Commercial Roof
Re-Cover in Atlanta, GA
Many commercial roofs eventually reach a point where ongoing repairs no longer make financial sense. Parsons Roofing Company helps building owners evaluate replacement and retrofit options by comparing current roof condition, expected service life, and long-term cost. The goal is to plan the project around operations and budget rather than reacting to repeated failures.

What Types Of Roofs Can Be Recovered?
Most flat roof types can be recovered, provided the existing roof structure is in stable condition and there hasn’t been significant water damage. The roof must also have not been previously recovered. A few examples of roof types that can be recovered are Asphalt roofing, Built-Up Roofing, EPDM, Modified Bitument, and Tar and Gravel roofs.

What Types Of Roofs Can Not Be Recovered?
Flat roofs that have suffered water damage or have more than two existing layers of roofing surfaces cannot be recovered and should be completely replaced. Additionally, if the decking has been compromised in multiple locations, the roof should be completely torn off. Sometimes, damaged decking is only in one area and an isolated tear-off can be performed.

Commercial Roof Maintenance Questions
How do I know when replacement is better than repair?
When repairs become frequent, insulation is saturated, or the membrane has widespread deterioration, replacement becomes the more predictable long-term cost compared to ongoing service calls.
Can a commercial roof be replaced without shutting down operations?
Most commercial replacements are performed while buildings remain occupied. Work is phased and coordinated to limit disruption to tenants and business operations.
How long does a commercial roof replacement take?
Project duration depends on building size, weather, and system type. Many projects are scheduled in phases so portions of the building remain unaffected during installation.
What roofing system is best for replacement?
The correct system depends on drainage, building use, and long-term ownership goals. Membrane systems such as TPO are common, but selection should be based on performance rather than trend.
