Roofing for a Historic Railroad Town
Union Point wears its history openly. Laid out in 1834 where two rail lines met and later built up around the Chipman-Union hosiery mill, the town’s core is a National Register historic district lined with Victorian-era homes, old churches, and early-1900s houses. Roofs on homes of that age carry the traits that come with the years: steep and intricate rooflines, decorative detailing, and older flashing (the metal that seals the joints around chimneys, dormers, and valleys) that tends to be the first thing to let water through as it wears out. Filing a storm claim? Here is how to get insurance to pay for a roof replacement.
For a lot of Union Point homeowners, the roof overhead has been up a long time, and the problems we’re called for reflect that. Cracked and curling shingles that have given up their protective granules, leaks that have quietly tracked along the decking (the wood layer beneath the shingles) before showing up on a ceiling, and flashing that has rusted or pulled loose are the everyday realities of an older housing stock. Add Georgia’s storm seasons and the mature trees common on these in-town lots, and even a sound older roof can take limb and wind damage that needs a quick, competent fix. Dealing with a drip? Our guide covers what to know about roof leaks and how to respond.
ProShield knows how to work on homes like these, with the patience an older roof calls for and the honest assessment that tells you what actually needs doing.

Questions Homeowners Ask
This is usually caused by strong wind gusts blowing at high velocity that lift your home’s roof shingles, rip them away, and leave your residence vulnerable to water damage from roof leaks and more wind lift.
Our contractors will work to replace or repair any broken shingles, patch up the torn membrane, and do a full or partial replacement if needed.
While rain alone seldom causes damage to your roof, water may go through pre-existing weak spots, such as cracked shingles and missing tiles, into your roof structure and house.
Water damage requires immediate attention. Our storm damage experts will start by determining the extent of the water damage. They will then conduct emergency repairs to prevent further damage by sealing leaks and repairing the flashing, roof membrane, and gutters.
Impact damage to your home occurs when high winds cause trees, equipment, or other heavy debris to fall on a roof and destroy the shingles, tiles, and roofing frame. This puts your house at the most risk of severe roof and structural damage.
For severe impact damage, we often need to replace the entire roof. However, if only one roof plane is damaged, we can also do a partial roof replacement or repair the roof if the type of damage is minor enough.
Hail damage is one of the most difficult to identify on roofs and can go unnoticed for a while. It often manifests as bent pipes, damaged vents, and missing shingles.
Our roof contractors will conduct a thorough inspection to uncover the extent of the damage and repair it.

Contact your insurance company as soon as possible to report storm-related damages and file a claim. Ensure that you have comprehensive images of every area the storm has affected, whether a structural component, a decorative element, or a piece of furniture. ProShield will provide you with a full photo report of your roof.
Be accurate and honest when filing a claim with your provider. If an insurance agent learns upon investigation that the information you provided is inaccurate, they may deny all or a part of your claim.
When submitting your claim, do not limit it to storm-related damages; add the expense of your interim living arrangements. Keep the receipt and present it to your insurer if you paid for any home repairs.
