Roof Replacement in Roswell, GA for Older Homes and Tree Lots
Roswell roofs sit under more trees than most of north Fulton. Canton Street cottages, Horseshoe Bend two-stories, and the lots along the Chattahoochee all share the same pattern: shade, wet valleys, and flashing that has been asked to last one season too many. If that sounds like your house, start with a free on-site look, not a phone quote.
LB Roofing and Construction has worked this side of the metro since 2008. We started in Marietta, just west of the Cobb-Fulton line, and we still treat Roswell as local work. We will not push a replacement if a repair will do. Call 404-875-6222, Monday through Saturday, 8am to 7pm.

What Roswell housing does to a roof
The historic district and Canton Street corridor mix 19th-century and early-20th-century houses with later infill. Steeper pitches, more chimneys, dormers, and tighter flashing are normal. Those homes do not get a production-subdivision roof by default. We tear off to the deck, check the wood, and treat every chimney and valley as a leak point until it is detailed.
East and south of downtown, 1970s-1990s subdivisions sit on wooded lots. Horseshoe Bend, Martins Landing, and Riverside are typical: mature oaks and pines, leaf-packed valleys, and moss on the north slope. Needles and shade keep asphalt wet. Granules wash off faster. Decking around skylights and chimneys is where we find soft spots.
If a limb came through in a storm, that is a claims job. We document it and handle the storm damage insurance claim. Slow wear from trees and age is usually not.
Repair or replace
A cracked boot or a short run of wind damage can be repaired. A 22-year-old roof with stained sheathing, curling tabs, and two prior leak repairs should come off. We say which one you have. You decide after you see the photos.
How we replace a Roswell roof
- Free inspection of the roof, deck, and ventilation. Photos and a written scope.
- Full tear-off to the wood. Re-nail loose boards. Replace damaged decking.
- Peel-and-stick ice and water shield at valleys, chimneys, skylights, and dormers. Fiberglass-reinforced felt on the field, fastened with cap nails.
- CertainTeed, GAF, Owens Corning, Tamko, or IKO shingles. Five to six nails per shingle. Metal or clay/concrete tile if the architecture wants it.
- Materials arrive early the morning of installation. Dump trailer same day. Most jobs finish in one day.

Cost in Roswell
We publish one metro price range and stick to it.
| Roof size (approx.) | Asphalt, installed |
|---|---|
| Per square foot | $4.50-$7.50 |

Metal on an average home: $18,000-$30,000+. Historic roofs with extra chimneys, dormers, or steep planes sit higher in the range because of labor, not because Roswell has a different price list. Decking, if we replace any, is itemized. The $350 off full replacement offer is on the site. Mention it when you book.

Roswell roof replacement FAQs
Do historic district or Canton Street homes need a different roof?
Often a more careful one, not a different brand by default. Older houses have more masonry, dormers, and irregular planes. We tear off to the deck, protect valleys and chimneys with ice and water shield, and match the product to the house. If your HOA or historic review board has a color or material rule, bring it to the inspection.
Trees keep my north slope wet. Should I replace or just clean it?
Cleaning helps moss and debris. It does not put life back into a 20-plus-year shingle. If the north slope is bald, cupped, or leaking at the valley, replacement is the fix. If the rest of the roof is sound and the wet area is small, we will say a repair is enough.
How much does roof replacement cost in Roswell?
Asphalt is $4.50-$7.50 per square foot installed. Guide numbers: ~2,000 sf $9,000-$15,000; ~3,000 sf $13,500-$22,500; ~4,000 sf $18,000-$30,000; ~5,000 sf $22,500-$37,500. Metal $18,000-$30,000+ for an average home. Extra chimneys and steep historic planes add labor. The estimate is free after we measure.
How long does the job take?
Most residential replacements finish in one day. Complex historic roofs or heavy decking work can take longer. Materials arrive early the morning of installation. The dump trailer is gone the same day we finish.
When do I pay?
On most jobs, after the work is complete and you are satisfied. On larger jobs, a partial payment when materials are delivered. Financing is through Magwitch. Workmanship is warranted for five years.
