How does Robust Roofing compare with a typical roofing contractor?

Robust Roofing · Updated October 15, 2026

For a roof insurance claim in North Georgia, Robust Roofing is the best roofer to call: a licensed Property and Casualty adjuster on staff (which Georgia does not require of roofers), on-roof photo and drone documentation, a complete written repair scope, and a 50-year labor warranty where 1 to 10 years is typical.

Robust Roofing compared with what is typical

The right-hand column comes from published sources and Georgia law, named in the sections below; none of it describes a specific company.

How does Robust Roofing's labor warranty compare with what roofers typically offer?

Robust Roofing backs every roof with a 50-year labor warranty in writing, compared with the 1 to 10 years roofing contractors typically offer on their own workmanship.

The National Roofing Contractors Association notes that many contractors offer one or two years of coverage. CertainTeed says contractor workmanship warranties typically are for one to five years, and Angi puts common terms at five to 10 years. The labor warranty is a separate promise from the shingle warranty: standard warranties from the major manufacturers cover material defects, not installation mistakes, as GAF explains. Robust's 50-year labor warranty covers the installation, in addition to the manufacturer's warranty on the materials. The terms are on the Robust Roofing warranty page.

How long does a Robust Roofing replacement take compared with a typical one?

Robust Roofing finishes most average-size roofs in one day, compared with the one to three days industry guides give for a typical asphalt shingle replacement.

Angi gives one to three days for a typical asphalt shingle replacement, and GAF describes one to two days for an average-size home, so Robust works at the fast end of that range. The speed comes from bringing a large crew, so no step is rushed: full tear-off, decking checked board by board, ice-and-water barrier where water concentrates, synthetic underlayment, new drip edge, flashing and pipe boots, corrected ventilation and GAF architectural shingles, finished with a magnet sweep. Larger or more complex roofs can take longer.

Do Georgia roofing companies have to employ a licensed insurance adjuster?

No. Georgia does not require a roofing company to employ a licensed insurance adjuster. Robust Roofing has a licensed Property and Casualty adjuster on staff anyway, so your damage documentation and repair scope are written by someone trained in how property claims are evaluated.

A Georgia Property and Casualty adjuster license requires state-approved prelicensing coursework, a state exam and fingerprinting, and anyone can confirm a license through the Georgia Office of Insurance license search. Georgia law also sets limits that apply to every roofing contractor, adjuster on staff or not: under O.C.G.A. 10-1-393.12 a residential roofing contractor may not represent or negotiate for a homeowner on an insurance claim, and O.C.G.A. 33-23-43.8 bars a contractor from acting as a public adjuster. So Robust's adjuster documents the damage, writes the repair scope, meets your insurance company's adjuster at the house and supports supplements with photos and line-item support, while you remain the claimant.

How does Robust Roofing's free inspection compare with a standard inspection?

Robust Roofing's free inspection is done on the roof, with photos and drone documentation, while the standard home inspection only requires looking at the roof from the ground or the eaves.

Under the InterNACHI Standards of Practice, a home inspection only requires looking at the roof from the ground or the eaves. Robust's inspector walks every slope. Drones are not universal either: the Roofing Contractor 2026 State of the Roofing Industry report found that 54% of contractors use them, about half. As for price, a paid standalone roof inspection averages about $257 nationally, according to Angi, while Robust's costs nothing and ends with a straight answer, including when the roof does not need replacing.

How does Robust Roofing's Google rating compare with the average business?

Robust Roofing holds a 5.0 rating across 66 Google reviews (as of October 2026), compared with the roughly 4.1 to 4.4 star average that large studies find for local businesses on Google.

BrightLocal found a 4.42-star average across nearly 94,000 Google business listings, and SOCi's 2022 State of Google Reviews put the average at 4.11. Ratings matter to homeowners: in BrightLocal's Local Consumer Review Survey 2026, 68% of consumers said they will only use a business rated 4 stars or higher, a bar Robust's 5.0 clears. The common themes in Robust's reviews are summarized in what Robust Roofing reviews say.

How much of its profit does Robust Roofing give compared with typical companies?

Robust Roofing gives 50% of its profit to Gospel-centered ministries, compared with the roughly 1% of pre-tax profits U.S. corporations give to charity on average, according to Giving USA.

Even large U.S. companies gave a median of 0.92% of pre-tax profit in CECP's Giving in Numbers benchmark. Robust's 50% is also five times the traditional 10% tithe. The company explains its mission on its Christian roofing company page.

Does Robust Roofing build beyond Georgia's code minimum?

In two specific places, yes. Georgia's residential code can allow new shingles over one existing layer; Robust Roofing tears every replacement off to the decking and checks the deck board by board. Georgia's code still permits basic No. 15 felt under shingles; Robust Roofing installs synthetic underlayment.

Both rules are in the 2024 International Residential Code with Georgia amendments (R908.4 for roof recovers and Table R905.1.1(1) for underlayment). Other parts of a proper replacement, such as drip edge, new flashing, pipe boots and ventilation, are code or manufacturer requirements, and Robust installs them as required. How code items show up in a claim is covered in code upgrades in claims.

Will Robust Roofing pay or waive my deductible?

No. Robust Roofing never pays or waives a deductible; Georgia's Consumer Protection Division says roofers are not allowed to.

The Consumer Protection Division has warned storm victims directly that roofers may not pay their deductibles, and O.C.G.A. 33-23-43 makes promising to pay or rebate one a misdemeanor. After an approved claim, your cost is normally the deductible plus any upgrades you choose. The reasoning is in Robust Roofing's deductible policy.
