Roof Repair & Emergency Roofing in Rome, GA
Rome has some of the oldest housing in northwest Georgia. About a third of its homes were built before 1960, including Victorian houses in historic districts like Between the Rivers. Older roofs, historic-district rules and storms that bring down big trees all call for a roofer who takes care. We inspect, repair and replace roofs across Rome and Floyd County, and a live person answers 24/7.

Saddle Mountain Road (2024)
We circled the damaged and creased shingles in chalk next to the skylight and photographed each slope for the insurance claim.

We check siding, soffit and fascia along with the roof, because wind and water damage rarely stops at the shingles.
What we see on Rome roofs
Old houses, older roofs
About 1 in 10 Rome homes was built before 1940, and the city’s largest single decade of construction was the 1970s. Older homes often mean original decking and several layers of past repairs.
Historic district roof rules
Between the Rivers, East Rome, Avenue A, Oakdene and College Heights follow the city’s preservation guidelines. They call for keeping the original roof form and materials and never changing a historic roof’s pitch. We plan repairs to match.
Slate, tile and metal
The city’s guidelines point owners of slate, clay tile and wood shingle roofs to National Park Service preservation briefs, and they warn that asphalt products corrode metal and should never be used to patch a metal roof or its flashing.
Hills, rivers and big trees
Rome sits where the Etowah and Oostanaula rivers meet, with wooded hills. Falling trees are a big part of storm damage here: in June 2025, storms snapped and uprooted trees along Ramblewood Drive in Silver Creek.

Rome roofing FAQs
I live in a Rome historic district. Can I replace my roof?
Yes, but the city’s guidelines ask that you keep the original roof form and materials and not change the pitch. We plan the work around those guidelines and help you choose matching materials.
Should a metal roof be patched with roofing tar?
No. Rome’s preservation guidelines warn that asphalt products corrode metal. Metal roofs and flashing should be repaired with compatible metal and fasteners.
My older house has a very steep roof. Is that a problem?
No. We set up the right safety equipment and plan the tear-off and material delivery around your property.
A tree came down on my roof. What should I do?
Stay out of rooms under the damage and call 404-474-4222, any time. We tarp the opening, photograph everything for your insurance claim, then schedule the repair.

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…
