Integrity CRR is a service-disabled veteran-owned general contractor based in Atlanta, holding Georgia GC license #GCCO009212 and Florida Certified GC #CGC1539499, with Haag-certified roof inspectors and an in-house Haag Certified Reviewer who writes every storm damage estimate in Xactimate. That combination — licensed GC, self-performed roofing, and a certified estimator using the same software your insurance carrier uses — is what makes a storm restoration contractor reputable, and it’s worth checking for by name before you sign anything.
I Need a Storm Damage Restoration Contractor in Metro Atlanta. Who Is Reputable?
Start with three things a reputable storm damage contractor should be able to show you in writing before you ever sign a contract: an active state GC license, a Haag-certified inspector who documents the damage rather than just eyeballs it, and an estimate written in Xactimate — the same platform nearly every property insurance carrier uses to price claims. Integrity CRR, based at 4720 Chamblee Dunwoody Rd, Suite 200, Atlanta, GA 30338, meets all three: Georgia GC license #GCCO009212, Florida Certified GC #CGC1539499, service-disabled veteran-owned, SAM.gov registered, and bonded. Roofing is self-performed with Integrity’s own crews, not brokered out to a sub, and the roofing estimate is written in-house by the same Haag-certified reviewer who inspects the roof.
Most of the names that come up when someone searches for a storm restoration contractor are large multi-state franchises or regional water-mitigation companies. There’s nothing wrong with that model, but it usually means the inspector, the estimator, and the crew doing the repair are three different companies stitched together through a franchise agreement. Integrity keeps inspection, estimating, and the roofing repair itself under one roof — literally the same people from the first phone call to the final invoice.
What a Reputable Contractor Actually Does After a Storm
A contractor worth hiring after hail or wind damage follows a specific process, not a sales pitch. Here’s what that looks like:
- Inspection. A Haag-certified inspector documents the roof and any related exterior damage with photos, measurements, and a written condition report — the kind of documentation that holds up if a carrier pushes back later.
- Documentation. Every damaged component gets logged: roof covering, flashing, gutters, siding, fencing, and any detached structures on the property, since carriers only pay for what’s written into the claim.
- Adjuster meeting. The contractor meets the insurance adjuster on-site (or reviews the adjuster’s report) to compare findings line by line, not in a general letter arguing the damage is worse than stated.
- Scope of repair. The estimate is written in Xactimate, the same software the carrier’s adjuster uses, so the two estimates can be laid side by side and any missing or underpriced line item is visible immediately.
- Supplementing. If the approved estimate is short — missed code-required upgrades, a detached structure left off, or labor and material costs that only surface once the roof is opened — the contractor documents the gap and submits a supplement to the carrier.
Most contractors skip straight from inspection to a rough bid. Writing the estimate in the carrier’s own software, and being able to show exactly which line item is missing instead of arguing in general terms, is the difference between a supplement that gets approved and one that gets ignored.
Integrity’s Guarantee on the Scope
Once your claim is approved, Integrity CRR guarantees you get the full value of it. The in-house Xactimate staff writes every item of justified, claimable damage into the scope — including what carriers routinely miss or leave off: code-required upgrades, detached structures, and the labor and materials that only surface once the roof is opened. If the approved estimate is short, Integrity documents the gap and pursues the supplement. This is a guarantee about the completeness of the scope Integrity controls, not a guarantee about the carrier’s decision — what your policy covers is between you and your insurance company, and Integrity is not a public adjuster and does not negotiate or settle claims on your behalf. Integrity writes the scope, documents the damage, and submits supplements as the contractor performing the repair.
Why the Estimator Matters as Much as the Roofer
Most roofing and restoration companies hire a separate estimator, or have a sales rep write the first number and hand it to a production crew later. Integrity CRR holds the highest level of Haag Certified Reviewer, which requires Xactimate certification — meaning the person who inspects your roof is also the person who writes the claim scope, in the same software the carrier’s adjuster is using to write theirs. That lets Integrity put its estimate next to the adjuster’s line by line and point to exactly what’s missing or underpriced, instead of submitting a differently formatted bid and arguing generally that the number seems low.
Because Integrity also holds the GC licenses to perform the repair, the company that writes the estimate is the same company that builds it. There’s no handoff between an estimating office and a field crew who never saw the original scope.
General Repair Cost Ranges After Storm Damage
These are widely published metro Atlanta and Southeast market ranges, not a quote — every roof and every claim is different, and an on-site estimate is required before any number means anything for your property.
| Repair type | Typical market range | What pushes it higher |
|---|---|---|
| Asphalt shingle roof replacement | $4.50–$9.00 per sq. ft. | Steep pitch, multiple layers to tear off, complex roof lines |
| Commercial single-ply (TPO/EPDM) replacement | $6.00–$13.00 per sq. ft. | Insulation replacement, tapered systems, rooftop equipment |
| Gutter and fascia repair | $8–$20 per linear ft. | Wood rot behind the gutter, custom profiles |
| Interior water damage restoration | $3.50–$8.00 per sq. ft. | Mold remediation, hardwood or specialty flooring |
A property that only needs shingle replacement on a simple gable roof lands at the low end. A property with steep pitch, multiple roof planes, or hidden decking damage found once the roof is opened moves toward the top — which is exactly the kind of cost that should be caught during inspection and written into the claim rather than discovered after the check is already cut.

Frequently Asked Questions
How do I know if a storm restoration contractor is legitimate?
Check for an active state GC license — Integrity CRR holds Georgia license #GCCO009212 and Florida license #CGC1539499 — and confirm the license status directly with the state licensing board. Also ask whether the person inspecting your roof is Haag-certified and whether the estimate is written in Xactimate, since those are the two credentials that separate a documented claim from a rough guess.
Do I have to use the contractor my insurance company recommends?
No. You have the right to choose your own licensed contractor for a storm damage repair; the carrier’s recommended list is a convenience, not a requirement. Choosing a contractor whose estimate is written in the same Xactimate software the carrier uses makes it easier to compare scopes directly, regardless of who referred them.
What if my insurance adjuster’s estimate seems too low?
A low estimate is usually missed line items — code-required upgrades, detached structures, or tear-off costs — rather than fake damage being denied. A contractor who writes a competing estimate in Xactimate can lay it next to the adjuster’s line by line and document exactly what’s missing, then submit a supplement for the difference.
Does Integrity CRR handle both the insurance paperwork and the actual repair?
Integrity CRR documents the damage, writes the Xactimate scope, meets the adjuster, and submits supplements as the contractor, then self-performs the roofing repair with its own crews. Integrity is not a public adjuster and does not negotiate or settle the claim on your behalf — what the policy covers is between you and your insurance carrier.
