Roofing Built for Marietta’s Homes
Marietta’s housing runs from the antebellum and Victorian homes around the historic Square to the sprawling brick-front subdivisions of East Cobb and the newer construction pushing out through West Cobb toward Powder Springs and Dallas. Most of it wears architectural asphalt shingle — and after fifteen or twenty Georgia summers, plus the county’s regular hail, a lot of it is due for attention.
As one of the roofing companies serving Marietta, GA, we handle everything from a single storm-torn shingle to a full replacement. We work throughout Cobb — East Cobb, West Cobb, the Kennesaw and Smyrna lines, Fair Oaks, and the neighborhoods around Kennesaw Mountain — always starting with a free, no-pressure inspection.
Roof Repair
Leaks, wind damage, cracked flashing, and worn pipe boots fixed before they reach your drywall.
Roof Replacement
Fresh architectural-shingle and metal systems installed by trained crews, backed by manufacturer and workmanship warranties.
Storm & Hail Damage
Cobb County is hail country. We document every strike and help you file a strong insurance claim.
Why Cobb Gets Hit
North Georgia’s Hail Alley
Cobb County and the northwest metro see some of the heaviest hail activity in Georgia. Spring storms build over Alabama and the North Georgia foothills, then drop hail as they cross Marietta and Kennesaw. Even pea- to quarter-sized stones bruise asphalt shingles, strip protective granules, and fracture the mat underneath — damage that quietly ages your roof years before a leak appears.
Because so many claims in this area trace back to hail, timing matters. We inspect for free after a storm, document the damage with photos, and meet your adjuster on-site. If the storm is covered, you may owe only your deductible.
Materials for the Long Haul
Shingles, Metal & Ventilation
Marietta’s heat and humidity are as hard on a roof as its storms. We install systems that hold up:
- Algae-resistant architectural shingles to fight the black streaks common on shaded East Cobb roofs
- Standing-seam metal that sheds hail and lasts 40–70 years
- Upgraded ridge vents and attic ventilation to pull trapped heat out of your attic

Local Knowledge
What We See on Marietta Roofs
Marietta is the Cobb County seat, and its roofs tell the story of how the city grew. The Church Street and Whitlock Avenue historic corridors near the Square still carry steep Victorian gables and metal porch roofs over aged decking. Push east toward Johnson Ferry Road and Indian Hills and you find 1970s and 1980s split-levels and traditionals, many already reroofed once and wearing a second layer of asphalt shingle. Out past Kennesaw Mountain toward Dallas Highway, newer craftsman-style subdivisions carry architectural shingle that is only now reaching its first real inspection age.
Weather is the constant. Spring squall lines cross Cobb from the west, and it is the combination of hail and straight-line wind that does the most damage: bruised shingles on the west- and south-facing slopes, lifted tabs along ridges, and gutters full of granules the next morning. Summer brings heavy afternoon downpours and heat that cooks poorly vented attics under the tree canopy of Sope Creek and Powers Ferry.
From our metro Atlanta base we reach Marietta quickly, and we also serve Roswell, Sandy Springs, Vinings, Mableton, Austell, and Woodstock just across the Cherokee County line. If you are anywhere between Dobbins Air Reserve Base and the Chattahoochee, we can be there for a look.
Questions, Answered
Marietta Roofing FAQ
How much does a new roof cost in Marietta, GA?
Most Cobb County asphalt-shingle replacements run roughly $9,000–$22,000 depending on roof size, pitch, and materials. Larger East Cobb two-stories with steep or cut-up rooflines sit at the higher end. You’ll get an exact written price after a free inspection.
My neighbors filed hail claims — should I get checked?
Yes. Hail damage is often invisible from the ground, and if a storm hit your street it likely hit your roof too. We’ll inspect for free and tell you honestly whether there’s enough damage to justify a claim.
How long does a shingle roof last in Cobb County?
A quality architectural-shingle roof typically lasts 20–30 years here, but repeated hail, heavy shade, and poor attic ventilation can cut that short. A free inspection tells you where yours stands.
Do you work on historic homes near Marietta Square?
We do. The older homes around the Square often have steep pitches, aged decking, and detailed flashing that demand extra care, and our crews are equipped for it.
Do I need a permit to replace my roof in Marietta?
The City of Marietta and unincorporated Cobb County generally require a building permit for a full roof replacement, along with the inspections that go with it; most small repairs do not. We pull the permit as part of the job, schedule the inspection, and close it out so the paperwork is clean if you ever sell the house. If you live in an East Cobb subdivision with a homeowners association, we can also supply the shingle color and product sheet for architectural approval before we order material.
When is hail season in Cobb County, and when should I schedule an inspection?
Most hail in Marietta arrives with the spring severe-weather season, roughly March through June, with a smaller round of storms in the fall. If a storm passes over your neighborhood, the smart move is a free inspection within a few weeks, while the damage is fresh and easy to document. Waiting until a leak shows up usually means the shingle mat has been fracturing for months. Inspections are scheduled by appointment during daylight, and after a widespread storm we work through Marietta streets in order of damage severity.
Should I repair my Marietta roof or replace it?
It comes down to age, extent, and layers. A roof under twelve years old with damage confined to one slope or a few flashing points is usually a repair. A roof past twenty years, one with hail bruising across several slopes, or one already carrying two shingle layers is usually a replacement, because patching it means chasing leaks for years. We give you both numbers in writing after a free inspection and tell you which one we would choose for our own house.
Which shingles hold up best against Cobb County hail?
For most Marietta homes we recommend an architectural shingle rated for impact resistance, which carries a stiffer mat and better sealing than standard shingles and may earn a discount from some insurers. Under the tree canopy in East Cobb, an algae-resistant version keeps the roof from streaking. If you plan to stay in the house for decades, standing-seam metal shrugs off hail and outlasts shingle by a wide margin. We will walk you through the trade-offs on cost and appearance before you decide.
