Our Roofing Services in Austell, GA

Here’s what we do in Austell, and how each job usually goes.

Professional Roof Installation

No two houses are the same. We look at yours, lay out the roof systems that fit it, and answer questions as they come up.

Trusted Roof Repair

Plenty of damaged roofs still have years in them. If the damage is in one area and the deck underneath is sound, a repair may be all it needs. We’ll tell you which way it goes.

Complete Roof Replacement

At some point, repairs stop paying off. When age or storm damage is everywhere, we’ll walk you through replacement options that suit the house and the budget.

Advanced Drone Inspections

Some roofs are too steep or too fragile to walk. A drone gets close-up photos of those spots without anyone stepping on them.

Commercial Roofing in Austell

Commercial roofs are a different job. Most are flat or low-slope, and they fail in different ways than shingles do. We’ll tell you whether yours needs a repair, a replacement or a maintenance plan, so you can get back to running the business.

Gutter Installation in Austell

Gutters are part of the roof system. When they overflow, the water ends up at the foundation, in the soil and on the siding. We install seamless gutters, often at the same time as a new roof.

Skylight Installation in Austell

Want more daylight? Hero Roofing is an authorized VELUX skylight dealer, and we install skylights in homes and businesses. A new roof is the easiest time to add one.

Why Austell Homeowners Work With Hero Roofing

Plain answers. If your roof has years left, we’ll say so. If it doesn’t, we’ll show you why, with photos. And when the job’s done, the crew cleans up.

Roofing conditions in Austell

The homes

Austell is too small for reliable Census estimates, so these numbers cover Cobb County. The typical home in Cobb County was built in 1990. About 27% went up before 1980, and 13% in 2010 or later. Most are lived in by their owners (67%), and 65% are single-family detached houses.

A house that old has probably had its roof replaced at least once. If yours is due again, have the roof deck and attic ventilation checked at the same time. More in our guide: how long asphalt shingles last in Georgia.

Storm history in Cobb County

From 2016 to 2025, NOAA's Storm Events Database lists 19 hail records, 57 thunderstorm wind reports of about 58 mph or more, and 4 tornado records for Cobb County.

Storm damage is hard to see from the driveway. A creased or lifted shingle looks fine from below, then leaks months later. After a bad storm, a free roof inspection settles it. Here's what we check for.

Permits

Residential building permits in Austell are issued by the City of Austell Community Affairs, phone (770) 944-4309. Ask that office whether your roof project needs a permit.

City and county rules aren't always the same. The office that covers your address has the final word, and we check before work starts.

Repair or replace?

A new roof isn't always the answer. After an inspection, these are the things that usually decide it.

Repair may make sense when

  • The damage is in one spot
  • The roof has years of life left
  • The deck, ventilation and flashing are sound

Replacement may make sense when

  • Wear or storm damage covers much of the roof
  • Leaks keep coming back, in more than one place
  • The roof is near the end of its life
