Commercial Roofing and Asphalt Paving FAQs in Atlanta

 

Commercial Roofing Services FAQs

What services does Advanced Roofing & Paving offer in Atlanta?

Advanced Roofing & Paving is a full-service roofing contractor and paving company serving Atlanta. We specialise in commercial roofing, roof repairs, metal roofing, TPO installation, roof coatings, as well as asphalt paving, parking lot repairs, and asphalt sealcoating for commercial and industrial properties.

Do you provide commercial roofing services in Atlanta?

Yes. We provide complete commercial roofing in Atlanta, including new roof installations, replacements, inspections, maintenance, and emergency roof repairs. We work with offices, warehouses, retail centres, industrial buildings, and multi-unit properties throughout the Atlanta area.

What types of commercial roofing systems do you install?

As an experienced commercial roofer, we install TPO roofing, metal and aluminum roofing, flat roofing systems, and energy-efficient roof coatings. We help property owners choose the best option based on building type, budget, and long-term performance.

Are you a certified TPO installer?

Yes. We are a professional TPO installer with extensive experience installing TPO roofing systems for commercial properties throughout Atlanta.

Do you offer metal roofing for commercial buildings?

Yes. Metal roofing is a durable, low-maintenance option for commercial properties. We install and repair metal roofing systems across Atlanta.

Which commercial roofing material is best for Atlanta buildings?

There is no one-size-fits-all answer. TPO roofing is popular for energy efficiency and affordability, metal roofing offers long-term durability, and roof coatings are ideal for extending the life of existing roofs. Climate, budget, and building use all play a role in choosing the right system.

What is the difference between TPO roofing and metal roofing?

TPO roofing is a single-ply membrane ideal for flat roofs and energy efficiency, while metal roofing is a rigid system known for longevity and strength. Both are excellent options for commercial roofing in Atlanta, depending on the roof structure and performance goals.

How do roof coatings compare to full roof replacement?

Roof coatings, such as silicone roof coating, are typically more cost-effective and faster to install than full replacement. However, coatings are best for roofs that are still structurally sound. Replacement may be necessary if the roof has widespread damage.

What is EPDM roofing, and how does it compare to TPO?

EPDM roofing is a durable rubber membrane known for flexibility and long-term performance. Compared to TPO roofing, EPDM performs well in varying temperatures, while TPO offers higher reflectivity and energy efficiency. Both are proven options for commercial roofing in Atlanta, depending on building needs.

What is a built-up roof, and when is it a good option?

Built-up roof installations (BUR) use multiple layers of bitumen and reinforcing fabric to create a highly durable system. BUR is ideal for flat commercial roofs that need strong puncture resistance and long-term reliability.

Do you perform full roof tear-offs?

Yes. We handle complete roof tear-offs when a roof is beyond repair or restoration. Tear-offs allow us to inspect the deck, address hidden issues, and install a new roofing system correctly from the ground up.

Roof Repairs, Coatings, and Maintenance FAQs

Do you handle commercial roof repairs?

Absolutely. We provide fast and reliable roof repairs for leaks, membrane damage, flashing issues, and storm-related problems for commercial buildings.

How do I know if my commercial roof needs repair or replacement?

Common signs include persistent leaks, ponding water, visible membrane damage, rusted metal panels, or increased energy bills. We provide inspections and honest recommendations.

How often should a commercial roof be inspected?

Most commercial roofs should be inspected once or twice per year, as well as after major storms.

What are roof coatings, and do you install them?

Roof coatings are protective systems applied to existing roofs to extend lifespan and improve energy efficiency. We specialise in silicone roof coating for flat and low-slope roofs.

Can roof coatings help avoid a full roof replacement?

In many cases, yes. A silicone roof coating can restore aging roofs and delay replacement, saving property owners money.

Is silicone roof coating right for every roof?

Not always. Silicone coatings work best on structurally sound flat or low-slope roofs. We evaluate each roof before recommending a solution.

How can roof coatings improve energy efficiency?

Reflective roof coatings reduce heat absorption, helping lower cooling costs, especially important for Atlanta’s warm climate.

Do you offer preventative maintenance plans?

Yes. We offer maintenance programs, including inspections, minor roof repairs, and coating upkeep to extend roof life.

Is it better to repair or replace a commercial roof?

Minor or localised issues can often be handled with roof repairs, while widespread deterioration may require replacement. We assess each roof to recommend the most cost-effective long-term solution.

How long do different commercial roofing systems last?

Lifespan depends on installation quality, weather exposure, and ongoing maintenance. Here is what you can typically expect:

  • TPO roofing: 15–25 years
  • Metal roofing: 30–50+ years
  • Roof coatings: 10–20 years (with maintenance)
Are roof coatings temporary or long-term solutions?

High-quality silicone roof coatings can be long-term solutions when properly applied and maintained. They are not a quick fix but a strategic option for extending roof life.

When is a roof tear-off necessary instead of a coating or repair?

A roof tear-off is recommended when there is extensive moisture damage, structural deterioration, or multiple failing layers. If the roof structure is still sound, options like roof repairs or roof coatings may be more cost-effective.

Asphalt Paving and Parking Lot Services FAQs

Do you handle commercial roof repairs?

Yes. We provide asphalt paving services for commercial properties, including new installation, resurfacing, and repairs.

What asphalt maintenance services do you provide?

We offer asphalt sealcoating, asphalt repairs, parking lot repairs, and parking lot sealcoating to protect and extend pavement life.

How long does asphalt paving last?

With proper maintenance, asphalt paving can last 15–25 years. Sealcoating and timely repairs significantly extend its lifespan.

What causes asphalt to crack or fail?

Water infiltration, UV exposure, heavy traffic, poor drainage, and lack of maintenance are common causes.

How often should parking lots be sealcoated?

Most properties benefit from parking lot sealcoating every 2–3 years, depending on traffic and weather exposure.

How long should businesses stay off new asphalt?

Light traffic can usually resume within 24–48 hours, depending on conditions.

Do you provide line striping and parking lot markings?

Yes. We can coordinate or provide line striping as part of parking lot repairs.

What is the difference between asphalt paving and concrete?

Asphalt paving is typically more affordable, faster to install, and easier to repair than concrete. It is also better suited for Atlanta’s temperature fluctuations and heavy traffic loads in commercial settings.

Is sealcoating necessary, or is it optional?

Asphalt sealcoating is a preventative maintenance service that protects pavement from water, UV rays, and chemicals. While technically optional, skipping sealcoating significantly shortens pavement lifespan.

How do asphalt repairs differ from resurfacing?

Asphalt repairs target specific problem areas, while resurfacing involves applying a new layer over the entire surface. The right choice depends on the extent of damage.

Storm Damage and Inspections

Do you handle storm and weather-related damage?

Yes. We inspect and repair damage caused by wind, rain, and hail, and provide detailed documentation when needed.

Can small roofing or paving issues wait?

Minor issues often worsen over time. Early repairs help prevent structural damage and higher repair costs.

How does storm damage affect different roofing materials?

High winds, hail, and heavy rain affect materials differently. Metal roofing resists wind well, TPO roofing can suffer punctures, and roof coatings help prevent water intrusion when properly maintained.

What is FLIR infrared roof imaging, and how does it help?

FLIR infrared roof imaging detects trapped moisture beneath roofing systems that may not be visible during standard inspections. This technology helps pinpoint problem areas, improve repair accuracy, and reduce unnecessary tear-offs for commercial roofs in Atlanta.

Is FLIR infrared roof imaging better than a visual inspection?

FLIR imaging complements visual inspections by identifying hidden moisture issues. While visual inspections are still important, infrared imaging provides deeper insight into roof performance and condition.

Scheduling, Estimates, and Project Management

Do you offer free estimates?

Yes. We provide free, no-obligation estimates for commercial roofing, roof repairs, asphalt paving, and parking lot repairs throughout Atlanta.

How long does a commercial roofing project take?

Timelines depend on roof size, system type, and weather. Many projects are completed in a few days, while larger installations may take longer.

Can you work around business hours?

Yes. We schedule work during off-hours, weekends, or in phases to minimise disruption.

When is the best time of year for roofing or paving work in Atlanta?

Spring through early fall is ideal, but many projects can be completed year-round depending on conditions.

Is one roofing material faster to install than another?

Yes. Roof coatings and TPO systems typically install faster than metal roofing, which requires more structural preparation and detailing.

What types of properties do you work on?

We work with offices, warehouses, retail centres, medical facilities, restaurants, HOAs, apartment complexes, and industrial properties.
