RECENT PROJECTS / FRANKLIN, TN
A failing metal roof recovered with Elevate TPO—completed in one week while the tenants stayed open.
This multi-tenant retail and office center in Cool Springs had a metal roof with widespread leaks. Underdog Roofing installed an Elevate 60-mil TPO flute fill retrofit over the existing metal panels, avoiding a full tear-off.
The work included new penetration flashing, wrapped parapets, and new gutters and downspouts. The completed installation qualifies for a 20-year No Dollar Limit manufacturer warranty from Elevate, subject to its terms.
Property: Multi-tenant retail / office center
System: Elevate 60-mil TPO flute fill retrofit
Scope: Roof recover, flashing, parapet wrap, gutters
Area: 15,000 sq ft / 150 squares
Location: Cool Springs, Franklin, Tennessee
Rusted metal panels and failed penetrations were allowing leaks across the roof. With tenants operating below, a full tear-off would have added cost and disruption.
About a dozen HVAC condensers, along with pipe and exhaust vents, required careful flashing. Drainage also needed attention to move water away from the roof and storefronts.
Crews secured loose metal panels and fasteners before beginning the recover.
EPS foam filled the low areas between the metal ribs. A 1/2-inch cover board created a smooth, solid base for the membrane.
A mechanically fastened white TPO membrane with heat-welded seams provides the new waterproofing surface.
HVAC curbs, pipes, and vents were flashed with TPO. Front parapets and architectural features were wrapped for a continuous finish.
New gutters and downspouts direct rainwater off the roof and away from the building.
The owner received a new single-ply roofing system without removing the existing metal roof. Installation was completed in one week, with tenants remaining open throughout the work.
The reflective white membrane helps reduce summer heat absorption, while the flute fill adds insulation value. The installation carries a 20-year Elevate NDL warranty under the manufacturer’s terms.
