Atlanta Roofing Specialists is a full service roofing contractor. We can handle all of your residential and commercial roofing needs, from the smallest repair to the largest roof, no job is too big or too small! Atlanta Roofing Specialists was incorporated in May of 1993 by Kevin King and Mark Rutherford. Prior to starting the company Kevin, who has a business degree from the university of West GA, had worked with an insurance repair contractor and had extensive knowledge of estimating and the "Business" side of the industry. Mark had served in the U.S. Army and worked in the industry installing roofs since 1987 and had learned that quality workmanship and attention to detail was the key to a successful business. Since then, ARS has grown to be one of the largest and most respected roofing contractors serving the metropolitan Atlanta area.

We work closely with each customer to assure all concerns are addressed and handled in a professional manner. We will earn your respect by meeting and exceeding your expectations. Additional contact name - Kevin King. Award winning.
We had three estimates. This was the only one, where the salesman tried to talk me out of upgrading. Our Salesman, Chris Hill, set me at ease. Not only did he describe the process in detail, he fielded my many questions, before during and after the sale with a smile. The crew worked very quickly and our roof was done in two days. As with any large project, there were a few minor things that weren't exactly, what I wanted. Chris sent a crew back and they worked with me to make everything EXACTLY, as I specified. It was amazing. They even drove me to Home Depot, to allow me to pick out exactly, what I wanted. Talk about service! Even, after the sale, Chris has called to make sure I was happy and had no issues. I cannot over emphasize how incredible their service was.
Description of Work: We had our entire roof replaced, putting in 50-year shingles, power and drip-edge vents and copper valleys.

We had very good experience. The job was completed in just two days and the salesman followed up later for quality control. Communication with the salesman was also good. The price wasn't the lowest of three estimates but it was in the ballpark. The speed and quality of the job, along with the warranty and reputation of the company are why I would recommend this company to others.
Description of Work: They removed the old roof and installed a complete new one.

They did fix some flashing and told us that we didnt need to have the roof repaired right now. They gave us a time frame on when we should look into getting the repair work done. I appreciated that they didnt just go ahead and do work that we didnt really need. We wont be using anyone else for our roofing work from now on.

Out of the 2 estimates I received, their was $500 less than the other company who didn't identify the problem accurately. They still leaked a little bit after they were at my house, so they came back out at no cost to do more work. They're very professional and I'd recommend them to others!

They started on time and finished on time. I was satisfied with the foreman who was in charge of the work. The only thing I was concerned about was that they had not gotten a permit from the city. The salesperson was very cordial, seemed to be genuinely interested.
Al Cook was the guy who oversaw the work at our house. His crew started in June and they worked through Dec. 15th. They did a fantastic job and we could not have more pleased. He is a military man, so everything was done in a military like style, which we appreciated. We are going to hire them again to do some more work around our house.
Description of Work: They tore off our old roof. Then they went up another story and redid the roof on the new story, which was at least 2000 square feet of new roofing. They used shingles on the new roof. They also added a three car garage, a front and rear porch, and an 18 by 25 foot screened in porch. They also poured a new driveway and a walkway and 5 steps.

I would not be opposed to using this company again. They are nice folks and gave a rather low bid for the work. They added the thirty extra sheets of plywood onto the end of the estimate they had already given me though. That added several thousand dollars to my bill. They also did not completely finish the eve work. I am still waiting until we get a long hard rain to most fully evaluate their work with my microscope. For the time being, you could call me a satisfied customer. I still feel they could lower their prices a little and improve a little upon the quality of their work in retrospect.
Description of Work: The roof on my 2500 square foot, split level home with three bedrooms was replaced by this company. They took off the old roof and put on a shingled asphalt roof in its place. They added on thirty sheets of plywood that my roof needed and tried to fix a damaged eve but didn't completely finish that job.

The support staff was very professional. We recommended Atlanta Roofing Specialist to my Mother-in-law and they replaced her roof as well. They estimated about $6000 for the base work and an additional charge per plywood piece. We felt that was a reasonable price.
Description of Work: We had some problems with the roof on our 2400 square foot home. Atlanta Roofing completely replaced the roof and replaced 2/3rds of the plywood underneath the shingles. They then put on a new asphalt roof. It took 3 workers, 2 days to do the job and they cleaned up very well before they left.

The crew did an excellent job and the job was completed within the time frame estimated although a lot of the old decking had to replaced on this 50 year old house. No shrubs were damaged and the entire area was always kept clean. We would certainly recommend ARS to other homeowners needing a new roof or roof repair. We will use ARS for gutters and gutter covers in September, we already have the ARS estimate.
Description of Work: Chris Hill provided an estimate for a new roof and ridge vent. I also received 4 other estimates. My selection of ARS was based in the rating on Angie's List, the reasonableness of the estimate and Chris Hill's approach and presentation of the proposal

A representative responded when contacted and took time to explain our choices, tell exactly what work would be done, supplied references, and answered questions, all without pressure. Costs were explained, and requested discounts were honored in final bill. The company was very patient while we decided on a color and gave us addresses where we could see finished roofs, and even brought shingle samples. Suggestions were given when requested. The work was done well and quickly, and the crew answered questions courteously. The work was 3/4ths completed the first day and it rained the following day. We had no concern about leaks because the roof, as well as supplies and equipment were covered. The work was completed the following morning. The ground was cleaned both days leaving the yard nail-free and looking better than before the work was done. We felt free to ask questions during final inspection.
Description of Work: Two layers of shingles were removed, rotted plywood was replaced, and a new roof was put on. (I was shown the bad plywood.) Both days, ground was left clean and free of nails and debris.

We had a roof leak that was draining through a wall and all the way into the basement! They came out the same day and did a temporary, emergency patch. For the actual repair, they had to remove a skylight and replace an area of rotten wood underneath the shingles. They also replaced some vent gaskets that water was seeping in around. I truly thought we needed a whole new roof, so they were very honest. The price was exactly what was quoted and the work was done when promised.
Description of Work: Area of rotten wood replaced, shingles replaced and roof generally repaired.

Atlanta Roofing Specialists are very professional. They kept us informed as to when the job was scheduled and where there when they said that they would be. They completed the job in a day and a half even though extra material had to be gotten in order to complete the job. I would recommend them to anyone who needs a new roof.
Description of Work: The roof on my house was in really bad shape. A good bit of the wood had to be replaced and even some of the rafters.

This contractor tried to get me to sign a relatively minimal agreement which would have offered me no protection. Instead, I asked them to sign a written competitor's agreement that I had received which simply stipulated that they would follow the guidelines set down by the National Roofing Association. They agreed verbally to the guidelines but would not commit to them in writing. I told them that the only reason that I could come up with their unwillingness to sign it was because they had no intention of following it. I have noticed that other people have given this firm good reviews, but be careful!!! It typically takes several years for roofing leaks to show up and unless they have had the roof reviewed by another professional these homeowners really don't know what kind of job was really done. For example, I purchased my new home and found out five years later that the roof had been stapled and not nailed on. Only contract for a GAF Golden Pledge Warranty.

Response from Atlanta Roofing Specialist Inc
WE AGREED TO ALMOST EVERYTHING IN THIS HOMEOWNER'S 4 PAGE ADDENDUM AND HAD NO PROBLEM SIGNING IT. AFTER MAKING SOME MINOR CHANGES, HOWEVER, SHE WAS NOT WILLING TO SIGN OUR CONTRACT, WHICH WOULD LEAVE US VULNERABLE. WE HAD AGREED TO FURNISH THIS HOMEOWNER WITH A GAF GOLDEN PLEDGE WARRANTY, WHERE A REPRESENTATIVE FROM THE MANUFACTURER INSPECTS THE JOB AFTER COMPLETION AND ISSUES A 12-YEAR LABOR WARRANTY ON OUR WORK. I DON'T SEE HOW ANYBODY COULD OFFER HER ANY BETTER PROTECTION THAN THIS.

Excellent service provided by this company. Job was completed in two days. Roof was hand nailed. Property was left completely clean after each day. Workers took care not to trench the yard with their vehicles. A beautiful flashing job around the chimney. Our salesman matched the lower bid of another company.

I found ARS on Angie's list and Ga Home Reports and they had a great rating both places, so I went out on a limb (I usually go by word of mouth) and hired them. The team came out early on the first day with a crew of 6-7 (don't remember the exact count) they were clean and thorough. The second day they completed the project and cleaned behind themselves. This experience was much easier than I thought it would be. I would definitely recommend them to do your roof. They even provided homes in your area to see examples of different shingle colors.

About a year later, I noticed a missing shingle on the corner of my roof and called Atlanta Roofing Specialists again....it turns out one of the guys that had worked on my roof from Atlanta Roofing Specialists (no longer works for them) had done one part of the roof incorrectly. They immediately sent out a team to fix it correctly, and added a new drip edge all around my roof at no charge. When they left and I looked at my new drip edge, I noticed that the galvanized metal did not blend well with the rest of my 1923 cottage, which had white painted wood. I talked to the owner and he sent two gentleman out again who primed and painted the drip edge so that it now nicely blends with my home--all at no extra charge.
Description of Work: I had called Atlanta Roofing Specialists out when I found out the bargain roofer I hired had not re-roofed my house properly and it needed some adjustments. Unlike some roofing companies--who would not even return my calls because it was not a complete re-roofing job--Atlanta Roofing Specialists came out, gave me an estimate for the work to be done, and fixed the problem quickly.

When I called to request the estimate of repair, they were very efficient in getting things taken care of. A couple of days later, the estimator showed up as promised and I was given an estimate for repair. The estimator also checked the rest of the roof for potential problem areas, pointed out some issues that were included in the quote. Having the repair scheduled by the company was rather problematic. While the weather provided a couple of days interference, I was okay with that. However, the office did not do a very good job of communicating when the repair would be scheduled, nor did they call back with the schedule as promised. I can understand that they are busy. However, they still need to communicate, no matter how busy they are. Once we did get a schedule, with a three hour window, the crew showed up as scheduled. They completed the job as described, actually touched up the paint around the repair, and cleaned up after themselves completely.
Description of Work: We had a leak in our roof that had developed into a big problem. It had begun pouring into the upstairs bedroom and running downstairs to the kitchen when it rained hard. The problem was identified as a builder error at the joint between a dormer and the roof. There was also an error in the construction of the gutter in an adjoining area, exacerbating the problem. The house is less than two years old.

WHEN SCHEDULING ROOFING REPAIRS IT IS VERY DIFFICULT TO PINPOINT EXACT DATES- ESPECIALLY WHEN IT RAINS EVERY COUPLE OF DAYS. UNTIL THE WEATHER CLEARS UP AND WE CAN BE REASONABLY SURE WE ARE GOING TO BE ABLE TO STAY ON SCHEDULE WE WILL NOT GIVE ANY CUSTOMER AN EXACT DATE. SOMETIMES IT WILL BE A FEW DAYS AFTER A RAIN BEFORE WE CAN CALL WITH AN UPDATED SCHEDULE- THIS MAY SEEM INCONVENIENT BUT I DOUBT CUSTOMERS WOULD WANT US TO GIVE THEM INCORRECT INFORMATION.
