A roof at the end of its life doesn't always leak first. It sheds granules into your gutters, curls at the edges and lets heat into your attic long before water shows up on a ceiling. By the time a stain appears, the decking underneath has often been wet for months.

Shelter Guard Roofing replaces roofs across Marietta and Cobb County with a full tear-off, new underlayment and a written scope you approve before we order the first shingle. No allowances, no surprise change orders once we're up there. If we find rotten decking, you see a photo of it and a price for the fix before we replace it.

Signs Your Marietta Roof Needs Replacing

One of these alone might mean a repair. Several together usually mean the roof is done.

✓Shingles past 18 to 20 years old, especially original 3-tab shingles on East Cobb homes built in the 70s through 90s
✓Heavy granule buildup in gutters and downspouts after every rain
✓Curling, cupping or missing shingles across multiple slopes, not just one spot
✓Daylight visible in the attic, or decking that feels soft underfoot
✓Repairs piling up faster than they used to, on different parts of the roof each time

Our Roof Replacement Options

Architectural asphalt shingles are the right call for most Marietta homes. They handle Georgia heat and spring hail better than 3-tab, carry stronger wind ratings and come in colors that match both older brick ranches and newer builds near Marietta Square.

We walk you through the real differences between shingle lines instead of pushing the most expensive one. If your home needs upgraded ventilation, new flashing or ice and water shield in the valleys, that's in the written scope with its own line item, so you know exactly what you're paying for and why.

Smaller problem first? We also handle roof repairs for single leaks and storm-damaged sections when a full replacement isn't needed yet.

Roof Replacement for Marietta Homes

Marietta roofs deal with a specific mix: hard summer sun, spring hail, and the oak and pine canopy that covers most of East Cobb. Homes near Sope Creek and in neighborhoods like Indian Hills shed pine needles year-round, which traps moisture on shingles and shortens their life. Newer high-pitch builds near the Square have complex valleys that fail early if the flashing work is sloppy.

We build for the house in front of us. Canopy-heavy lots get upgraded underlayment and clean valley work. Open lots that take the full brunt of hail get impact-rated shingle options priced side by side with standard ones, so you can decide if the insurance discount is worth it.

Shingle Options We Install, In Plain English

Standard architectural shingles carry the best price-to-life ratio for most Cobb County homes: 25 to 30 year expected life, strong wind ratings and a color range wide enough to match any brick or siding in East Cobb. This is the right default, and we'll say so even though it's the cheapest option on the sheet.

Impact-rated (Class 4) shingles cost more up front and shrug off the hail that dents standard shingles. In a hail market like Marietta, some insurers discount premiums for Class 4 roofs, which can pay back the difference over the roof's life. We price it next to standard so the math is yours to run, and we'll tell you what your insurer's discount actually is before you decide, not after.

Designer and premium lines exist for homes where the roof is part of the architecture, which describes plenty of Vinings and Marietta Square builds. If that's your house, we'll show you real installed examples nearby, not catalog photos.

Whatever you pick, the warranty gets registered in your name before we leave, and the workmanship behind it is ours. A shingle warranty means nothing if the installer skips the starter strips and drip edge it requires, which is exactly the kind of shortcut our job photos exist to rule out.

Roof Replacement Questions From Marietta Homeowners

How long does a full roof replacement take on a Marietta home?+

Most single-family roof replacements in Marietta are finished in one to two days, weather permitting. Larger homes and complex rooflines can take a day longer. You get a specific timeline in your written quote before any work starts.

Do I have to replace my whole roof, or can I just replace one section?+

You can replace one slope or section if the rest of the roof still has life in it. Our free inspection tells you which one makes sense. If a partial fix gets you five more years, that's what we quote.

What happens to my landscaping and driveway during a tear-off?+

We protect them before the first shingle comes off. Tarps cover beds and shrubs, plywood shields anything fragile, and a magnetic sweep pulls stray nails from the lawn and driveway when we finish.
