Roofs in 30145 (Kingston, GA): home ages, storms and what to plan for
About 3,364 homes stand in 30145 (Kingston, GA). The largest share was built in the 1990s (30%), and about 66% are old enough that the original roof would be at or past the typical life of an asphalt shingle roof in Georgia.
When homes here were built
85% of homes are single-family detached houses and 90% of occupied homes are owner-occupied; the median owner-occupied home value is about $222,200.
Most homes here are old enough to be on a second or even third roof. That changes what matters at replacement time: decking that has been nailed through twice, flashing that may have been reused before, and attic ventilation that was never brought up to current practice. See roof decking and ventilation basics.
