Question 1

What types of commercial roofing systems does True Hand Roofing install?

Accepted Answer

We install and repair all major commercial roofing systems including TPO (thermoplastic polyolefin), EPDM (rubber membrane), PVC, metal retrofit systems, and restorative roof coatings. Each system has its strengths — TPO offers excellent energy efficiency, EPDM is the most cost-effective for large flat roofs, PVC resists chemical exposure for restaurants and industrial facilities, and roof coatings can extend an existing roof's life by 10-15 years without a full replacement.

Question 2

How much does a commercial roof replacement cost in Georgia?

Accepted Answer

Commercial roofing costs vary significantly based on roof size, system type, and building complexity. TPO and EPDM systems typically range from $5 to $10 per square foot installed. PVC and metal systems range from $8 to $15 per square foot. Roof coatings — which avoid full replacement — typically cost $3 to $6 per square foot. We provide free inspections and detailed estimates for every commercial project.

Question 3

Can you repair my commercial flat roof instead of replacing it?

Accepted Answer

In many cases, yes. If your commercial roof has localized damage, isolated leaks, or membrane issues in specific areas, targeted repairs can be significantly more cost-effective than full replacement. We also offer roof coating systems that can restore and extend the life of an aging commercial roof by 10-15 years. Our inspection will determine the most cost-effective approach for your situation.

Question 4

Does True Hand Roofing work on occupied commercial buildings?

Accepted Answer

Yes. We regularly perform roofing work on occupied commercial buildings including restaurants, retail stores, offices, and warehouses. We plan our work to minimize noise, dust, and disruption to your operations. When possible, we schedule the loudest work during off-peak hours.

Question 5

What commercial roofing warranties do you offer?

Accepted Answer

Your commercial roof is protected two ways. Our written workmanship warranty covers the quality of our installation, and the roofing materials we install carry their own manufacturer product warranty. Because we install to each manufacturer's specifications, your materials qualify for the product warranty that comes with them — often 15 to 30 years depending on the system. We'll walk you through the exact coverage and terms for the system you choose before any work begins.

Question 6

What is the typical commercial roof inspection cycle?

Accepted Answer

Most commercial roofing professionals recommend inspecting industrial roofs at least twice per year, typically once in the spring and once in the fall. These seasonal inspections help identify damage from winter weather, snow loads, summer heat expansion, and severe storms. Additionally, it's crucial to schedule inspections after any major weather events like heavy windstorms, hail, or significant snowfall, as storm damage isn't always obvious from the ground. Regular inspections are often a requirement to maintain manufacturer warranty coverage.

Question 7

How do warranty terms compare across TPO, EPDM, and PVC roofing systems?

Accepted Answer

Warranty terms for single-ply membranes can vary significantly based on the manufacturer, membrane thickness, and installation method. Generally, TPO roofing systems typically come with manufacturer warranties ranging from 10 to 30 years. EPDM, a more established material, often offers proven warranty options of 10 to 20 years, with some black EPDM products carrying 20-year warranties. PVC roofing can also have warranties up to 30 years or more, reflecting its superior durability and chemical resistance. It's important to understand that these warranties often require documented routine maintenance to remain valid.

Question 8

When does insurance cover commercial roof replacement versus depreciation-only (Actual Cash Value)?

Accepted Answer

Commercial roof insurance coverage for replacement versus depreciation-only (Actual Cash Value or ACV) depends on your specific policy. A Replacement Cost Value (RCV) policy covers the full cost of replacing a damaged roof with new materials and labor, without factoring in depreciation. This means you receive the amount needed to restore your roof to its pre-damaged condition, minus your deductible. In contrast, an Actual Cash Value (ACV) policy only pays out the depreciated value of your roof at the time of damage, meaning it accounts for wear and tear and age. With an ACV policy, you'll receive a lower payout and will likely need to cover a larger portion of the replacement cost out of pocket. RCV policies generally have higher premiums but offer more comprehensive protection.
