Commercial Roofing Systems in the Athens area

Commercial roofing systems are generally larger, flatter, and more complex than residential ones. They require specialized materials like TPO, EPDM, or modified bitumen, which perform better on low-slope or flat roofs. Drainage, ventilation, and energy efficiency are more critical in commercial applications. Strategic Roofing and Contracting LLC understands these nuances and offers systems engineered for durability, code compliance, and long-term performance in commercial environments—something residential contractors may not be equipped to handle.

The right system depends on roof slope, building use, foot traffic, insulation needs, budget, and energy goals. TPO is popular for energy efficiency; EPDM is known for longevity; while modified bitumen offers multilayer durability. Strategic Roofing and Contracting LLC provides expert evaluations, helping you select a system tailored to your property's structure, local weather, and long-term investment plans.

At minimum, inspections should be done twice a year—ideally in spring and fall—and after major storms. Regular maintenance can extend the roof’s life by catching small issues like seam separations or membrane damage before they become costly failures. Strategic Roofing and Contracting offers maintenance programs to proactively manage wear, ensuring maximum ROI from your roofing system.

Strategic Roofing and Contracting handles all permitting and inspections for you, ensuring your project is code-compliant and fully documented for future building resale or audits.

In some cases, yes—particularly if only one layer exists and the current structure is sound. This method saves money and reduces downtime. However, building codes limit how many layers can be installed. Strategic Roofing and Contracting evaluates whether overlaying is feasible or if a tear-off is necessary to avoid long-term issues.

Commercial roofs often come with two types of warranties: material warranties from the manufacturer and workmanship warranties from the contractor. Strategic Roofing and Contracting provides both, with options ranging from 10 to 30 years, depending on the system. We help you understand what’s covered—and what’s not—so there are no surprises down the road.

Hot summers, heavy rain, humidity, and occasional ice events in Georgia all contribute to roofing stress. UV radiation can cause membrane deterioration, while pooling water from storms can lead to structural rot or insulation damage. Strategic Roofing and Contracting recommends UV-resistant and waterproof systems specifically suited for Georgia’s climate.
