Our read: commercial roofing in Athens

Six of Clarke County's seven roofing establishments with paid employees had fewer than 5 employees in Census County Business Patterns for 2023, or 85.7%. The count excludes owners operating without paid employees and does not identify commercial specialists. For an Athens commercial project, ask for a written crew list naming the on-site supervisor and showing which work uses employees or subcontractors.

Does the county staffing statistic show who can handle my Athens commercial project?

The 2023 Census figure describes establishment staffing: 6 of Clarke County's 7 roofing establishments with paid employees had fewer than 5 employees. It does not show the crew assigned to your property. Request a project crew plan that identifies supervision and responsibility for subcontracted work.

What commercial roofing is, and what to ask about it

Commercial roofing covers retail, office, warehouse, church and multi-family buildings. Most of these roofs are flat or low-slope and use single-ply membranes, modified bitumen, built-up roofing or standing seam metal.

Crews, materials and warranties differ from house roofing. A company that is good on shingles may not be the right one for a membrane roof.

Signs you need it

  • Ponding water after rain on a flat roof
  • Open seams or failed flashing at rooftop units and parapets
  • Ceiling stains below drains, units or roof edges
  • A roof near the end of its warranty, with a lease or sale coming up

Ask each roofer

  • How many buildings like mine have you roofed in the last two years?
  • Do you scope the whole drainage path or only the wet spot?
  • Can you scan or core the roof to see whether the insulation is wet?
  • Who holds the membrane warranty, you or the manufacturer?

What Athens changes about commercial roofing

The county has fewer roofing companies with payroll than most cities we cover, so a commercial job may draw few bidders. Ask early who will bid, and whether nearby companies will travel.

A large share of Athens's housing sits outside single-family houses, so flat and low-slope roofs are common. Ask every company about its experience with your type of building, not only with houses.

When hail is reported in Clarke County

July has the most reports, 5 of 11. Reports run from March to October.

The county's biggest hail days

The largest stone in NOAA's record for Clarke County fell on June 6, 2021: 1.5 inches, about the size of a ping-pong ball.

That day brought 2 reports, with the largest from Oconee Hgts.

A commercial roof laid before June 2021 was in place for the largest stone in the record, so ask for a roof survey and keep it with the warranty papers.

The strongest thunderstorm gust was 75 mph, on March 21, 2017.

Why this page prints no city price for commercial roofs

A commercial roof is priced by the building: its area, membrane, insulation, drainage and rooftop equipment. One range per city would mislead.

Ask each company for a written scope and a price per square foot of roof, so bids can be compared line by line.
