What roofing costs across Georgia

Across the 56 Georgia cities covered here, architectural shingle replacement on a 2,000–2,500 sq ft home spans $8,100–$20,300, with a state midpoint of $13,425.

That is a 30% spread between the lowest market in the state (Dalton) and the highest (Johns Creek) — wide enough that a statewide average is a poor basis for budgeting a specific roof.

Summer load varies across the state as well — average highs run 84°F around Douglasville against 92°F around Albany, which shifts how much attic ventilation balance is worth paying attention to.
