Marietta roofs have their own problems

Marietta isn't a generic suburb to us. The housing stock runs from 1890s Victorians around the Square to 1960s ranches in East Cobb to 2000s two-storeys out past Kennesaw Mountain, and each one fails differently.

The older homes near the Square tend to have complex roof geometry — multiple gables, dormers, and valleys — and that's where leaks start. Not in the middle of a shingle field, but at the flashing where two planes meet. The mid-century ranches have long, low-slope runs that hold water at the eaves and rot decking quietly for years. The newer subdivisions went up fast, often with builder-grade three-tab shingles and inadequate ridge ventilation, and a lot of them are hitting the end of their service life right about now.

What Georgia weather does here

Cobb County sits in the part of north Georgia that catches spring hail and summer thunderstorm wind. Hail doesn't always punch a hole in a shingle — more often it bruises the mat and knocks off the granule layer, which then weathers three or four times faster than it should. You won't see it from the driveway. You'll see it as a leak two years later, long after the insurance claim window has closed.

That's the main reason we push free inspections after any significant storm. Not to sell you a roof, but because documenting damage while it's fresh is what makes a claim work.
