Roofing Contractor in Atlanta, GA
Atlanta has a lot of older houses: about 1 in 4 homes in the city was built before 1960, from Victorians in Inman Park to Craftsman bungalows in Virginia-Highland. It’s also a city in a forest, with tree canopy over about 46% of it, so wind storms often mean trees on roofs. Emergency Roofing Solutions inspects, tarps, repairs and replaces roofs across Atlanta, and a live person answers 24/7.

Recent roofing work in Atlanta
Real jobs from our crews, documented in our job files.
Habersham Way NW (2024–2025)
Natural slate on an older Atlanta home, which we inspected slope by slope in 2024 and again in March 2025. The metal hooks on this roof are from past slate repairs, which is how a cracked slate is replaced without disturbing the ones around it.
Hazelwood Drive SW (2026)
A roof our crew completed inside the city limits. We photographed it as the crew finished in October 2026. We’ve also inspected roofs on Penn Avenue NE and Battle Overlook NW.
What an Atlanta homeowner said
“Working with Ricky Downs was a pleasure. He was very honest and communicated with me thru the process. I will tell my family and friends about him.”
What we see on Atlanta roofs
Victorians and bungalows
About 1 in 8 Atlanta homes was built before 1940. Inman Park has Queen Anne and Victorian houses, and Virginia-Highland, known for its Craftsman bungalows, was mostly built between 1909 and 1926. Steep pitches, dormers and old decking all need care.
Historic district roofs
Neighborhoods like Inman Park, Grant Park and Cabbagetown are city historic districts with their own rules on roof materials. We match the material, color and shape your district calls for.
A city in a forest
Nearly half of Atlanta sits under tree canopy. In the February 2025 windstorm, a tree fell onto a home on Matilda Place in Grove Park, and others came down from Bankhead to the Old Fourth Ward.
Slate and clay tile
Some older intown homes still have slate or clay tile roofs. Those need repair with matching materials, never an asphalt patch.

Atlanta roofing FAQs
I live in an Atlanta historic district. Can I replace my roof?
Yes. Historic districts have rules on roof material and shape, so we plan the job around your district’s rules and match the existing roof’s look.
My house is from the 1920s. Is the roof decking still good?
Often it is, but old plank decking can have rot or gaps. We check it during the free inspection and tell you before any work starts.
A tree fell on my roof. What should I do first?
Get everyone out of the rooms under the damage, then call 404-474-4222, any time. We tarp the opening, photograph everything for your insurance claim and schedule the repair.
Do you serve all of Atlanta?
Yes, from Buckhead to Grant Park, including Virginia-Highland, Inman Park, Kirkwood, East Atlanta and West End.

I highly recommend ERS. Jabari and his crew were professional and were attentive to our needs. I am especially grateful because this was our first roof replacement, and he guided us through the - at times - arduous process. His colleague John was very courteous and reassuring on the build date. Go with ERS!

I hired Emergency Roofing Solutions after learning my roof, which had been updated before I bought the house, was missing proper ventilation. I had been noticing issues early on, especially in the summer, condensation around my HVAC unit, poor airflow, and my system working much harder than it should to keep the house cool. Cas…
