Commercial Roofing Systems We Install
Most commercial buildings in metro Atlanta, including retail strips, warehouses, medical offices, and restaurants, sit under low-slope or flat roofs that demand fundamentally different systems than residential shingles. We install TPO and EPDM single-ply membranes, multi-ply modified bitumen, and fluid-applied membrane systems, selecting the assembly based on your building’s slope, deck type, foot traffic, and rooftop equipment.
TPO is the dominant choice for North Georgia commercial work: its white reflective surface lowers cooling loads through our long, hot summers, and its heat-welded seams create a monolithic, watertight surface. EPDM rubber excels in durability and weathering for buildings with less rooftop traffic, while modified bitumen offers a tough, redundant multi-layer membrane well suited to roofs with heavy mechanical traffic or complex flashing details.
MasterCraftsman Liquid-Applied Membranes
Our MasterCraftsman Liquid-Applied certification sets us apart for the most demanding flat-roof challenges. Liquid-applied membranes are fluid coatings that cure into a fully adhered, seamless waterproofing layer with no seams, laps, or fasteners to fail. Because they are applied as a continuous film, they conform perfectly around drains, curbs, penetrations, and irregular details that are difficult to flash with sheet goods.
These systems are ideal for restoring aging roofs, waterproofing complex rooftop geometries, and protecting structures where a single seam failure would be costly. The certification reflects manufacturer-verified training in surface preparation, mil-thickness control, and detail work, which is what separates a coating that lasts decades from one that fails early. For many North Georgia building owners, a liquid-applied restoration is the most cost-effective path to a watertight roof.
Restoration Versus Full Replacement
Not every aging commercial roof needs to be torn off. If the underlying deck and insulation are dry and structurally sound, a restoration with a reflective coating or liquid-applied membrane can add 10 to 20 years of service life at a fraction of replacement cost, often without disposal fees or tear-off disruption. We core-test and moisture-scan the roof to determine whether the substrate can support restoration.
When membranes are saturated, the insulation is wet, or the deck is compromised, a full replacement is the responsible choice, and we re-roof with a new system matched to your building. We give building owners an honest, documented assessment of both options with projected lifespan and cost, so the decision is driven by the roof’s actual condition rather than a one-size-fits-all sales pitch.
Preventative Maintenance Programs
A commercial roof is a major capital asset, and small problems left unaddressed become expensive interior damage. Our preventative maintenance programs include scheduled inspections, clearing of drains and scuppers, resealing of penetrations and flashings, and documented condition reports you can use for budgeting and warranty compliance. Most single-ply manufacturer warranties actually require periodic maintenance to stay valid.
We inspect after major storms and on a regular cadence, catching split seams, open laps, and blocked drainage before they let water into the building. For multi-property owners and property managers across North Atlanta, this turns roofing from an unpredictable emergency expense into a planned, manageable line item.
Minimizing Disruption to Your Business
We understand that a roof project cannot shut down your business. Platinum Roofing schedules commercial work around your operating hours, stages materials to keep entrances and parking clear, and contains odor and debris to protect occupants, inventory, and customers below. Founded in 2000 and based in Alpharetta, we coordinate directly with facility managers and tenants so the work is predictable and the building stays open.
