roof replacements

Roof replacement systems, commonly referred to as a “tear-off systems”, include the removal and replacement of the existing roof system. Roof replacement systems are undoubtedly the best solution if an owner is planning on keeping the building for the long-term. They provide a lower maintenance cost and give peace of mind to know that problems are least likely to occur. Lastly, they can provide significant energy savings as new insulation is installed, which, lowers the real cost of the project.

RECOVERY, RESTORATIONS, & MAINTENANCE

roof reCOVERY

The installation of a new roofing system over an existing roof is, if viable an alternative approach to roof replacement. The major advantage to this approach is the cost savings associatied with not having to remove and dispose of the existing roof membrane. Another advantage is the reduction of materials sent to landfills because labor, disposal, and trucking costs are often higher than material costs. Our roof recovery system can provide significant cost savings. (Only certain roofs qualify.)

A complete roof replacement project can be expensive, intrusive, loud and time consuming. Why replace when you can restore at a fraction of the cost? This sustainable solution offers a cost effective approach to extending the life of your current roof system.

WE REPAIR VARIOUS KINDS OF COMMERCIAL ROOFS

Tennessee EPDM

EPDM:

EPDM is an extremely durable synthetic rubber roofing membrane that is commonly used in low-slope buildings in the United States and worldwide. It comes in two major varieties, both of which can be used to add to the environmental friendliness of a building.

North Carolina TPO

TPO:

TPO is a single ply roof membrane that is installed over top of commercial roof structures. The decking can be made of corrugated steel, foam or roofing boards. TPO is made by taking a roofing resin and mixing with chemicals that give it fire and weather resistance. This resin is then poured over a foam core to create sheets of TP that generally come in rolls. Additional chemicals can be added to the resin to give the TPO a white color. This color helps to reflect heat, as well as giving the roofing material excellent UV resistance. It can also be useful for an environment where roofing might be exposed to chemicals.

North Carolina PVC

PVC:

PVC is a waterproofing membrane material commonly used for low-slope or “flat” roofs. This material is highly-flexible, cost-effective, durable and perfectly waterproof when properly installed.

Furthermore, most PVC materials are white. This feature makes them reflect heat and UV light, lowering air conditioning costs and resisting damage from the sun’s rays.

Modified Bitumen North Carolina

Modified Bitumen:

Are you looking for an alternative to the common tar or asphalt roofing systems, but the only option for your roof is a Built Up Roof? There are alternatives to the traditional built up roofing systems that are available to you. A modified bitumen roofing system is one that has been around since the 1960s that combines the strength of asphalt or tar without the need (in some systems) to lift heavy buckets of the heated products to your roof.

Built Up BUR Roofing in North Carolina

BUR Build Up Roofs:

The technology that is used in a built up roof, or BUR, has been in use in the United States for well over 100 years. Much like the name suggests, a BUR is one that is made of layers of a material and a fabric that holds the materials together. This is why these types of roofs are commonly referred to as “tar and gravel” roofs. Here are some of the basics of how a BUR is built as well as some of the common terms that are associated with BUR materials.

North Carolina structural standing seam metal

Structural Standing Seam:

Most people think of roofing as a finishing touch to the structure to seal out the weather. This is not always the case. Structural roofing panels can add structural strength to a building as well as protect it from the elements. Unlike architectural panels, they can be installed as very gentle slopes, and work very effectively on nearly level roofing.

North Carolina flat lock roof

Flat Lock Metal Roof:

There is a good chance that you have seen flat locked panels in use and have not realized it. These popular materials are available in any size and are usually used where a more monolithic finished surface is desired. Flat locked panels are often made of copper. The reason for this is that copper takes very well to soldering, which allows for sturdy and sealed seams. These panels are generally rectangular in shape. Flat lock metal panels are not only ideal for roofing material, but they serve as a stunning choice for wall panels to deliver an industrial aesthetic.

We bought an antebellum house and the roof was leaking when we took occupancy. There was a porch with an internal gutter system that other roofers were intimidated by. We hired Kevin to do an entire roof replacement. Kevin knows what he is doing, was very professional, and did a great job. I cannot recommend him enough, and I would say my interaction with him has probably been my most pleasant experience with a contractor.

Kevin the owner, took before pictures of our roof damage in order to show us the problem as well as taking after pictures to show us that he had fixed it. He worked with our insurance company and saved us a lot of money. Very professional, southern hospitality.
