Roof Repair for Greater Atlanta Homes

Trusted Repairs From a Family-Owned Atlanta Roofer

Roof Repair Done Right the First Time

KTM Roofing Has Served Atlanta Homeowners Since 1984

A leaking roof or missing shingles can turn into structural damage, interior water stains, or mold growth faster than most Atlanta homeowners expect. KTM Roofing has been providing roof repair across the Greater Atlanta area for more than 40 years, working on everything from small shingle replacements to complex repairs on slate, tile, and wood roofs. Our crews are trained on the specific roofing systems used throughout neighborhoods in Atlanta, Alpharetta, Marietta, Sandy Springs, Decatur, and Peachtree Corners, and we hold manufacturer certifications from CertainTeed, GAF, Brava, DaVinci, EcoStar, and Carlisle SynTec Systems.

We approach every repair the same way: identify the actual source of the problem (not just the visible symptom), use materials that match what is already on your roof, and document the workmanship in writing.

What to Expect From a KTM Roof Repair

A Clear Process From First Call to Final Walk-Through

Most roof problems are not as simple as they look from the ground. A stain on a ceiling can trace back to flashing several feet away, and a single damaged shingle is often a sign of broader wear. Our repair process is designed to find the root cause before any work begins.

  • Step 1: Roof inspection. A KTM representative inspects the full roof system, including flashing, vents, valleys, fasteners, and underlayment where accessible. We document findings with photos and notes.

  • Step 2: Written proposal. You receive an itemized estimate covering the scope of repair, materials, and timeline. There are no verbal-only quotes and no pressure to decide on the spot.

  • Step 3: Scheduled repair. Once you approve the proposal, we set a date and stick to it. You will know when our crew is arriving and what they are doing each day.

  • Step 4: Cleanup and warranty. After the repair is complete, we clear debris, run a magnet for stray nails, and provide written warranty documentation. KTM offers a workmanship warranty on repairs in addition to any applicable manufacturer warranties on materials.

Signs You Need Roof Repair

Common Issues Atlanta Roofs Develop Over Time

Georgia weather is hard on roofs. Summer heat accelerates shingle aging, spring storms bring wind and hail, and seasonal humidity creates conditions for mildew and rot. These are the most common signs we see when homeowners call us for roof repair.

Shingles that lift at the corners, split, or go missing entirely expose the underlayment to water and UV damage. Even one or two missing shingles can lead to leaks during the next heavy rain.

Asphalt shingles shed granules as they age, and large amounts collecting in gutters mean the shingles are past their prime. Bald spots on the roof itself often appear next.

Brown rings, bubbling paint, or damp drywall almost always trace back to a roof or flashing issue. The leak point is rarely directly above the stain.

Flashing is one of the most common failure points on any roof. Cracked sealant, rust, or separation from the surrounding material lets water in even when shingles look fine.

A sagging roof deck or visible dip points to structural damage from prolonged water exposure. This is one of the few signs that should prompt an immediate call.

If you can see sunlight through the roof deck, water is also getting in. Check the attic after a storm or on a sunny afternoon.

Roofing Materials We Repair

Repair Expertise Across Every Major Roofing Type

Not every roofing contractor in Atlanta is equipped to repair specialty materials. KTM crews are trained on all of the following.

Asphalt Roof Repair

Asphalt shingles are the most common roofing material in the Atlanta metro area, and most of our repair calls involve them. We work with both architectural and three-tab shingles from CertainTeed, GAF, and other manufacturers. Common asphalt repairs include replacing wind-damaged shingles, sealing exposed nails, repairing flashing, and addressing granule loss in localized areas before it spreads.

Slate Roof Repair

Slate roofs can last 75 years or more, but individual tiles do break from impact, foot traffic, or freeze-thaw cycles. Repairs require sourcing matching slate (KTM has experience with Buckingham and Vermont slate, among others) and using the right hooks or hangers to secure replacement pieces without disturbing the surrounding tiles. We also repair flashing and underlayment exposed by failing slate.

Tile Roof Repair

Clay and concrete tile roofs are durable but brittle. Broken, slipped, or missing tiles are the most common issue, often caused by storm debris, walking on the roof, or aging fasteners. KTM is an authorized Ludowici installer and works regularly with clay and concrete tile, including the one-piece S profile and other interlocking systems. We match replacement tiles to the existing color and profile wherever possible.

Wood Roof Repair

Cedar shake and wood shingle roofs require periodic repair as individual shakes split, curl, or rot. We replace damaged shakes, address moss and mildew when it threatens the wood, and inspect for underlying decking issues that often accompany wood roof problems. For homeowners considering a switch, we also install synthetic cedar shake from Brava, DaVinci, and EcoStar.

Metal Roof Repair

Metal roofing is durable but not maintenance-free. The most common metal roof repair needs we see on standing seam and exposed-fastener metal roofs include loose or backed-out fasteners, cracked gaskets around penetrations, failed flashing at chimneys and walls, and seam separation on standing seam panels.

Roof Repair FAQ

Answers to Common Questions From Atlanta Homeowners

Repair cost depends on the type of roofing material, the extent of damage, accessibility, and whether underlayment or decking needs replacement. Minor shingle repairs are at the lower end, while specialty materials like slate or tile and structural repairs involving the deck cost more. KTM provides a written, itemized estimate after the inspection so you know what you are paying for.

Most roof damage can be repaired if the underlying structure is sound and the roof has not reached the end of its service life. When a roof is nearing the end of its expected lifespan or damage is widespread, replacement is usually more cost-effective than ongoing repair. We will tell you honestly which makes more sense for your situation.

It depends on the cause of damage and your specific policy. Sudden events like hail, wind, or fallen tree limbs are commonly covered, while wear from aging typically is not. KTM can document storm-related damage with photos and reports to support your claim, but we recommend reviewing the specifics with your insurance provider.

Small repairs are often completed in a single day. Larger repairs involving flashing, decking, or multiple damaged areas can take two to three days. Specialty material repairs may take longer if matching tiles or slate need to be sourced. Your written proposal will include an expected timeline.

Active leaks usually show up as ceiling stains, damp insulation, dripping water during rain, or musty smells in the attic. Some leaks are slow and only appear after heavy storms. If you suspect a leak but can’t pinpoint the source, a roof inspection is the most reliable way to find it.
