Roof Replacement Cost in Marietta, GA: What to Expect in 2026
If you are budgeting for a new roof in Marietta, start with roof area, not living area. In October 2026, architectural shingle replacement here runs $4.50 to $7.00 per square foot installed, with a typical job landing between $12,000 and $22,000. That range already assumes a standard tear-off and a straightforward pitch, so steep, cut-up, or two-story roofs with limited access will sit toward the top of it.
This guide is the one to bookmark. It shows the math by roof size, lists exactly what a complete quote should include, and names the exclusions that surprise homeowners most. Clark Brothers Roofing, at 1122 Powers Ferry Rd, Marietta, GA 30067, quotes from a written scope so you can compare bids line by line. Call +1 470-613-9333 to schedule an inspection before you sign anything.
Roof Replacement Cost in Marietta: Per-Square-Foot Prices
Key points
Use roof area for every estimate. A 2,000-square-foot house does not have a 2,000-square-foot roof once pitch and overhangs are counted, so a roofer should measure the roof itself. At $4.50 to $7.00 per square foot for architectural shingles, a 1,500-square-foot roof runs $6,750 to $10,500, a 2,000-square-foot roof runs $9,000 to $14,000, a 2,500-square-foot roof runs $11,250 to $17,500, and a 3,000-square-foot roof runs $13,500 to $21,000. Standing seam metal, for comparison, runs $10 to $16 per square foot installed.
Worked examples at October 2026 Marietta prices — architectural shingles at $4.50–$7.00 per sq ft, standing seam metal at $10–$16 per sq ft:
What Drives the Price Up or Down
Pitch and complexity move the number more than brand names do. Valleys, hips, dormers, skylights, and chimneys all add flashing work and waste. A second existing layer adds tear-off and disposal time, and Georgia allows a maximum of two layers, so a roof already at two layers must be torn off. Access matters too: a tight lot, heavy landscaping, or a tall East Cobb roofline can slow staging. Decking condition is the wild card, because rot or delamination is only fully visible after tear-off.
A complete replacement quote should spell out tear-off of the old roof, new underlayment, drip edge, flashing work, ventilation approach, and cleanup and disposal. Drip edge is required in Georgia under IRC R905.2.8.5, so if it is missing from a quote, ask why. Ice barrier is not required at the eaves in Marietta, where January averages run about 42 to 44 degrees against an IRC trigger of 25 degrees or below, but valleys and penetrations should still get self-adhered membrane for leak protection.
- Architectural shingles run $4.50–$7.00 per sq ft installed in Marietta (October 2026)
- Worked examples: a 2,000 sq ft roof runs $9,000–$14,000; a typical Marietta job lands at $12,000–$22,000
- Compare bids on the written scope — inclusions and exclusions — not the headline number
- 1,500 sq ft roof, shingles: $6,750 to $10,500
- 2,000 sq ft roof, shingles: $9,000 to $14,000
- 2,500 sq ft roof, shingles: $11,250 to $17,500
Not every tired roof needs replacing. General repairs in Marietta commonly run $300 to $1,500, and leak repairs run $400 to $1,500 depending on access and how much flashing or decking is involved. A repair makes sense when the surrounding shingles are still pliable, the damage is localized, and the fix will realistically last. If repairs are becoming annual, or the roof is broadly curling, losing granules, and leaking in multiple planes, put that repair money toward replacement instead and avoid paying twice.
What a Complete Quote Should Include
Compare scopes, not just totals. Two bids $3,000 apart often differ on tear-off, underlayment, drip edge, flashing reuse, and ventilation, not profit. Ask each contractor to confirm scope in writing, show a current business licence and insurance certificates, and explain how decking replacement would be priced if it is found. Because permits differ between the City of Marietta and unincorporated Cobb by parcel, a careful contractor confirms the authority for your address before finalizing price rather than assuming one rule fits the whole ZIP code.

Honest About Licensing in Georgia
A Marietta Roofer, Up Front About Everything

Clark Brothers Roofing is based at 1122 Powers Ferry Rd in Marietta, GA 30067, and this page is about how we work rather than a polished origin story. We inspect roofs carefully, photograph problems instead of describing them from the driveway, explain repair-versus-replace honestly, and put pricing in writing. If a roof has good years left, we will say so — even when a replacement would pay us more.
Honest About Pricing, Too
We are also up front about the trade itself. Georgia does not license roofers, prices in this market vary wildly, and storm season brings out-of-town crews who disappear. Our answer is simple: local address, published phone number +1 470-613-9333, open 24 hours, and business licence and insurance certificates available on request for every customer who asks. That approach shapes everything on this page: how we inspect, how we price, and how we handle the paperwork Georgia homeowners actually need.
Every job starts with a real inspection: shingles, flashing, valleys, vents, decking where accessible, and the attic side when a leak is involved. You get photos and a plain-language explanation of what is failing, what is cosmetic, and what can wait. Then you get options — repair, maintenance or replacement — each priced separately, so you can choose the scope instead of being sold the largest one by default.
Many roofing websites imply a state licence that does not exist. Georgia does not license roofers; roofing is a traditional specialty trade under O.C.G.A. 43-41-17. We will not dress that up. What we can show you is our business licence and current insurance certificates, on request, before you sign anything. Ask any roofer you interview for the same documents — a legitimate local company will hand them over without hesitation.
