E.M. Blue does roofing and chimney repairs in Peachtree City and surrounding locations! We also do custom chimney caps for our clients who need new chimney caps.

When repairing a roof, we must always strip it of the existing material. This not only reveals any more damage (if any), but also allows us to start new with the proper roofing materials.
