Common roof repairs in Marietta

Older homes near the Square

Older Marietta homes can have plank decking and framing that predate modern codes. On repairs we check the decking under the damaged area, because nailing new shingles into gapped planks does not hold.

Flashing at walls and chimneys

Roof-to-wall joints and chimneys are the most common leak points on older homes here. We replace step and counter flashing instead of adding sealant over the problem.

Newer subdivisions

On newer homes along Roswell Road and Sandy Plains, leaks usually trace to a single installation detail such as a missing kick-out flashing or a poorly sealed pipe boot. Those are quick, permanent fixes.

What we repair

Roof leaks and leak detection. We trace water to where it actually enters, which is often several feet from the ceiling stain.
Pipe boots. The rubber collars around plumbing vents usually start cracking around year 10 to 12.
Chimney, wall and step flashing. Rebuilt properly, not covered in sealant.
Valleys and crickets. Worn or poorly built valleys and the diverter behind a chimney.
Vents and skylights. Reflashed instead of resealed.
Missing, lifted or damaged shingles. From wind, hail or falling limbs, matched as closely as possible.
Emergency tarping. Same day when water is actively coming in.

How a roof repair works with us

We walk the roof, check the attic, and photograph what we find. You get a written report that says repair, replace, or fine for now. About half of the roofs we look at need a repair, not a replacement, and we say so even when it costs us a sale. If you go ahead, we fix the source of the problem, and our workmanship is covered by a 10-year warranty.

Repair or replace?

We look at four things: the roof’s age (shingles in Georgia usually last 25 to 30 years), whether damage is spread across several slopes, the condition of the decking from the attic, and how many times the roof has already been patched. If a repair will hold, we recommend the repair. If it will not, we show you why. Read more in our repair or replace guide.

Where we work in Marietta

We make repair calls from the historic streets around Marietta Square to the neighborhoods along Roswell Road and Sandy Plains. Marietta is central to everywhere we work. See our full Marietta roofing page for replacement and storm services.

Roof repair questions from Marietta homeowners

My roof has been patched before. Should I keep patching?

If the same spot has been patched more than twice, the patch is not the problem. The detail underneath needs to be rebuilt, and we will show you what that involves.

Can you repair a roof on an older home?

Yes. We check the decking and framing first so the repair is built on something solid.

Is the inspection really free?

Yes. We go up, photograph everything, check your attic, and give you a written report you keep whether or not you hire us.
