Good Shepherd Roofing recently completed an Atlanta commercial roof replacement using a high-performance TPO flat roofing system for a commercial building located in Chamblee, Georgia. Chamblee, a suburb of Atlanta, is situated near Doraville, Dunwoody, Sandy Springs, and Decatur, making it a thriving area for both retail and professional services. This project involved replacing the old roofing system of a mixed-use commercial building that housed retail space on the first floor and professional office space on the second floor. With unique structural challenges and the need for a durable, long-lasting roofing solution, Good Shepherd Roofing provided a fully adhered TPO flat roofing solution, ensuring enhanced durability and efficiency for the client.

The client faced significant issues with their existing flat roof, which had suffered damage during a heavy storm, leading to ongoing leaks and disruptions. The need for a complete commercial roof replacement was apparent to protect the integrity of the building and ensure comfort for the retail and office tenants. Additionally, the second-floor structure featured high, open ceilings, which meant that a traditional mechanically fastened TPO system wouldn’t be feasible. Instead, a fully adhered TPO flat roofing solution was necessary to provide a high-quality, leak-free outcome.

After evaluating several options, the client chose the fully adhered TPO flat roofing system recommended by Good Shepherd Roofing. This type of system was chosen for its superior performance, especially in flat roofing applications for commercial buildings. It also provided the best cost-to-performance ratio, aligning with the client’s budget while offering the necessary durability and protection.

The building’s flat roof spanned approximately 35 squares, which, while relatively small for a commercial roofing project, presented unique challenges that required specialized attention. Initially, the plan involved a mechanically fastened TPO system; however, upon inspection, our team identified the need for a fully adhered solution due to the unique high-ceiling design. This change required adjustments to the materials and methods used, demonstrating our flexibility and commitment to delivering the best results.

Another challenge was the building’s location within a busy commercial complex in Chamblee, where restricted access and limited parking required a strategic approach. Good Shepherd Roofing addressed these logistical difficulties by assigning a full-time project coordinator to manage site safety, traffic control, and crew coordination. To minimize disruption to tenants, the commercial roof replacement was completed within a 48-hour timeframe, demonstrating both efficiency and professionalism.

This Atlanta commercial roof replacement involved several complex penetrations in the flat roof, including HVAC systems, plumbing, and electrical installations. The fully adhered TPO flat roofing solution used advanced materials to ensure that each of these roof penetrations was effectively sealed and integrated into the system, providing a robust and leak-proof outcome. This attention to detail is what sets Good Shepherd Roofing apart in the realm of commercial roofing.

The new TPO flat roofing system provided several immediate benefits:

The client was highly satisfied with the completed commercial roofing project, particularly appreciating Good Shepherd Roofing’s ability to accommodate the tenants’ schedules and ensure minimal disruption. The regular updates provided by our project manager, including pictures and status reports, were also well-received and added an extra layer of transparency to the project.

The result of this Atlanta commercial roof replacement was a satisfied landlord and a worry-free roofing solution. The newly installed, fully adhered TPO flat roofing system not only resolved all previous issues but also positioned the building for improved efficiency and durability, allowing both the landlord and tenants to focus on their respective businesses without concern for future leaks or disruptions.
