Why Choose Shingle Roofing
Athens is the Clarke County hub of northeast Georgia and home to the University of Georgia — a city of ~125,000 with a housing stock that spans almost 200 years. Crest Roofing & Gutters works Athens from our Jackson base about two hours northeast. Every Athens install gets GAF architectural shingles to manufacturer’s full installation spec, with our 10-year workmanship warranty.

Built for Georgia Homes
Athens housing eras: antebellum and Victorian homes around UGA’s historic district, mill-era worker cottages near Boulevard, mid-century brick ranches throughout central neighborhoods, and 1990s-2010s subdivisions along the perimeter. Each era requires a different install approach.
ProfessionalInstallation Matters
Install quality decides shingle roof life. We follow manufacturer install spec on every Athens job — six nails per shingle, hand-sealed starter, ice-and-water at valleys and penetrations, proper ventilation, careful step flashing on historic homes.
Long-TermValue
A properly-installed Athens shingle roof should last 25-30 years on a properly-ventilated attic. Historic homes can match that with careful install.
