Griffin was founded in 1840, the railroad arrived in 1842, and its housing is some of the oldest around: about 43% of homes were built before 1970, from the houses on North and South Hill Street to the old mill villages. In April 2025, two tornadoes struck Spalding County within days of hail in town. Emergency Roofing Solutions inspects, tarps, repairs and replaces roofs across Griffin, and a live person answers 24/7.

The old roof came off and new shingles were going on by late afternoon the same day. In October, we followed up in the attic and photographed it.

A completed roof on a historic house inside Griffin’s city limits. We photographed it by drone in November 2023. We’ve also completed a roof on Stillwater Trace.

About 1 in 3 Griffin homes was built before 1960, and the 1950s were the city’s biggest building decade. Older homes can have original decking, several layers of past repairs and too little attic ventilation.
On April 7, 2025, an EF1 and an EF0 tornado struck Spalding County, and a tree landed on a home along New Salem Road. Three days later, a large tree fell on a home near Grantland Road.
Only about 38% of Griffin’s occupied homes are lived in by their owners. We work with owners and property managers, schedule around tenants and send a photo report of what we found.
Quarter-size hail fell in Griffin on April 10, 2025. Hail bruises on shingles are hard to see from the ground, so we check up close and photograph every slope.

Trees fell across Griffin, including on Hamilton Boulevard at Arthur K. Bolton Parkway and on Northside Drive near Hill Street, with numerous trees down southwest of town.
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.
Nearby, we also work in McDonough, Locust Grove, Hampton, Fayetteville and Peachtree City. See all areas we serve.

Look at the decking, the chimney and vent flashing, and the attic ventilation. Our free inspection covers all of those and shows you photos of each.

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…
