If you live in Marietta, you know Georgia weather doesn’t play around. One minute it’s sunny, the next it’s hailing sideways. That kind of wear and tear can take years off your roof — unless you’re taking care of it the right way.

At Supreme Roofing, we’ve seen it all — and fixed it all — from missing shingles to storm-damaged flashing to leaks that start small and turn into full-blown ceiling stains. So if you want to get the full lifespan out of your roof (and avoid shelling out thousands for early replacement), here’s what we recommend:

1. Keep Your Roof Clean (Yes, Seriously)

Moss, leaves, and branches don’t just make your roof look bad — they hold moisture, which eats away at shingles and decking over time. Have a pro clean it off once a year, or if you're confident on a ladder, you can safely remove debris yourself.

Bonus tip: Trim overhanging branches. It cuts down on debris and keeps pests away.

2. Inspect It After Big Storms

Marietta gets its fair share of storms — especially in spring and summer. After heavy rain, wind, or hail, take a few minutes to walk around your home and look up. Missing shingles? Curling edges? Granules in the gutters? All signs your roof took a hit.

If something doesn’t look right, call a local roofer before it turns into a leak. Fast action can be the difference between a $200 repair and a $2,000 one.

3. Keep Gutters Clear

This one’s easy to overlook, but clogged gutters cause water to back up and sit along the edges of your roof. Over time, that leads to rot and mold. Clean them out twice a year (or more if you’ve got big trees around).

4. Schedule a Professional Roof Inspection Every Year

Think of it like an oil change for your house. A yearly inspection helps spot problems early — even the ones you can’t see from the ground. We recommend doing this in the fall or spring, before the rougher seasons hit.

If you’re in Marietta, our team at Supreme Roofing can handle this for you. We’ll take a close look and give you an honest report — no scare tactics, no pressure.

5. Don’t Delay Repairs

Small roof problems never stay small. Whether it’s a lifted shingle, flashing damage, or minor leak — the longer you wait, the worse (and more expensive) it gets. If your roof’s giving you a red flag, don’t ignore it.

Final Thoughts

Roofs aren’t cheap. But with a little routine care, you can get every year you paid for — and maybe a few more. And if you ever need help figuring out what’s going on up there, just give us a call.

At Supreme Roofing Marietta, we’re local, we’re honest, and we’ll treat your home like it’s our own.
