Smyrna Roof Replacement for Original 70s-90s Roofs and Infill
Smyrna is close-in Cobb with two housing stories on the same street. One house still has its 1970s or 1980s roof. The lot next door is a teardown with a new build. If you are keeping the original house, the roof is often the item that decides whether the next decade is dry. Village Green, King Springs, Concord, the Vinings edge: we will walk it and tell you if the shingles have any remaining life.
LB Roofing and Construction started in Marietta in August 2008 and has worked Smyrna from the beginning. We will not push a replacement if a repair will do. Call 404-875-6222, Monday through Saturday, 8am to 7pm.

Smyrna housing and roof issues
A large share of Smyrna’s single-family stock is 1970s-1990s ranches, split-levels, and two-stories. Many of those roofs have already been replaced once. The second roof is now at or past 20 years. Low-to-moderate pitch is common on the ranches. That is easier to work and usually cheaper per square than a steep East Cobb or Kennesaw two-story. It also holds debris and stays wet longer in the shade.
Teardowns have changed blocks near Village Green and toward Vinings. New builds get a new roof. The house you are keeping does not get that for free. If you are renovating and keeping the structure, replacing the roof in the same window as siding or windows is the clean sequence. We can work around a remodel schedule. We do not guess at a “while you are here” price from photos.
Access is tighter than a cul-de-sac in north Cobb. Dump trailer placement, driveway protection, and same-day haul-off matter on these lots. Materials arrive early the morning of installation, not a week early.
Storms still hit. If wind or a tree did the damage, we handle the insurance claim. If the roof aged out, we say that up front.
Repair or replace
A single leak at a boot on a 10-year roof is a repair. A 1988 ranch on its second asphalt cycle with soft eaves is a replacement. We inspect, photograph, and pick one. You are not asked to decide from the curb.
How we replace a Smyrna roof
- Free on-site inspection. Deck, ventilation, flashing.

Smyrna roof replacement FAQs
I am renovating a 1970s house, not tearing it down. When should the roof happen?
Before interior finishes if the roof is due. A leak after new drywall is the expensive order. If we inspect and the roof has remaining life, we will say wait. If it is at the end, schedule the tear-off first or in the same window as exterior work.
Do Village Green or Vinings-adjacent HOAs limit shingle color?
Some do. Bring the guideline or a photo of approved roofs on the street. We install CertainTeed, GAF, Owens Corning, Tamko, and IKO and can match a required color or profile. The labor method does not change. The product line item might.
How much does a Smyrna replacement cost?
Asphalt is $4.50-$7.50 per square foot installed. A typical Smyrna ranch in the ~2,000 sf range is $9,000-$15,000. ~3,000 sf is $13,500-$22,500. Larger two-stories follow the table above. Metal is $18,000-$30,000+ for an average home. The estimate is free after an on-site measurement.
How long will we be in your driveway?
Most replacements are one day. Materials arrive early the morning of installation. Dump trailer the day of, gone when we leave. Tight lots take more setup, not usually a second day, unless decking is bad.
When do I pay?
On most jobs, after the roof is complete. On larger jobs, a partial payment when materials are delivered. Financing through Magwitch. 5-year workmanship warranty on the install.
