Stop Fighting Your Flat Roof. Cover It for Good.

Chronic leaks, constant patching, and pooling water—managing an aging flat roof can be a never-ending cycle of costly frustration.

But what if you could get a permanent, low-maintenance, sloped roof solution without the immense cost and disruption of a full tear-off? True Hand Roofing specializes in metal retrofit systems across North Georgia.

Why Choose Metal Retrofit

Why a Metal Retrofit is the Superior Choice

A metal retrofit is an innovative and value-engineered alternative to traditional roof replacement, offering a host of powerful benefits.

Eliminates Tear-Off Costs

The single biggest advantage. By avoiding the labor-intensive and costly process of tearing off your old roof, you can save significantly on the total project cost.

No Business Disruption

Because we aren't tearing off your old roof, your business operations can continue uninterrupted and protected from the elements throughout the entire installation process.

Creates Positive Slope

We custom-design a sub-framing system that builds a positive slope, ensuring water drains quickly and efficiently, completely eliminating problems with pooling water.

Permanent, Low-Maintenance Solution

A high-quality metal roof can last 50 years or more with minimal maintenance, offering a truly long-term solution to your roofing woes.

Improved Energy Efficiency

The space between the old and new roofs can be filled with new insulation. Combined with a cool-metal roof color, this can dramatically reduce your building's energy consumption.

Lightweight & Strong

Our steel framing and panels are engineered to be incredibly strong yet lightweight, typically adding minimal load to your existing building structure.

Our Process

From Failing Flat Roof to High-Performance Metal

Our process is engineered for precision, efficiency, and long-term performance.

1

Engineering & Design

Our team conducts a thorough structural analysis of your building and designs a custom sub-framing system that meets all local building codes and provides the optimal slope for drainage.

2

Installing the Sub-Framing

We install a lightweight, high-strength steel sub-framing system directly over your existing roof, creating the structural support and slope for the new metal panels.

3

Adding New Insulation

We can add a new layer of high R-value insulation within the sub-frame cavity, dramatically increasing your building's thermal performance. (Optional)

4

Installing the Metal Panels

Durable, 24-gauge standing seam metal panels are installed onto the new frame. These panels are fastened with concealed clips to allow for thermal expansion and contraction, ensuring a weather-tight finish.

Common Questions

Frequently Asked Questions About Metal Retrofit

Your Metal Retrofit Questions, Answered

Is a metal retrofit suitable for every building?
It is an excellent solution for many, but not all, buildings. A structural assessment is required to ensure your building can support the minimal additional weight of the new system. We handle this as part of our initial consultation.
How does the cost of a retrofit compare to a traditional tear-off and replacement?
A metal retrofit is often very cost-competitive with a single-ply tear-off and replacement, and in many cases, it can be more affordable. Its long-term durability and low maintenance needs provide a superior lifecycle cost.
Can you retrofit over any type of roof?
Metal retrofits are most commonly used to solve problems with failing flat roofs (like tar-and-gravel, modified bitumen, or older single-ply membranes), but they can also be used to recover existing metal roofs.
What kind of warranty comes with a metal retrofit system?
Our metal retrofit systems come with extensive manufacturer warranties, often including 20-year weather-tightness warranties and 30+ year finish warranties against fading and chalking.
