Roof Leak Evaluation and Replacement Estimate on Georgia Street in Johnson City, TN

Our Johnson City roofing team recently visited a home on Georgia Street after the homeowner requested an inspection due to concerns raised by her insurance company. During their visit, the insurance adjuster noted a potential leak developing over the main bedroom, prompting the homeowner to seek a professional evaluation and a full replacement estimate. She also requested a gutter replacement estimate to address aging drainage around the home.

What We Found During the Roof Inspection

The home is a single-story shingle roof, and while the exact age of the roof is unknown, several signs point to wear consistent with older roofing materials. Insurance concerns often arise when shingles begin to lose granules, lift, curl, or crack—conditions that can allow moisture to seep into the decking and interior rooms such as the main bedroom.

Because this was an insurance-related inspection, our team documented all slopes, flashing points, and potential water-entry areas to provide clarity on whether the roof needs repair or a full replacement. The homeowner also noted issues with the existing gutters, which may be contributing to water overflow during storms.

Recommended Roofing System

The replacement estimate includes a full architectural shingle upgrade using materials listed in the project file. The planned system includes:

• Owens Corning TruDefinition Duration architectural shingles in Desert Rose (17 squares)
• Hip and ridge caps
• Starter strip
• CSI WIP100 ice and water shield
• ABC Pro Guard synthetic underlayment
• White aluminum drip edge
• 18" ridge vent sections
• Coil roofing nails
• Lifetime plumbing boot and split boot
• Button caps for underlayment installation

This system provides strong weather protection, improved ventilation, and long-term durability—important for homes in Johnson City that experience heavy rain, seasonal winds, and occasional freeze-thaw cycles.

Gutter Replacement Request

In addition to the roof evaluation, the homeowner asked for a gutter replacement estimate. Upgrading the gutters will help manage roof runoff more effectively and prevent water from pooling near the foundation or backing up at the eaves.
