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.

How can I get an accurate quote for my roof?
Every roof is different. Call Roof Nuts at 404-476-6851 or visit https://RoofNutsGA.com to schedule your free estimate.

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.
