you go further. Here is what a clear one usually spells out.
- Scope of work. Full tear-off or overlay, how many layers come off, and the total roof area the price is based on.
- Named materials. The shingle or panel line and color, plus underlayment, drip edge, flashing, starter strip and ridge cap.
- Decking terms. How decking repair is charged, such as per sheet, and a promise to show you photos before boards are replaced.
- Ventilation plan. Which vents stay, which are added, and how intake and exhaust will be balanced.
- Permit and HOA steps. Whether a permit is needed and confirmation that the roofer files it, plus who handles any HOA paperwork.
- Warranties. The maker's material warranty, the roofer's labor warranty, and a note that the maker's warranty will be registered in your name.
- Payment schedule. A sensible deposit and payments tied to progress. The Georgia Attorney General lists cash-only deals and demands for full payment up front as warning signs.
- Timing and cleanup. A rough start date, how long the work should take, and how nails and debris will be cleared from the yard.
When Insurance Pays
If wind, a falling limb or another sudden event damaged your roof, your homeowner's policy may pay for part or all of the work. A roofer can inspect the roof, photograph the damage and write an estimate you can send to your insurer. From there, the claim is between you and your insurance company. Georgia law bars roofers from negotiating a claim for you.
Your deductible is yours to pay. The Georgia Attorney General warns that a contractor offering to cover or absorb it is a red flag, so walk away from that offer. If you sign a roofing contract that depends on insurance money and the insurer later denies all or part of the claim in writing, Georgia lets you cancel that contract until midnight of the fifth business day after you get the notice.
Stronger roofs can matter for insurance, too. Many insurers offer credit for Class 4 shingles or a FORTIFIED roof, though each sets its own terms. These are options, not requirements. The Georgia roofing rules page covers the law in more detail.
