Our replacement scope is specific: full tear-off to the deck, deck inspection and repair of bad sections, synthetic underlayment, self-adhered membrane in valleys and around penetrations, new drip edge — required in Georgia under IRC R905.2.8.5 — new flashing where needed, architectural shingles, and ridge ventilation checked against the 1/150 baseline. Ice barrier at the eaves is not code-required in Marietta's climate, so we will not sell it to you as if it were.
Here is the math other roofers make you sit through a presentation to hear. October 2026: architectural shingle $4.50–$7.00 per square foot installed; typical total job $12,000–$22,000 depending on size, pitch, layers and access. Prices are calculated on measured roof area — a 2,000 square foot house often has 2,400 or more square feet of roof once pitch and overhangs are counted. Anyone quoting from living area alone is guessing with your money.
Permit rules for re-roofing differ between the City of Marietta and unincorporated Cobb County and can depend on your parcel, so we confirm yours before quoting — no invented fees, no assumptions. If storm damage is involved, know that wind and hail deductibles commonly run 1–2% of Coverage A, ACV schedules can reduce payouts on older roofs, and waiving your deductible is illegal in Georgia. We document everything; we do not negotiate claims, which Georgia reserves to public adjusters and attorneys.
