Roof Replacement in Marietta, GA the Way It Should Be Done
A roof replacement isn't just new shingles on top. It's a chance to fix every shortcut the original builder took, get the ventilation right, replace any rotted decking, and put a system on your house that lasts 25 to 30 years instead of 15. Most replacements we do in Cobb County are catching up on what the builder left undone in 1998.
We tear off, never roof over. We use synthetic underlayment, ice-and-water shield in valleys and at eaves, and lifetime architectural shingles from GAF or CertainTeed. Backed by manufacturer warranty plus our $30,000 written workmanship guarantee.
What's Actually In a Real Roof Replacement
Full tear-off down to the deck
We pull every shingle, every nail, and the old underlayment. Then we walk the deck looking for soft spots, gaps, or water-damaged sheathing. Anything bad gets replaced before the new roof goes back on. Roof-overs hide problems and trap heat. We don't do them.
Synthetic underlayment, full coverage
We use synthetic in place of old felt. It doesn't tear in the wind, doesn't wrinkle in heat, and adds real waterproofing instead of just acting as a slip layer.
Ice and water shield in the right places
Self-adhered membrane in every valley, at the eaves, and around every penetration. Belt-and-suspenders waterproofing in the spots where roofs always fail first.
Drip edge, starter strip, and proper field nailing
Drip edge along every eave and rake. Starter strip at the bottom course so the first row is sealed. Six-nail pattern in high-wind zones, four-nail elsewhere, all to manufacturer spec.
Architectural shingles with a lifetime warranty
GAF Timberline HDZ or CertainTeed Landmark Pro as our standards. Both are limited lifetime warranty shingles with 130 mph wind ratings and algae-resistant granules.
Real attic ventilation
Continuous ridge vent paired with soffit intake, sized to the attic square footage. Bad ventilation is why most roofs fail at year 15 instead of year 30. We re-do this on almost every replacement.
How Long a Roof Replacement Takes
Most single-family homes in Cobb County take 1 to 2 days. Larger custom homes 3 to 4. We tear off and dry in the same day every time, so your home is never exposed overnight. Tarps and emergency dry-in for any weather that surprises us.
What Roof Replacement Costs in Cobb County
Most architectural shingle replacements run $4.50 to $7.00 per square foot of roof area, fully installed. A typical 2,500 square foot home with a moderate roof pitch usually lands between $12,000 and $22,000 depending on access, pitch, decking condition, and ventilation work. Standing seam metal runs $10 to $16 per square foot installed and lasts twice as long.
We give a written line-item quote with materials specified, scope laid out, and timeline included. The number doesn't change unless you change the scope or we find decking damage you wanted documented.
Financing
We offer 0% financing for qualified buyers and longer-term plans through GreenSky and Hearth. Most replacements can be financed with no money down and monthly payments structured to fit your budget.
The $30,000 Workmanship Guarantee
We back every replacement with a $30,000 written workmanship guarantee for ten years. That's not the manufacturer warranty (which is separate and lifetime on the materials). That's a written promise from us that if anything we did causes a problem, we make it right or pay up to $30,000 to have someone else do it. Family-owned, locally based, and we'll be here to honor it.
