Thinking About Replacing Your Commercial Roof?
Here’s What to Expect.
A full roof replacement sounds like a huge project—and it is. But with the right contractor, it doesn’t have to feel overwhelming or disruptive.
At L&L Roofing & Construction, we walk every commercial client through what’s involved in replacing a roof—step-by-step, no surprises, and no shortcuts.
If you manage a property in Gainesville, Cumming, Buford, or nearby, and you’re considering a roof replacement, this breakdown is for you.
When Is a Full Roof Replacement Necessary?
You might need a full replacement if your roof has:
- Ongoing leaks or widespread water intrusion
- Storm or hail damage that’s beyond repair
- Wet or deteriorated insulation
- Reached the end of its lifespan (15–30 years depending on system)
- Failed multiple patch repairs or coatings
We always start with a detailed inspection so you can make an informed decision.
What’s Included in a Full Commercial Roof Replacement?
1. Initial Assessment & Proposal
We inspect your entire roof and provide:
- A detailed report with photos
- System recommendations (TPO, EPDM, metal, etc.)
- Project timeline and transparent pricing
- Permit and code upgrade details
You’ll know exactly what you’re getting—no hidden estimates.
2. Permits & Scheduling
We handle:
- City and county permitting
- Notice to tenants or building occupants (if needed)
- Scheduling to minimize disruption to business operations
- Safety planning and crew staging
3. Tear-Off of the Existing Roof
We remove the existing roof system down to the deck unless the structure allows for overlay options.
- Debris is safely contained and hauled away daily.
- We inspect the deck for rot, rust, or damage.
- Any required repairs are made before the new system is installed.
4. Substrate Prep & Insulation
We install or upgrade insulation to meet current Energy Code with R-values and improve building performance.
- Tapered insulation may be used to correct standing water issues.
- Mechanically attached or glued insulation depending on system.
5. Installation of Your Roofing System
We install the new roofing system—whatever you choose:
- TPO or PVC membrane for energy efficiency and reflective protection
- EPDM rubber for proven durability and flexibility
- Modified bitumen for rugged performance
- Standing seam metal roofing for long-term strength
All systems are installed by our in-house commercial crews, never subcontractors.
6. Flashing, Sealing & Penetration Work
We secure it all:
- HVAC curbs
- Skylights
- Drains and scuppers
- Wall transitions
- Edge metal systems
Everything is sealed and watertight to manufacturer specs.
7. Final Walkthrough & Warranty
We complete a final inspection with your team and provide:
- Manufacturer warranty registration
- Our own 5-year workmanship warranty
- Before-and-after photos
- Maintenance recommendations
We stand by our work—and you’ll always know how to reach us.
