When it is time for a roof replacement in Atlanta, the materials you choose make all the difference. Atlanta's climate is demanding. The city receives more than 50 inches of rain every year, roughly 1.5 times the national average, and severe weather from tropical storms that roll in from Florida adds to the challenge. A roof that looks fine today can show serious problems after just one bad storm season.
At BRS Roofing Supply, we have spent over 15 years helping Atlanta-area contractors and homeowners source the right materials for roof replacements of every size. We carry in-stock inventory from the industry's top brands, offer expert one-on-one guidance, and deliver across Georgia in as little as 24 hours. Whether you are a licensed roofing contractor ordering by the pallet or a homeowner preparing for a full replacement, we make the supply side of your project fast and straightforward.
Atlanta's geography and weather patterns create unique stress on residential and commercial roofs. The combination of heavy rain, high humidity, strong winds, and occasional hail means roofing materials wear faster here than in drier climates. Homeowners should pay close attention to the age and condition of their roof, especially if it is more than 15 years old.
Common signs that a roof replacement is overdue include:
If you notice any of these, acting sooner rather than later protects the rest of your home from water damage and can prevent a much costlier repair down the road.
Choosing the right material is the most important decision in any roof replacement project. We stock a wide range of products so your contractor can match the right system to your home's needs and your budget.
Asphalt shingles are the most widely used roofing material in Atlanta. They are affordable, available in a wide range of colors and profiles, and relatively quick to install. We carry shingles from the industry's most trusted manufacturers, including:
GAF is one of the largest roofing manufacturers in North America. We supply the full GAF residential shingle lineup, including the GAF Royal Sovereign 3-tab, GAF Timberline NS, GAF Timberline HDZ, and GAF Timberline UHD.
The Timberline HDZ is a high-definition architectural shingle popular with Atlanta homeowners for its dimensional look and StainGuard Plus technology.
Owens Corning offers well-engineered products built for durability. We carry the Owens Corning Supreme 3-tab and the Owens Corning Duration architectural series, which features SureNail technology for enhanced wind resistance.
CertainTeed's residential line combines performance with aesthetics. We stock the CertainTeed XT 25, the Landmark, and the Landmark Pro, all of which carry strong manufacturer warranties and hold up well in Georgia's climate.
IKO manufactures reliable, affordable shingles suited to a range of budgets. Our IKO offerings include the Marathon Plus AR, the Cambridge architectural shingle, and the IKO Dynasty, which is designed for superior wind resistance.
TAMKO is a family-owned manufacturer known for quality and value. We carry the TAMKO Heritage and the TAMKO Elite Glass-Seal, both strong choices for residential replacements throughout metro Atlanta.
The Atlas Pinnacle Pristine is a premium architectural shingle featuring Scotchgard Protector technology to resist algae and keep roofs looking clean longer. A smart choice for homeowners who want both performance and curb appeal.
Metal roofs are growing in popularity across Atlanta because they handle the city's heavy rainfall and wind better than almost any other material. They are less prone to leaking, reflect sunlight to reduce cooling costs during Atlanta's hot summers, and have a lifespan of 40 to 70 years when properly installed.
We supply a full range of metal roofing panels in both through-fastened and standing seam profiles.
For commercial roof replacements and new installations, we supply TPO systems, roof coatings, and accessories from leading commercial brands.
Our GAF commercial offerings include TPO roofing systems, roof coating systems, and the full line of GAF commercial accessories and guarantees.
Firestone is a trusted name in low-slope commercial roofing. We carry Firestone TPO systems along with commercial accessories and warranty-backed guarantees.
Johns Manville provides robust commercial roofing accessories suited to Atlanta's commercial construction market.
TPO membrane systems are the most widely used commercial roofing option today. They offer strong resistance to UV exposure, chemical damage, and puncture, making them a practical and cost-effective choice for flat or low-slope commercial roofs.
A roof replacement is often a natural time to evaluate the condition of your home's exterior overall. We also carry James Hardie and Nichiha fiber cement siding products for contractors who need to address siding at the same time.

Cost is one of the first questions homeowners ask, and the answer depends on several factors specific to your home and the materials you choose. Based on current market data across the Atlanta area, here is a general overview to help you plan.
| Material Type | Average Cost Range (Installed) |
|---|---|
| Asphalt Shingles (3-tab) | $8,000 to $12,000 |
| Architectural Shingles | $10,000 to $16,000 |
| Metal Roofing (through-fastened) | $12,000 to $18,000 |
| Standing Seam Metal | $16,000 to $25,000+ |
| Tile Roofing | $18,000 to $30,000+ |
Summary: Most Atlanta homeowners pay between $8,000 and $20,000 for a full residential roof replacement, with the average landing around $12,000 for a standard 2,000 square foot home with architectural shingles.
1. Roof Size and Pitch A larger roof requires more materials and more labor hours. A steeper pitch adds difficulty and safety requirements that increase labor costs. Atlanta homes with complex roof lines featuring multiple ridges, valleys, dormers, or skylights will cost more to replace than simple gable roofs.
2. Material Selection Moving from basic asphalt shingles to premium architectural shingles, metal, or tile can roughly double or triple your material cost. However, premium materials also last significantly longer and can reduce insurance premiums and long-term maintenance expenses.
3. Existing Damage Atlanta's rainfall means hidden water damage under old roofing is a genuine risk. If a contractor finds rotted decking or damaged structural supports during tear-off, those repairs add to the total.
4. Labor Rates Labor typically accounts for more than half of any roof replacement cost. Rates vary across metro Atlanta depending on the contractor's experience, certifications, and current demand.
5. Permits and Disposal Atlanta requires permits for most full roof replacements. Disposal fees for tear-off materials are also part of the total project cost.

Atlanta's heavy rainfall, humidity, and occasional severe weather favor materials with strong moisture resistance and wind ratings. Architectural asphalt shingles with algae resistance are the most popular and cost-effective choice. Metal roofing, particularly standing seam, offers superior performance in heavy rain and strong winds with a much longer service life. Many contractors in the Atlanta area are moving toward metal for clients who want a long-term solution.
In Atlanta's climate, asphalt shingles typically last between 15 and 25 years depending on the grade and maintenance. Metal roofs generally last 40 to 70 years. Clay or concrete tile can exceed 50 years. Georgia's humidity, UV exposure, and storm activity tend to shorten roof life compared to drier northern climates, so regular inspections after major storms are recommended.
Yes. BRS offers 24-hour delivery across Georgia. Once your order is confirmed, we work to get materials to your job site the next day so your project stays on schedule. Contact us by phone or WhatsApp to confirm delivery availability for your location.
Absolutely. We supply full commercial roofing systems including GAF and Firestone TPO membranes, Johns Manville commercial accessories, roof coatings, and all supporting accessories needed for flat and low-slope commercial applications. Our team can help you spec the right commercial system for your building type and budget.
We carry residential shingles from GAF (including the Timberline HDZ and UHD lines), Owens Corning (Supreme and Duration series), CertainTeed (Landmark and Landmark Pro), IKO (Cambridge and Dynasty), TAMKO (Heritage series), and Atlas (Pinnacle Pristine). Each of these manufacturers offers a strong warranty, and our team can walk you through the differences to help you find the best fit.
Most full roof replacements in Atlanta and the surrounding municipalities require a building permit. Your roofing contractor is typically responsible for pulling the necessary permits before work begins. If you are purchasing materials for a project you are managing yourself, check with your local building department to confirm permit requirements and any applicable inspection steps.
