How Much Does Single Ply Roofing Cost in Georgia?
The cost of single ply roofing in Georgia typically ranges from $6 to $12 per square foot installed.
Several factors affect this price:
Membrane type
TPO (thermoplastic polyolefin): usually more affordable
PVC (polyvinyl chloride): higher cost due to material and chemical resistance
Roof size and layout
Larger roofs usually cost less per square foot
Complex shapes or penetrations (like HVAC units or skylights) increase labor time
Tear-off and disposal
Removing and disposing of old roofing adds to the total cost
Insulation and R-value requirements
Thicker insulation to meet local energy codes or performance goals raises material and labor costs
Labor rates in your area
Local labor costs vary based on demand and project difficulty
Flashing, edging, and details
Proper flashing at walls, curbs, and penetrations is critical and adds cost
For a complete installation, a proper quote should include:
Old roof tear-off (if needed)
New insulation (commonly polyiso, per NRCA recommendations)
Fully adhered, mechanically attached, or ballasted membrane
Flashing and detail work
Warranties and code compliance
FAQ
What’s the difference between TPO and PVC roofing?
TPO is more affordable and widely used in commercial and residential low-slope roofing. PVC is more chemical- and grease-resistant, often used on restaurants or facilities with rooftop exhaust.
Is single ply roofing good for homes in Georgia?
Yes. TPO and PVC both reflect sunlight and reduce heat absorption—important for Georgia’s hot summers. Installed properly, they can last 20+ years with low maintenance.

Do I need to replace insulation when installing a new membrane?
In most cases, yes. A proper system includes tear-off, new insulation (often polyiso with an R-value of 5.6 per inch), and the membrane itself.
Is single ply roofing energy efficient?
Yes. White membranes like TPO are ENERGY STAR-rated and help reduce cooling costs. Adding polyiso insulation increases energy efficiency even more.
