Replacing your roof can save you thousands on endless repairs. Plus, it will add value to your home.
To create a safer, more beautiful, and comfortable home, you'll need a reliable roofing system – this is why a roof replacement should include more than just a new layer of shingles. If your roof has experienced severe damage, has recurrent problems, or is outdated, then replacing your system may be more cost-efficient than repairs.
RRG Roofing & Gutters understands roofing structures and applies modern techniques to keep the system protected from harsh weather, temperature fluctuations, water intrusion, and more!

A roof replacement is a practical investment in your home.
Does your roof experience reoccurring roof leaks, shingle damage, or other issues? Water intrusion, wood rot, and other damages are sometimes too severe to repair and could be a sign of issues within your roofing system. Plus, continuous repairs may only serve as temporary patches and can become much more expensive in the future.
In that case, replacing your roof would be more cost-efficient. Total replacement is also more economical than re-roofing since you won't have to worry about old problems coming back. By installing brand new materials, you eliminate problem areas altogether.
There are many reasons why installing a new roof is more effective than performing repairs, some examples of this include:
Manufacturers have created asphalt shingles that imitate the look of wood and slate.
Asphalt shingles are the most popular roof covering for homes, largely because they are relatively inexpensive, are durable, and come in a wide variety of styles, colors, and textures. RRG Roofing & Gutters installs architectural asphalt shingle roofing in Murphy, Dahlonega, Athens, and nearby. Our durable, low-maintenance asphalt shingles not only look great but deliver superior protection against the elements, including severe weather, high winds, moisture, and harsh UV rays.
Metal roofing in shingle, shake, slate, and tile styles has reinvigorated the metal roofing industry.
Metal roofing is a durable and energy-efficient option that has become increasingly popular for residential homes. Available in materials like steel and aluminum, metal roofs are designed to withstand harsh weather, resist fire, and shed snow and rain efficiently. Many systems are coated to prevent rust and fading, helping the roof maintain its appearance for decades. With proper installation, metal roofing can last 40-70 years and offers a sleek look that works well with both modern and traditional home styles.
Cedar shake roofs are a beautiful and durable roofing option.
Cedar shakes and shingles have been used for hundreds of years. They have proven their longevity in actual weather conditions, in all types of climates. Cedar shakes are visually appealing, creating a rustic look that is so popular that other roofing products, such as clay and concrete tiles, have versions that are made to look like cedar shakes.
Cedar shakes come at a higher cost than asphalt shingle roofing, but the investment usually lasts a lifetime. When properly installed and maintained, cedar shakes are a fantastic roofing option.
Tile roofs are most closely associated with Spanish style houses, but clay and concrete roofing products can be used with other architectural styles as well.
Clay and concrete tile roofing is known for its durability, distinctive style, and long lifespan. These tiles are designed to withstand harsh weather, resist fire, and hold up well against rot and insect damage. Clay tiles offer a classic, timeless look often associated with Mediterranean or Spanish-style homes, while concrete tiles provide a similar appearance at a more affordable price. With proper installation and maintenance, tile roofs can last 50 years or more and provide excellent long-term protection for your home.
Copper roofing is a premium roofing option known for its durability, longevity, and distinctive appearance. Over time, copper naturally develops a protective patina that gives the roof a beautiful green or blue-green color while helping protect the metal from corrosion. Copper roofs can last 50 years or more with minimal maintenance, making them a long-term investment for homeowners. They are often chosen for their classic look, energy efficiency, and ability to complement historic or high-end homes.
Composite shingles carry some of the industry's longest warranties.
The term "composite" can apply to several different types of roofing since it simply implies that a number of different materials are used in the manufacturing process. Today, one of the most common types of composite roofing is a simulated roofing slate that is made from resins and from rubber compounds extracted from reclaimed tires. This slate look-a-like offers excellent longevity and a lower installation price while providing the appearance of a traditional slate roof.
Slate is king of roofing materials but finding someone who can install or repair it may be a challenge.
Slate roofs are one of the longest-lasting materials available. They are often preferred for their unique style, durability, and stress-free maintenance. Slate roofing is an environmentally-friendly and weather-resistant roofing option capable of withstanding high winds, heavy rain, hailstorms, and more. With the right installation and maintenance, slate roofs have been known to last for over 100 years.
Wood shingles and shake roofs are beautiful but expect more maintenance compared to an asphalt roof.
Wood shingles and shakes usually come from red cedar, Alaskan yellow cedar, or Eastern white cedar. These evergreens produce wood that is dimensionally-stable and naturally resistant to rot and insect attack.
The main difference between shingles and shakes is that shakes are split from the log and have a rough, random texture; shingles have a smoother surface because they're sawn. A wood roof can be expensive, which is why most people avoid installing this type of roof unless they're dealing with a historic house.
