Sure Thing Roofing
Atlas Pro+, HAAG Certified, BBB A+, ScotchGard Specialist — credentials that protect Peachtree City homeowners on every job.
Any roofing contractor can print business cards. Credentials are different. They require training, testing, volume, accountability, and ongoing performance — and they are issued by third parties who have no financial stake in flattering you. This page explains every certification and accreditation Sure Thing Roofing Contractor holds, what each one actually means, and why it matters when someone is about to put a new roof on your home.
We hold these credentials not because they look impressive in a brochure, but because each one represents a standard of quality that protects you as a homeowner. Read each section carefully. Then ask any other contractor you are considering the same questions. The answers will tell you a great deal.

Atlas Pro+ is an Atlas Roofing Corporation certification held by only a small percentage of roofing contractors nationwide.
Atlas Roofing Corporation is one of the largest and most respected shingle manufacturers in the United States. They do not hand out their top certification to any contractor who asks. To earn and maintain Atlas Pro+ status, a roofing company must demonstrate consistent installation volume, pass technical training requirements, maintain an active safety program, and meet ongoing performance standards — including customer satisfaction benchmarks.
That process filters out a large portion of the roofing market. The Atlas Pro+ credential is a meaningful signal that the contractor installing your roof knows what they are doing, has done it at scale, and has been evaluated by the manufacturer whose products they are installing.
What it means for your roof: Because Sure Thing Roofing Contractor is Atlas Pro+ certified, we can offer you the Atlas Lifetime Limited Warranty — one of the most comprehensive roofing warranties available. This is a lifetime warranty on materials backed by Atlas Roofing Corporation directly. It is also transferable if you sell your home, which means it adds real, demonstrable value to your property.
A standard roofing contractor installing the same Atlas shingles cannot offer this warranty. The Atlas Pro+ designation is what unlocks it — and that difference can be worth thousands of dollars if you ever need to make a warranty claim, or tens of thousands of dollars in buyer confidence if your home ever goes on the market.
Learn more about what the Atlas Pro+ certification means for your specific roof on our Atlas Pro+ Specialist page. You can also review our full residential roofing services to see how this credential is applied across every job we do.
A ScotchGard Specialist is certified to install Atlas shingles with 3M ScotchGard algae-resistance protection built directly into the shingle — an important advantage in Georgia's humid climate.
If you have ever seen a roof with dark streaks running down the shingles, you have seen the result of algae growth. In Georgia's heat and humidity, this is not a cosmetic problem that slowly develops over decades. Algae colonizes roofs relatively quickly in our climate, and it does more than look bad. Algae damage reduces the reflectivity of your shingles, which raises your home's heat load. Over time, unchecked algae growth degrades the shingle surface itself, shortening the life of your roof and voiding certain manufacturer warranties.
What makes ScotchGard different: ScotchGard technology — developed by 3M, one of the world's most trusted materials science companies — uses copper-based granules embedded in the shingle manufacturing process. This is not a topical spray applied after installation. The protection is built into the shingle at the factory. It works continuously over the life of the roof, slowly releasing copper ions that prevent algae from taking hold in the first place.
As a certified ScotchGard Specialist, Sure Thing Roofing Contractor installs Atlas shingles with this protection to the manufacturer's exact specifications. That matters because improper installation — wrong nailing patterns, improper overlap, incorrect sealing — can compromise even the best materials. Our ScotchGard Specialist certification verifies that we know exactly how to install these products correctly.
For Peachtree City, Fayetteville, Newnan, and the surrounding communities — all in Georgia's humid subtropical climate — ScotchGard-protected shingles are not a luxury upgrade. They are a smart investment in a roof that will look and perform the way it should for its full rated lifespan. Learn more about ScotchGard-protected installations on our ScotchGard Specialist page.
BBB Accreditation means the business has passed a background check, agreed to BBB's code of ethical conduct, and committed to resolving customer complaints — and an A+ rating is the highest grade BBB issues.
The Better Business Bureau has been evaluating business practices for over a century. BBB accreditation is not automatic — a business must apply, pass a vetting process that includes a background check on the business and its principals, and agree to uphold BBB's standards for ethical advertising and customer complaint resolution. A business that fails to respond to or resolve customer complaints loses its accreditation.
What the A+ rating means: BBB scores businesses on a scale from A+ to F, based on factors that include time in business, complaint history, complaint resolution record, licensing verification, and transparency. An A+ rating is the highest grade BBB issues. It is not purchased — it is earned through demonstrated business conduct over time. Sure Thing Roofing Contractor has maintained its A+ rating since accreditation, which reflects more than a decade of operating transparently and resolving issues when they arise.
How to verify: BBB accreditation and ratings are publicly searchable. Visit BBB.org and search "Sure Thing Roofing Contractor" or "Storm Doctors Inc" to see our current standing, full complaint history, and accreditation status in real time. We encourage you to check — a contractor with nothing to hide welcomes transparency.
The BBB A+ accreditation, combined with more than 60 five-star Google reviews, gives you two independent sources of verification that this company treats customers the right way. You can also review our roof maintenance services to understand how we approach long-term customer relationships beyond the initial project.
HAAG Certified inspectors are trained to identify and document storm damage using the same methodology that insurance adjusters recognize and accept — which makes the difference between a successful claim and a denied one.
HAAG Engineering is one of the most respected engineering and forensic consulting firms in the roofing and insurance industries. Their inspection certification program trains roofing professionals to assess storm damage — hail, wind, impact — using standardized protocols that insurance carriers understand. When a HAAG Certified inspector documents damage on your roof, that documentation is presented in a format adjusters are specifically trained to evaluate.
Why this matters after a storm: After a hail event or severe storm hits Peachtree City, Fayetteville, or any of the surrounding communities we serve, homeowners often face a difficult situation. They can see damage or suspect damage, but they do not know how to document it properly. An adjuster may visit and issue a partial claim — or deny the claim entirely — based on their own assessment. Without HAAG Certified documentation of your own, you have limited recourse.
A HAAG Certified inspector from Sure Thing Roofing Contractor walks your roof before the adjuster arrives, documents every finding with detailed measurements, photographs, and industry-standard terminology, and is prepared to be present during the adjuster's visit to walk through the findings together. This process gives your insurance claim a documented professional foundation that adjusters respect and understand.
This is not about inflating claims or working the system — it is about making sure legitimate storm damage is properly identified and submitted so you receive the coverage you have been paying for. Learn more about our full insurance claim support process on the Insurance Claim Assistance page. If you suspect your roof was damaged in a recent storm, the right first step is a no-cost roof inspection by a HAAG Certified inspector.
Licensed, bonded, and insured are three separate protections — each one matters independently, and together they determine whether you, the homeowner, are financially protected if something goes wrong during your roofing project.
Licensed: In Georgia, roofing contractors must meet state licensing requirements to operate legally. A license means the contractor has demonstrated minimum competency standards and is registered with the state, which means there is a record and a process for accountability. Hiring an unlicensed contractor is not just risky — in many cases it voids your homeowner's insurance coverage for the project entirely. Sure Thing Roofing Contractor is fully licensed to operate in the State of Georgia.
Bonded: A contractor's bond is a form of financial guarantee. If a contractor fails to complete contracted work or causes damage that they refuse to repair, the bond provides a mechanism for homeowners to recover losses. It is essentially a financial backstop that holds the contractor accountable beyond just their word. Without bonding, a homeowner's only recourse against a contractor who fails to deliver is a lawsuit — an expensive, slow, and uncertain path.
Insured: This is the protection most homeowners care about most, and rightly so. If a crew member is injured on your property and the contractor is not properly insured, you may be liable for those medical costs under Georgia premises liability law. If the contractor carries workers' compensation and general liability insurance — as Sure Thing Roofing Contractor does — you are protected. Before any work begins, we provide a current certificate of insurance upon request. We encourage every homeowner to ask for it from any contractor they hire.
How to verify: Ask any roofing contractor for their current certificate of insurance before signing a contract. A legitimate contractor will produce it without hesitation. Ask specifically for both general liability and workers' compensation coverage. If a contractor cannot or will not provide this documentation, that is a significant warning sign — regardless of how competitive their price may be.
