FAQs
How do I know if my flat roof in Rutledge needs replacement after a storm?
Warning signs include large membrane blisters, widespread ponding water, missing or torn flashing, saturated insulation (spongy feel underfoot), interior leaks that appear in multiple spots, and visible structural sagging. After any severe hail or wind event in Rutledge, schedule a professional inspection; our Haag-certified inspectors use infrared scanning and core samples to determine if the damage is beyond repair and whether a full replacement is the cost-effective solution.
What flat-roof materials do you recommend for better storm resistance in Rutledge’s climate?
We typically recommend single-ply TPO (60–80 mil), PVC with reinforced scrim, or a two-ply modified bitumen system topped with a reflective cap sheet. These membranes offer high wind-uplift ratings, puncture resistance against hail, and superior flexibility for the temperature swings common in northeastern Georgia. For facilities requiring extra durability, we can install a liquid-applied silicone coating over new insulation to create a seamless, hail-resistant surface.
How quickly can you respond to emergency storm damage on a commercial flat roof?
Our Rutledge storm-response team is on call 24/7. We can usually deploy tarping and temporary dry-in measures within 2–4 hours of your call, even during widespread storm events. Full replacement materials are ordered immediately after insurance approval, allowing most projects to start within 5–10 business days.
Will my insurance cover the cost of a flat-roof replacement caused by storm damage?
Most commercial and residential policies in Georgia cover sudden and accidental storm damage. We provide a detailed damage report, photographs, and an Xactimate estimate to streamline your claim. We also meet with the adjuster on site to advocate for full replacement if repairs won’t restore the roof to pre-loss condition. You’re responsible only for your deductible unless your policy lists exclusions or depreciation clauses.
How long does a typical flat-roof replacement take, and will my business operations be interrupted?
A 10,000 sq ft flat roof generally takes 4–6 working days from tear-off to final inspection. We work in sections, installing temporary watertight seals each night so your interior remains protected. For retail or healthcare facilities, we can schedule work after hours or on weekends and set up safety perimeters to keep customer access open, minimizing downtime.
What warranties and maintenance plans do you offer after the replacement?
All full replacements come with a 20- or 25-year NDL (No Dollar Limit) manufacturer’s warranty covering membrane, flashings, and labor. We supplement that with our own 5-year workmanship guarantee. To preserve coverage, we offer semi-annual maintenance programs that include debris removal, drain inspection, and a written condition report—often required by insurers for continued storm-damage protection.
