Do you offer re-roofing services or just full replacements?
Need a New Commercial Roof—But Not a Full Tear-Off?
We Can Help.
When your commercial roof starts to fail, you may think your only option is a full replacement.
But here’s something many property owners don’t realize:
In some cases, re-roofing is a smart, code-compliant, and budget-friendly solution.
At L&L Roofing & Construction, we offer both re-roofing (also called overlays) and full tear-off replacements, depending on your roof’s condition, structure, and goals.
Let’s break down what you need to know—and whether re-roofing might be the right move for your building.
FAQ: Do you offer re-roofing services or just full replacements?
What Is Re-Roofing?
Re-roofing is when we install a new roofing layer over your existing system—without tearing the old one off.
This method is most common with:
TPO or EPDM flat roofs
Metal roof retrofits
Modified bitumen or asphalt-based systems
It’s designed to extend your roof’s life and improve performance without the cost and disruption of full replacement.
Benefits of Re-Roofing a Commercial Roof
✅ Lower cost than full replacement
✅ Less downtime—no tear-off mess or structural exposure
✅ Minimal disruption to tenants or business operations
✅ Can improve energy efficiency with added insulation or reflective membranes
When Re-Roofing Isn’t a Good Fit
Not every roof qualifies for a re-roof. We never cut corners, and we’ll only recommend it if it’s safe, code-compliant, and cost-effective.
You may need a full replacement if:
There are two or more existing roofing layers (per code limits)
The roof structure is compromised or sagging
There’s significant moisture or insulation damage below the membrane
You want to change roofing systems (e.g., switch from membrane to metal)
We inspect every roof thoroughly and give you honest answers with photos and reports—no guesswork.
FAQs: Re-Roofing vs. Replacement for Commercial Roofs
Q: Is re-roofing allowed by Georgia building code?
A: Yes—as long as the existing roof meets structural and moisture standards and doesn’t already have two layers. We always follow code and obtain proper permits.
Q: How long does a re-roof last compared to full replacement?
A: A properly installed re-roof can last 10–20 years, depending on the materials used and the condition of the original roof.
Q: Can I re-roof over a leaking roof?
A: It depends. If the leaks are minor and isolated, yes. But if the insulation is wet or the structure is compromised, we’ll recommend a tear-off instead.
Q: What’s the cost difference between re-roofing and replacement?
A: Re-roofing is generally 20–40% less expensive, depending on roof size and system type.
Q: Do you handle permits for both re-roof and replacement projects?
A: Absolutely. We handle all local permitting and inspections with the City of Gainesville or surrounding municipalities.
