When Hail Leaves Its Mark
Kennesaw has a documented hail record. On April 19, 2006, the National Weather Service office in Peachtree City logged 1.75-inch hail in Kennesaw, about the size of a golf ball, and one stone cracked a car windshield. On February 28, 2011, the NWS logged 1.00-inch hail in the Kennesaw area near I-575 and Bells Ferry Road.
Wind matters too. On January 11, 2020, an EF-0 tornado with an 85 mph peak wind ran from near Hiram toward Powder Springs and dropped a large tree onto a two-story home on Vineyard Road, southwest of Kennesaw. None of this means your roof is damaged. It does mean a look after a hard storm is reasonable.
The Usual Scenarios
What Moves the Price
Storm work is priced like any re-roof, by size, pitch, material and decking repairs:
| Cost row | Figure | Source (year) |
|---|---|---|
| Atlanta re-roof, average | about $7,777 (typical $5,211–$10,355) | Angi, 2026 |
| Atlanta re-roof, per sq ft | $4–$11 | Angi, 2026 |
| Georgia 2,000 sq ft architectural roof | about $12,000 | Fixr, 2025 |
| Georgia architectural shingles, per sq ft | $4–$10 | Fixr, 2025 |
| Georgia standing-seam steel, per sq ft | about $11.50 | RoofObservations, 2026 |
If you replace after a storm, it is a fair moment to ask about tougher materials. Plenty of insurers discount premiums for a Class 4 or FORTIFIED roof, so ask yours.
Inspection, Estimate, Install
- Stay off the roof. Take photos from the ground and note the storm date.
- Send a request. Use the form or call (770) 555-0186, and we pass it to one independent local roofer.
- Free inspection. The roofer photographs and measures any damage and explains what it found.
- Talk to your insurer. Share the photos and measurements if you decide to file.
- Written estimate and permit. Once you sign, the roofer pulls any permit and schedules the work.
Kennesaw's building rules cover work that repairs or alters a structure, and replacing a storm-damaged roof usually counts. Ask your roofer to pull the permit, and confirm with Kennesaw Building Services at (770) 429-4554, or Cobb County at (770) 528-1000 if your address is outside city limits.
Why Start Your Request Here
Our part is small and clear: one request, one independent local roofer, and no cost to you. Roofers may pay us for the referral. Georgia doesn't license roofers at the state level, so ask any roofer for a local business license, liability and workers' comp certificates, and written warranties.
Working Through the Claim
A roofer can photograph and measure the damage, but the claim itself is settled between you and your insurer. We stay out of claims entirely. Two Georgia rules are worth knowing before you sign a roofing contract that insurance will pay for.
Complaints about a roofer go to the Georgia Attorney General's Consumer Protection Division at 404-651-8600 or 1-800-869-1123.
Questions Homeowners Ask
Should I have the roof checked after every storm?
Not every storm. A check makes sense after hail you could hear on the roof, wind strong enough to drop limbs, or a new leak. If you are unsure, our repair-or-replace quiz asks about recent storms along with roof age and what you can see.
Can the roofer deal with my insurance company for me?
No. A roofer can photograph and measure the damage, but the claim itself is settled between you and your insurer. Those photos and measurements can help you describe what happened when you file, but the decisions on the claim stay with you and your insurer.
What happens if my insurer turns down part of the claim after I've signed?
Georgia gives you a set window. Once the insurer's written notice arrives, you can cancel an insurance-paid roofing contract until midnight of the fifth business day after you receive it, and the roofer can't require payment in the meantime, apart from emergency work you agreed to.
Also Worth a Look
If the damage turns out to be limited, roof repair may cover it. If not, read about a full roof replacement or compare shingle roof replacement with metal roof replacement.
