Stop Roof Leaks—Upgrade Without Tearing Off
Your aging metal roof can perform like new without the cost and downtime of a full replacement. Our retrofit system installs over existing panels, sealing leaks and lowering energy bills so you stay focused on running your business.
Metal Roof Retrofits in North GA
Rust blisters, loose fasteners, and summer heat all shorten a roof’s life and drain your budget. Left alone, those problems invite drips that threaten stock, machinery, and schedules.
At Umbrella Roofing, we add a lightweight insulated cover-board and new waterproof membrane over your existing deck, stopping leaks and adding decades of service life—often in half the time of a tear-off.

Retrofit Methods That Save Time & Money
Single-Ply Overlay
We fasten a structural board over the old ribs, then weld a seamless TPO or PVC sheet on top. The new surface reflects sunlight, cuts cooling costs, and comes with a manufacturer warranty. Because the original panels stay in place, you avoid disposal fees and keep your operation open during installation.
Structural Purlin Reinforcement
If your building needs extra support, we add light-gauge purlins between existing ones before the overlay. This spreads loads evenly and prepares the deck for future equipment such as solar arrays or HVAC upgrades—all without disrupting occupants below.
Reflective Coatings for Retrofits
A bright white acrylic or silicone topcoat goes over the membrane to bounce heat and UV rays. Facilities report up to a 15 °F cooler interior on hot summer afternoons, which lowers HVAC runtime and extends equipment life.
Skylight & Curb Upgrades
Old skylight curbs often leak first. We install new insulated curbs and shatter-proof domes that match the retrofit height, restoring natural light while preserving the watertight seal.
Maintenance & Warranty Packages
Annual inspections, fastener checks, and membrane cleaning keep your new roof performing at its peak for the full warranty term. Small fixes are handled on the spot, avoiding bigger bills later.
