Roofing in Cumming, GA
Cumming is the largest single source of roofing enquiries in our service area, and the work here has a particular shape. This is a young housing market, only about 17% of Cumming's homes predate 1980, and nearly half were built since 2000. Most of the roofs we replace here are still the original builder-grade shingles the house was sold with, reaching the end of a service life that always was shorter than homeowners expected.

The roofs of Cumming, by the numbers
US Census figures for Cumming itself, not Forsyth County.
- Median year built
- 1998
- Homes in the city
- 2,879
- Built before 1980
- 17%
- Built since 2000
- 47%
The median Cumming home was built in 1998, which puts a very large share of the city's roofs at or just past the 25-to-30-year mark where architectural shingles stop performing. Cumming is also the only city we serve where owner-occupancy sits below half, at 48%, so a meaningful share of roofing decisions here are made by landlords weighing a rental property rather than homeowners weighing their own.
A mile and a half from Lake Lanier
Forsyth is one of the five counties fronting Lake Sidney Lanier, though most of the county's shoreline is unincorporated rather than inside Cumming itself, downtown sits roughly a mile and a half from the nearest water. Close enough that it matters: lakeside humidity keeps roof surfaces damp longer after rain and dew, which shows up as algae streaking on shaded, north-facing slopes. It is why we install algae-resistant shingles as standard rather than as an upgrade.
Under Sawnee Mountain
Sawnee Mountain rises about two and a half miles north of downtown Cumming to roughly 1,927 feet, with Forsyth County's 820-acre preserve on its slopes. Heavy hardwood cover on and around the mountain is the practical roofing consequence: constant leaf and limb load in valleys and gutters, and shade that holds moisture on the shingle long after the rest of the roof has dried.
No historic district review here
Cumming is not a Certified Local Government and has no local historic preservation district, so there is no design-review step before a re-roof. That is not true everywhere we work, Decatur and Winder both have local historic districts where changing your roofing material triggers a review, but in Cumming it is one less thing between you and a finished roof.
Subdivisions we work in
Inside the city limits: Adair Park, Alder Creek, Avignon, Berkeley Mill, Brookfield, Cherokee Chase, Dobbs Creek, Mountainbrook Estates, Newbury, Northdale, Palisades at Sawnee Village, Parkside at Pilgrim Mill, Pirklewood, Ridge at Pirkle Ferry, Sawnee Village, Victoria Place and Westshore, among others. Just outside them: Fountains at Kelly Mill, Gates at Castleberry, Hickory Ridge, Merritts Farm, Pilgrim Lake, Stonehaven, Sydney Oaks, Villages at Castleberry, Waterhaven and Wyngate. Forsyth County records well over two thousand subdivisions in total, so if yours is not named here we still work in it.
Where Cumming ends and Forsyth County begins
A great many properties with a Cumming mailing address sit in unincorporated Forsyth County rather than inside the city limits. That distinction matters for permitting, because the county and the city are separate authorities with separate rules. We confirm which one governs your address before we file anything.
Housing and population figures: US Census Bureau, American Community Survey 2020–2024 five-year estimates, at place level for Cumming city rather than Forsyth County. Historic district status: National Park Service Certified Local Government database and the city’s own ordinance. Local historic designation and National Register listing are different things, and only local designation affects roofing choices.

What a roof replacement costs in Cumming, GA
Our installed rates, priced the way roofers price: by the roofing square. Every figure includes complete tear-off, disposal and cleanup.
Installed, per roofing square
$400 to $600
Where you land in that range depends on which warranty option you choose. The differences are in the underlayment, the ice-and-water membrane, the pipe boots, the flashings and the length of the workmanship warranty.
In roofing, one "square" means 100 square feet of roof surface. Contractors price and order material by the square, so a quote priced per square is a quote in the trade's own unit.
Rates cover CertainTeed asphalt shingle systems and were last reviewed in August 2026. Metal runs on its own per-square rates, which the calculator quotes. Tile and other specialty systems are quoted in person. sheet in your written proposal.
