Atlanta is humid subtropical (Köppen: Cfa).
Hot summers. Heavy humidity. Storm bursts. Occasional hail. This city wears roofs out through steady punishment. Algae (Gloeocapsa Magma) grows fast. Heat bakes shingles until they blister. Wind gusts from thunderstorms lift the edges. Rain finds weak flashing instantly. Hail dents and cracks shingles quietly. You don’t always see the damage until it’s too late.

| Roofing Type | Cost per Square | 2,000 sq ft Roof |
|---|---|---|
| 3-Tab Asphalt | $500–$750 | $10,000–$15,000 |
| Architectural Asphalt | $700–$950 | $14,000–$19,000 |
| Metal Roofing | $1,200–$1,900 | $24,000–$38,000 |
If someone quotes you $7–$9K total, they’re skipping ventilation or flashing.
Georgia requires a General Contractor license for structural work.
Most roof replacements don’t hit that threshold, BUT…
Atlanta requires:
Permit for re-roofing
Proper underlayment
Wind-resistant fastening pattern
Low-end roofers ignore wind requirements. Storms expose that fast.
Heat softens adhesive strips
Humidity ruins exposed decking
Moss and algae form under bad installs
Valleys leak from improper flashing
Insurance denies unlicensed work
DIY saves nothing here. It costs double later.
