What we do here

Our services in Athens-Clarke County

Maintenance-first commercial roofing: we keep the roof you have in service longer, document its condition and respond fast when it leaks.

Preventive Maintenance Programs

Maintenance for medical and institutional roofs

Hospital-adjacent medical offices and institutional buildings carry roofs crowded with rooftop units, curbs and penetrations, and each one is a flashing to keep sound. A program checks them on a schedule, clears drains and records every visit. Strong ARMS covers spring and fall with minor repairs included. Fully ARMed adds quarterly inspections, an annual IR or EFVM survey and a 5-year capital budget report. Side ARMS fits a single smaller roof.

Leak Response & Repair

Leak repair over classrooms, clinics and production

A leak over clinical space, a classroom or a production line is never just a leak. Our 24/7 leak line sends crews that repair the source on low-slope, steep-slope, metal and shingle roofs, close out every repair with photos and track repeat leaks by roof section. Repairs over a set dollar threshold need your written approval before we proceed.

Moisture Surveys & Diagnostics (IR / EFVM)

Moisture mapping for plant and industrial roofs

Large manufacturing and industrial roofs can hide wet insulation across whole sections. Infrared thermography maps it, EFVM pinpoints the breaches that let water in, and both use equipment we own, so repairs are scoped to what the data shows.

Condition Assessments & Roof Asset Reports

Capital planning built for budget cycles

Institutional owners, including campus, school and government facilities, plan roof work around budget cycles that reward documented condition. Our assessments deliver roof plans, section ratings, photos, prioritized repair lists and multi-year capital budgets in the same format for every building.

Restoration & Life-Extension Repairs

Restoring downtown's older roofs

Downtown Athens is full of older masonry buildings with built-up roofs. Where the substrate is sound, section repairs, flashing rebuilds, coatings and drainage corrections cost less than replacement. We diagnose first, so you know which case you're in.

Why ARMS

Why Athens-Clarke owners and managers call ARMS

Advice without a sales angle

ARMS doesn't sell replacements, so a condition report from us is an assessment, not a pitch.

Diagnostic equipment most repair-focused contractors don't own is standard for us.

Federal-grade QC

EM 385-1-1 safety practice and Division 7 specification fluency from federal work, the kind of documentation institutional facilities teams expect.

FAQ

Commercial roofing in Athens-Clarke County: FAQ

Can you document roofs across a campus or institutional portfolio?

Yes. Every building gets the same report format: a roof plan, dated and geotagged photos, condition ratings by section and recommendations, all rolled up into a multi-year capital budget.

Do you work on medical buildings?

Yes. We schedule visits with facility teams, follow a written safety program and document every visit. Repairs over a set dollar threshold need your written approval before we proceed.

IR or EFVM: which survey does a plant roof need?

Infrared is best for mapping wet insulation over large areas. EFVM pinpoints breaches in the membrane. We own both and recommend the one that fits your roof and your question, or both together.

Can older downtown Athens roofs be restored instead of replaced?

Often, yes. When the substrate is sound, targeted section repairs, flashing rebuilds, coatings and drainage corrections usually cost less than replacement.

Will you tell me if I need a new roof?

Yes. With no replacement to sell, we'll tell you plainly when a roof is past repair and refer you to a replacement contractor.

Do you serve all of Athens-Clarke County?

Yes. That includes Athens, Winterville and the rest of the consolidated county. Call to confirm your location.
