For 37 years, Gary Kent has replaced asphalt shingle roofs across Columbus, GA and the surrounding area. Asphalt shingles are the most popular roofing choice for good reason: durable, affordable, and available in colors that fit any home. When yours is worn, leaking, or storm damaged, we handle the full tear-off and replacement with quality shingles and a crew that has done it thousands of times. Free inspections, honest assessments, and work that lasts.
Asphalt is the work we do most. Here is more about how we work as a roofing company in Columbus, GA that keeps the same crew on your roof from tear-off to cleanup.
We tear off the old roof, lay fresh underlayment, and install a complete new asphalt shingle system, the right way.
Dimensional shingles that last longer and look better than 3-tab, in colors that suit your home.
Storm or hail damage? We document the damage and work with your insurer toward a covered replacement.
Here is a full shingle roof replacement we finished recently. We took the old roof off down to the decking, covered the shrubs and yard with tarps, put new underlayment across the whole roof, and finished with new shingles.
We generally install CertainTeed and GAF shingles, and we can install any brand that is available. For most homes we recommend architectural shingles with a Class 3 impact rating.
Impact-rated shingles may cost a bit more, but some insurance companies offer discounts for them that more than offset the extra cost. Three-tab shingles generally do not carry a Class 3 impact rating.
Every roof is priced on what it actually takes to provide you with a job we can stand behind for years to come. We focus on value, not simply being the lowest price.
For a modest home, taking off the old roof and re-roofing with architectural shingles starts at around $5,000. The price goes up with the size of the roof and how complex or difficult it is, and three-tab shingles and smaller homes cost somewhat less. Material prices change, so after a free inspection we give you a written proposal with our price, not a range over the phone.
