Marietta Roof Replacement from the Company That Started Here
LB Roofing and Construction started in Marietta and Cobb County in August 2008. If the roof on your house near the Square, along Whitlock, or out in East Cobb is leaking, storm-worn, or simply past its service life, you can get a free on-site estimate from the same local shop that has been doing this work here for 18 years.
We will not push a replacement if a repair will do. Owner Charles (Lee) Marcum and project manager Nick Nowak give you photos, a written scope, and a clear yes-or-no on whether the roof still has life in it. Call 404-875-6222, Monday through Saturday, 8am to 7pm, or use the form below.

What Marietta roofs actually deal with
Housing near the Square and Whitlock is older. Many homes still have original chimneys, tight valleys, and decking that has already seen more than one roof. A leak at a brick chimney is often flashing, not a failed field of shingles.
East Cobb and the Cobb Parkway corridor are a different stock: 1970s through 1990s ranches and two-stories under heavy pine and oak cover. Shade, needles, and wet valleys wear asphalt faster than a sunny ridge. Pitch is mixed. You can have a low ranch slope on one street and a steep revival roof two blocks over. We inspect the deck, ventilation, and flashing before we talk materials.
Storms and fallen limbs are common. If wind or a tree did the damage, we document it and work the storm damage insurance claim with your carrier. Age and wear are usually out-of-pocket.
When a repair is enough, and when it is not
Most asphalt roofs last 20 to 25 years. Granule loss, curling, repeated leaks, or a roof past the manufacturer’s expected life usually point to replacement. One bad pipe boot or a short run of wind-lifted shingles often does not.
That is the first question we answer on site. If a repair will hold, we say so. If you are patching the same area twice a year, replacement is the cheaper path. For leak-only work, see our Marietta roof repair page.
How we replace a Marietta roof
- Free inspection. We walk the roof, check the deck and ventilation, and send photos with a written recommendation.
- Tear-off to the deck. Old shingles come off. Loose boards get re-nailed. Damaged or soft decking is replaced before anything new goes down.
- Ice and water shield at valleys, chimneys, skylights, and dormers. Full-deck fiberglass-reinforced felt, fastened with cap nails.
- Shingles. CertainTeed, GAF, Owens Corning, Tamko, or IKO. Five to six nails per shingle, not the two-to-four some crews use.
- Same-day site. Materials arrive early the morning of installation. We roll in a dump trailer the morning of the job and roll it out when we leave. Most homes finish in one day.
We also install metal and clay or concrete tile when the house calls for it. More on About Us.

Marietta roof replacement FAQs
Do you still work in Marietta, or did you move to Atlanta?
We started in Marietta and Cobb County in August 2008. The office is now at 3101 Cobb Pkwy SE, Suite 124, but Marietta is still home territory. We work the Square, Whitlock, East Cobb, and the Cobb Parkway corridor regularly.
My house near the Square has old chimneys. Does that change the job?
Often, yes. Historic and near-Square homes usually have more masonry, tighter flashing, and older decking. We tear off to the wood, re-nail or replace bad boards, and put ice and water shield at chimneys, valleys, skylights, and dormers. The field of shingles is the easy part. The penetrations are where leaks start.
How much does a roof replacement cost in Marietta?
Asphalt runs $4.50-$7.50 per square foot installed. A ~2,000 sf roof is typically $9,000-$15,000; ~3,000 sf is $13,500-$22,500; ~4,000 sf is $18,000-$30,000; ~5,000 sf is $22,500-$37,500. Metal is $18,000-$30,000+ for an average home. Pitch, shingle tier, and decking repairs change the number. The estimate is free after we measure on site.
How long does a Marietta replacement take?
Most residential jobs finish in one day. Materials arrive early the morning of installation. The dump trailer is in and out the same day. Larger or steeper roofs, or homes that need a lot of decking, can take longer.
When do I pay, and is financing available?
On most jobs, no payment until the roof is complete. On larger jobs, a partial payment may be due when materials are delivered. Financing is through Magwitch. Every replacement includes our 5-year workmanship warranty.
