Winder was once a crossroads town called Jug Tavern. In 1893 it was renamed for John H. Winder, general manager of the Seaboard Air Line Railway. About 1 in 5 of its homes were built before 1970, and about 48% since 2000. Emergency Roofing Solutions inspects, tarps, repairs and replaces roofs across Winder and the surrounding Barrow County area, and a live person answers 24/7.

A new roof in the Winder area, just outside the city limits. We photographed the finished roof by drone in February 2023.

About 1 in 5 Winder homes were built before 1970. About 48% were built since 2000, so many subdivision roofs are now 17 to 26 years old.
Winder’s National Register listings include the North Broad Street Residential Historic District, with mostly 1890s–1930s bungalows, and the Athens-Candler-Church Street district. On older homes, we match the look of the existing roof.
On June 7, 2025, a large tree snapped and came down near a home on Eastmont Road, just outside Winder’s city limits. The same storms put trees on homes in nearby Hoschton and Monroe.
On April 10, 2025, quarter-size hail fell in the Hoschton area, and lightning struck a house on White Trillium Drive, leaving a large hole in the roof.

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. On older homes, we match the look of the original roof.
Nearby, we also work in Hoschton, Braselton, Dacula, Loganville and Lawrenceville. See all areas we serve.

It may be, if it’s still the original roof. A free inspection shows its condition and whether a repair or a replacement makes more sense.
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.

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
