Marietta Earthtone Cedar Roof Repair
This roof repair in Marietta, GA restored proper protection to the home using IKO Cambridge architectural shingles in Earthtone Cedar. The project addressed localized roof damage, reinforced vulnerable areas, and ensured the roofing system could continue performing reliably under Georgia’s seasonal weather conditions.
Project Overview
The homeowner requested an evaluation after noticing issues affecting the roof’s performance. An inspection identified damaged shingles, compromised flashing, and areas of deteriorated decking that required repair. While the remainder of the roof remained serviceable, targeted repairs were necessary to prevent water intrusion and extend the life of the existing roofing system. Given Marietta’s frequent rain and storm activity, prompt repairs were recommended to restore proper waterproofing and structural integrity.
Results
The completed roof repair eliminated compromised sections and reinforced critical transition points. New IKO Cambridge shingles were installed to match the existing roof, while upgraded underlayment, flashing, and sealants improved overall moisture resistance. Decking repairs restored stability, and added ventilation components helped support long-term roof performance. All work was completed to proper installation standards, providing the homeowner with renewed confidence in their roof’s durability and protection.
