Atlanta Roof Master keeps low-slope commercial roofs watertight through spring hailstorms, humid summers, and the ultraviolet heat that bakes a membrane flat. Call 4044740372 for a free roof estimate and we'll survey the building, then tell you plainly whether a coating, a recover, or a full tear-off is the honest answer. Commercial roofing runs alongside the residential roof repair, roof replacement, and gutters we handle on the homes next door in Atlanta.

Roofing crew installing a white TPO membrane over new insulation on a low-slope commercial roof in Atlanta, Georgia

Commercial roofing is a system decision before it's a material decision. We start with a roof asset survey — square footage, deck condition, and where water stands after a Fulton County storm. TPO and EPDM are the workhorses on a flat roof, PVC membrane handles restaurant exhaust, and modified bitumen still works over a dry built-up roof.

Insulation and ventilation carry the warranty. Wet board comes out; rigid insulation and a vapor barrier go in. We detail the parapet, scupper, and coping so water leaves the roof instead of sitting on it. A white membrane or reflective coating cuts summer cooling load, which is the closest thing to green roofing most owners ever need.

Atlanta weather does its damage slowly. Spring hail bruises a membrane and dents a metal panel. Humidity wicks into the deck and rots the plywood, OSB, or sheathing. Summer UV bakes sealant until it cracks and water seeps past a fastener. A small leak at a pipe flashing can soak a joist or ridge beam for months.

A recover over a sound deck costs a fraction of a tear-off, and we'll tell you which one you actually need. A full tear-off runs longer, needs a dumpster on site, and triggers building code requirements for deck attachment and edge metal. Most commercial roofs take one to three weeks, worked around tenant hours.

We also run residential work on early 20th-century Craftsman bungalows, mid-century ranch-style homes, and newer townhomes and condos. The substrate, flashing, and waterproofing standards don't change. Only the materials do.

What's Included

A roof asset survey that measures the roof, maps every drain and scupper, and takes moisture readings through the insulation before we quote anything.
Tear-off with a roofing shovel and pry bar down to the deck, with new plywood or OSB sheathing nailed in wherever rot has taken the substrate.
TPO, EPDM, PVC membrane, or modified bitumen installed to spec, with seams welded or self-adhered and probed before the job closes.
A standing-seam panel or metal panel system on the mansard, gambrel, canopy, awning, and overhang sections where single-ply can't hold.
Rigid insulation and a vapor barrier sized to building code, plus batten and counterbatten framing under a metal roof so the deck can drain.
Parapet, coping, and counter-flashing work, with new pipe boots, vent boots, pipe flashing, apron flashing, and boot flashing at every penetration.
A rebuilt chimney flashing and chimney counter-flashing where the roof meets the stack, set in fresh mastic and roof cement rather than smeared caulk.
Steep-slope detailing on hips, ridges, valleys, gables, and verges — new drip edge at the eave and rake, ice-and-water shield along the edge, ridge cap staggered across the top.
Ridge vent, soffit vent, and attic fan work so the roof cavity breathes, plus snow guards above a skylight or dormer where ice dam damage starts.
A line-item roof estimate and a final roof inspection with photos, plus all debris hauled off in our dumpster.

Our Commercial Roofing Process

How a Commercial Roofing Project Moves, Start to Finish

You call 4044740372. We ask what the building does and when water shows up, then book a roof inspection inside a week.
We walk the roof and run moisture readings through the insulation, then check the deck, purlins, rafters, and truss framing for rot or decay from long-term humidity.
You get a line-item roof estimate that separates repair from replacement, with the warranty term spelled out on each option — 15 to 30 years NDL on a full system.
We coordinate around tenants, post notice, and stage material, ladder access, and the dumpster so nobody loses a loading zone for a month.
Crews work from scaffold with a safety harness and edge anchors rated for the roof, because a fall is the real risk on any commercial job.
Materials get staged by the square — one roofing square covers 100 square feet — and the crew runs nail guns off a portable air compressor, with a torch for modified bitumen and a hot-air welder for single-ply laps.
Tear-off or recover goes down: substrate prep, self-adhered underlayment at the perimeter, field course laid in staggered courses with ring-shank nails, then flashing, drip edge, and ridge cap.
Final roof inspection with photos, manufacturer warranty registration, and a maintenance schedule so gutters, downspouts, and drains stay clear year round.

Manufacturer inspection, drainage verification, and NDL warranty registration. Final documentation package delivered to ownership and property management.

Signs You Need Commercial Roofing

Signs Your Commercial Roof Needs Attention Now

Granule loss and bare asphalt across a modified bitumen cap sheet, which means the surfacing has eroded and the bitumen underneath is next to go.
Ponding water that still sits 48 hours after a rain, a sign the roof pitch has settled or a drain is choked with debris.
Blistering, alligatoring, or a coating that flakes and peels off in sheets under Atlanta's summer UV.
Rust streaks and corrosion at fasteners, scuppers, and metal panel laps, where water wicks sideways under the lap instead of sheeting off.
Stained ceiling tiles, mold, or a soft spot where the roof deck sags underfoot near a rooftop unit.
Loose flashing at the parapet, chimney, and vent boots — the spot where most commercial leaks actually start.
Daylight through a split seam, puncture, or torn membrane after a spring hailstorm.
End-of-life wear: three separate repairs in one season usually costs more than a scheduled recover.

Commercial Roofing — Frequently Asked Questions

How long does a commercial roof replacement take?

Commercial roofing timelines depend on square footage, deck repairs, and weather. A 10,000-square-foot TPO recover usually runs three to five working days, while a full tear-off with new insulation and edge metal takes two to three weeks. We schedule around your tenants so the building stays open either way.

What does commercial roofing cost in Atlanta?

Commercial roofing is priced per square, and three things drive the number: membrane type, insulation thickness, and how much of the roof deck has to be replaced. Coating an existing membrane is the least expensive path; a full tear-off with new insulation is the most. Every quote we write is line-item so you can see each cost separately.

Will my insurance cover hail damage to a commercial roof?

Commercial roofing hail claims usually turn on the storm date and the adjuster inspection. We photograph bruising, dents, and granule loss, meet the adjuster on the roof, and file a supplemental claim when the first scope misses decking or flashing.

Can you work on my building without closing it?

Commercial roofing work runs around your operating hours. We stage the dumpster and material away from entrances, keep loud tear-off inside your window, and use ladder and scaffold access that doesn't block a customer door. Most facilities never stop operations.

Repair or full replacement — how do I know which one?

Commercial roofing answers that with a roof inspection, not a guess. If the membrane is under half its service life and the insulation reads dry, a repair or a coating is the right call. Once you're chasing three leaks a season or the deck sags, replacement costs less than the repairs.

Do you also handle residential roofs?

Commercial roofing is half of what we do. The other half is residential — asphalt shingle, architectural shingle, and three-tab shingle replacement, plus clay tile, concrete tile, slate, wood shake, and cedar shake repair, gutter installation, and skylight work.

Don't just take our word for it — hear from our satisfied customers.

"We manage a 12,000-square-foot retail building in Sandy Springs and water was showing up over two tenants' ceilings every storm. Their crew traced it to a split at a pipe boot, replaced it, and recoated the seams. That was the end of it." — Dana R., Sandy Springs

"April hail dented our metal panel and the adjuster's first scope missed half of it. Their roofer met the adjuster on the roof and documented the rest. Our Decatur building got a full recover and the claim covered it." — Marcus T., Decatur

"Two roofing companies quoted us a full tear-off on our Alpharetta office building. Atlanta Roof Master checked the insulation first, found it dry, and did a modified bitumen recover instead. The building stayed open the entire time." — Priya S., Alpharetta
