Yes—we specialize in replacing old industrial metal roofs with modern, energy-efficient systems. At L&L Roofing & Construction, we help Gainesville businesses extend the life of their facilities by upgrading outdated, leaking, or corroded roofs with high-performance metal systems built to last decades.
Why Replacement May Be Needed
- Severe Rust or Corrosion: When coatings and repairs can’t restore performance.
- Leaks and Water Damage: Persistent leaks at seams or fasteners indicate the roof is past its service life.
- Storm or Hail Damage: Dented or punctured panels that compromise the roof’s integrity.
- End of Lifespan: Most metal roofs last 40–70 years. Beyond that, replacement ensures continued protection.
Our Replacement Process
- Full inspection to evaluate the existing roof and structure.
- Tear-off or retrofit installation depending on condition and code.
- New panels fabricated to fit your building—often standing seam, R-panel, or corrugated profiles.
- Updated flashings, sealants, and coatings for long-term waterproofing.
FAQ: Do You Replace Old Industrial Metal Roofs?
Q: Can you install new metal over the old roof?

Q: How long does replacement take?
A: Most projects take 1–3 weeks, depending on building size and complexity.
Q: Will replacement disrupt my business operations?
A: We work in sections to keep your facility watertight and minimize downtime.
Q: Is replacement better than repair?
A: If the roof is near the end of its life or has widespread issues, replacement is the most cost-effective long-term solution.
