The neighborhood
No HOA, big lots and simple ranches sum up Hickory Ridge, 55 lots platted in 1998 on the eastern side of the Braselton area, with homes on Hickory Bluff, Ashwood Lane and Maple Walk built mostly around 1999 and 2000. Most are three-bedroom ranches of about 1,200 to 1,500 square feet in vinyl or brick and vinyl, with a few larger homes on finished basements, set on lots from three quarters of an acre to nearly two acres, some sloped and at least one with a creek. Children attend West Jackson schools and Jackson County High.
Owners have been reroofing here for more than a decade, with replacements noted in 2014 and 2022, so roof ages now vary house to house. The newest question is the storm of September 5, 2026, with radar-estimated hail of up to about 1.25 inches across the Braselton zip. Robust Roofing serves Hickory Ridge and puts its 50-year labor warranty in writing on every replacement; according to the National Roofing Contractors Association, many contractors cover their own workmanship for one or two years. A simple ranch roof is usually a one-day job.

Hickory Ridge storm record
| Date | What hit Hickory Ridge | Source |
|---|---|---|
| September 5, 2026 | hail to 1.25 in (half-dollar size), wind to 60 mph | PSAI |
| April 10, 2025 | hail to 1.00 in (quarter size) near 1 miles NNE of Thompsons Mill | NWS |
PSAI = radar-estimated hail and wind swaths by zip code. NWS = National Weather Service local storm reports within a few miles. Based on zip code 30517. Hail of about one inch or more is the size most likely to damage asphalt shingles. Whether a roof qualifies for replacement depends on the inspection and your policy, and smaller hail can still bruise shingles that are already aging.
Roof work we handle in Hickory Ridge
Start with the inspection
Before anyone in Hickory Ridge calls their insurance company, the roof should be looked at by someone who knows what a covered loss looks like. We inspect for free, on the roof, photograph every slope, and explain whether what we see is storm damage, age, or nothing to worry about. Filing a claim for a roof that will not qualify only costs you a claim on your record, so the order matters.
The parts people forget
Gutters, downspouts, soffit, fascia, attic vents and skylights all affect how long a roof lasts, and storms damage them too. We check them on every Hickory Ridge inspection, include storm damage to them in the claim scope, and offer replacements and upgrades like gutter guards when the roof goes on. See gutters.
What a Robust Roofing replacement includes
Everything a roof system needs, not just shingles: tear-off and disposal, decking repairs priced per sheet, ice-and-water barrier where water concentrates, synthetic underlayment across the field (Georgia's code still permits basic No. 15 felt), new drip edge, step and counter flashing, pipe boots, ridge ventilation sized to the attic, and GAF architectural shingles installed by a certified crew. Hickory Ridge homeowners typically get a one-day install on an average roof and a 50-year labor warranty in writing on the installation itself, which standard manufacturer shingle warranties do not cover. Our replacement page covers the details; the replacement day guide covers the hours.
Small leaks, a few shingles, and emergency tarping
Robust Roofing is not only for full replacements. In Hickory Ridge we fix small leaks, replace a few missing or creased shingles, swap a cracked pipe boot, and redo the flashing detail that let water in. After a storm or a fallen limb we put an emergency tarp on properly, photograph the damage, and then make the permanent repair. Every repair starts with a free inspection and photos, and if the shingles are past the point where a repair will last, you hear that before you spend anything. See roof repair and emergency roof repair.
If a storm hit your roof
Hail does not have to look dramatic to total a roof. Bruised mats lose granules, then crack, then leak, often a year or two later. Our job in Hickory Ridge is to find that damage while the claim window is open, document it properly, and back your claim with photos and a complete repair scope. A full-time licensed adjuster on our staff writes the scope and supplements deficient estimates. That is insurance help no other Georgia roofer can match. The most recent significant hail on record for Hickory Ridge fell on September 5, 2026 (1.25 in, half-dollar size), which is exactly the kind of event that deserves an inspection before the claim window closes.
Your out-of-pocket on an approved claim is normally your deductible, and only your deductible. We do not waive it (that is illegal in Georgia) and we do not inflate the scope to hide it. Details on how a claim moves.

“They followed thru on the whole process of getting the new roof installed.”
