Lilburn Roof Replacement: What a 2,192 Sq. Ft. Roof Actually Costs

The project at a glance

This Lilburn, GA roof replacement was a full system swap — not a patch, not a repair, not a bandaid. The existing roof was around 16 years old and had severe granule loss, torn and damaged shingles, nail pops, missing shingles, soft spots, previous repair damage, and a damaged area above the front entry.

The shingles were too brittle to safely work around. Trying to lift them for a repair would have cracked and creased them, creating more damage in the process. Jake Hamby, the project manager on this job, made the call: replacement was the right move, not another round of repairs chasing a failing system.

Roof measurements and dimensions

EagleView measurements were used on this project. A roofing square is 100 square feet — so a 2,192 sq. ft. roof is about 21.9 squares. That distinction matters when you're comparing quotes: some contractors talk in squares, some in square feet, and the numbers can look very different depending on which you're reading.

What went into the price

The $10,826 final cost covered a full roofing system — not just shingles. It included removing the old roof and disposing of the old materials, installing the new roofing system, replacing key accessories, addressing ventilation, installing new flashing materials (including pipe boots), handling the low-slope roofing sections, providing a decking allowance, managing the jobsite, and cleaning up after the build.

Materials installed on this roof

This roof was installed with TAMKO Titan XT architectural shingles in Rustic Black. Every accessory was TAMKO to qualify for the DiamondShield Enhanced Limited Warranty.

Why this roof couldn't be repaired

A roof can have one missing shingle and be a perfectly reasonable repair. But when the entire system is brittle, worn down, losing granules, and showing multiple failure points, repairing one spot doesn't solve the real problem.

This roof had nail pops creating water entry points, missing shingles, severe granule loss, exposed matting, previous repair damage, and soft spots suggesting possible decking issues underneath. The shingles were also too brittle to safely manipulate — lifting the surrounding shingles to make a proper repair would have cracked and creased them, creating more damage around whatever was being fixed.

Jake Hamby determined the roof was no longer in working order and needed to be replaced. A good roof inspection should answer more than just "can we patch this?" — it should answer whether a repair will actually protect the home long-term. For this home, the answer was replacement.

The warranty

This roof was registered with the TAMKO DiamondShield Enhanced Limited Warranty. Because the installed system included TAMKO shingles plus TAMKO accessory products (hip and ridge, starter, synthetic underlayment, moisture protection), the contract included:

• 50-year material protection
• 25-year workmanship/labor coverage

That's why the full system approach matters. A stronger warranty usually depends on more than just the shingle brand — it depends on the accessories used, the installation method, and whether the contractor follows the manufacturer's requirements.

Why roof prices in Lilburn can vary

This 2,192 sq. ft. roof cost $10,826, but that doesn't mean every roof in Lilburn will price the same. Roof replacement pricing changes based on the roof size, pitch, access, number of layers, shingle type, decking condition, amount of flashing, ventilation needs, roof penetrations, and whether there are low-slope sections.

A simple roof with easy access isn't going to price the same as a steep roof with multiple valleys, wall sections, skylights, chimney flashing, rotted decking, and tight access. That's why a real measurement and inspection matter. Square foot pricing is helpful for understanding the project, but it doesn't tell the full story by itself.

For homeowners in Lilburn, GA, this is a real-world example of what a full Lilburn roof replacement can cost when the job includes more than just shingles.
