Understanding GAF Timberline HDZ Shingles Cost in Metro Atlanta

When homeowners in Metro Atlanta decide to invest in a roof replacement, the GAF Timberline HDZ® shingle is often their top choice. As America's #1 selling shingle, it offers a perfect balance of durability, aesthetics, and value. But how much should you expect to pay?

Average Cost Breakdown

On average, installing GAF Timberline HDZ shingles in the Atlanta area ranges from $3.50 to $5.50 per square foot, fully installed. For a typical 2,000 square foot roof, this translates to roughly $7,000 to $11,000. This estimate includes:

• Materials: The shingles themselves, underlayment, ice and water shield, drip edge, and flashing.
• Labor: Tearing off the old roof, preparing the decking, and professional installation.
• Disposal: Dumpster fees and hauling away the old roofing materials.

Factors That Affect Your Quote

No two roofs are exactly alike. Several factors can influence the final cost of your roof replacement:

• Roof Complexity: A roof with multiple valleys, dormers, or steep pitches (like a 10/12 pitch) requires more labor and safety equipment, increasing the cost.
• Decking Condition: If the plywood decking underneath your old shingles is rotted or damaged, it must be replaced before new shingles can be installed.
• Upgraded Warranties: As a GAF Certified contractor, we can offer enhanced warranties, such as the System Plus Limited Warranty, which covers manufacturing defects for 50 years and includes tear-off costs.
