Forsyth County was one of the fastest-growing counties in the country, and more than 85% of its homes were built in 1990 or later. Many of the roofs from the 1990s and 2000s are now at or past replacement age, and the Cumming area has had golf-ball hail as recently as April 2025. We inspect, document storm damage and repair or replace roofs across Cumming and Forsyth County, and a live person answers 24/7.

Real jobs from our crews, documented in our job files.

We counted the pipe boots, vents and other roof penetrations, marked the totals in chalk and photographed each slope.

We walked the roof and marked problem areas for the homeowner before writing up the estimate.

Roof jobs signed in the days after the January 2026 ice storm and completed for Cumming homeowners.
What Cumming and Forsyth County homeowners said
“I had a roof leak at our house in Cumming, GA, and Emergency Roofing Solutions came through in a big way! … They made sure our lawn and porch were completely protected, and left the place cleaner than they found it. … For anyone in Cumming needing roofing work, Emergency Roofing Solutions is the way to go!”
“A huge tree fell on my house in a storm and smashed through the roof. ERS handled everything super professionally, and did a great job on not only the roof repair but also all the interior repairs. They worked well with my insurance company and mortgage lender.”
“Emergency Roofing was exceptional in handling my roof leak. Casey from the team came out even during freezing rain, worked in the dark, made sure the roof was covered with a tarp, and returned a week later to complete the job perfectly.”

About 53% of Forsyth County homes were built between 1990 and 2009, so their roofs are now 17 to 36 years old. Basic 3-tab shingles typically last about 20 years, and architectural shingles about 30.
NOAA logged 1.75-inch hail on GA 400 near Exit 13 on April 10, 2025, and 1-inch hail near Summit Overlook Way the same evening. Hail that size bruises shingles even when the damage is hard to see from the ground.
Many Lake Lanier-area subdivisions date to the 1980s and 1990s, older than most homes in the county. Trees are the other big risk: in June 2025 a tree fell on a house near Pilgrim Mill Road.
Many Cumming-area neighborhoods, from Windermere to the Polo Fields, have homeowners associations, and most HOAs review roof color and style. We help you choose an approved shingle and prepare what the HOA needs.
From National Weather Service surveys, NOAA storm records and local news.
Freezing rain fell across Forsyth County through the day. Within days our crews were on Bromyard Terrace, Oldbury Place, Dove Trail and Windjammer Point.
Trees and large limbs came down along Hightower Circle, and a tree fell on a house just west of Pilgrim Mill Road and FAA Road.
Hail up to 1.75 inches fell on GA 400 near Exit 13, with 1-inch hail near Summit Overlook Way. Over the next three months our crews inspected 15 Cumming-area roofs, from Golden Ridge Circle to Medley Way.
Trees came down across north Forsyth, including in the Mundy Road area, where one home lost its porch columns. In the six weeks after, our crews inspected 35 Cumming-area roofs.
We check every slope, the flashing, vents and gutters, and the attic if you have a leak. You get clear photos of what we found, good or bad.
We tell you whether you need a repair or a replacement, and why, with a line-item estimate. If it is storm damage, we document it for your insurance company and can meet your adjuster on site.
Our crew does the work, protects your landscaping, cleans up the nails and debris, and walks the finished roof with you. In HOA communities, we help you get approval before work starts.
Nearby, we also work in Alpharetta, Milton, Johns Creek, Suwanee and Gainesville. See all areas we serve.

Hail bruises often can’t be seen from the ground. We inspect up close, mark every hit and photograph each slope, so you and your adjuster can see the damage for yourselves.

Jabari Bulger came to my door after seeing that my roof was seriously in need of replacement. He walked me through the process with insurance and the roof replacement seamlessly. I'm very happy with my choice to use Emergency Roofing Solutions.
Jabari was knowledgeable, friendly, honest, and very helpful during the entire process.
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…
Ricky Downs is wonderful and I will recommend him to all my family and friends
