Re-roofs and restorations for self-storage campuses, climate-controlled storage buildings, and storage-warehouse conversions across NC, SC, GA, TN. Low-slope and standing-seam metal, TPO, EPDM, and silicone restoration — sequenced building-by-building so tenants never lose 24/7 access.
A licensed PM has your request. We'll reach out within 24 business hours — typically sooner. If your roof is actively leaking, call (866) 487-8572 for same-day response.
The self-storage boom that filled the Carolinas, Georgia, and Tennessee with drive-up rows and climate-controlled buildings happened largely between 2000 and 2018. Most of that stock was built fast on developer-grade exposed-fastener metal, and the standard failure clock on those neoprene washer screws is 12 to 20 years — which means a large share of the region's storage roofs are now at or past the point where leaks start showing up in tenant units. Storage operators feel it differently than a single-tenant warehouse owner does: a roof leak isn't one operational problem, it's a wave of damaged-property claims from individual renters, each one a reputational and liability event. The roof is the single largest deferred-maintenance liability on most storage balance sheets.
We focus on storage as a distinct discipline because the constraint isn't the roof system — it's the tenants underneath it. A storage facility can carry dozens or hundreds of leaseholders who expect uninterrupted 24/7 access to their units, so the work has to be sequenced building-by-building and row-by-row, never blocking drive aisles or exposing contents to weather. That operational discipline is closer to occupied-tenant property management than to industrial new construction. We bid storage portfolios as phased multi-building scopes with line-item pricing per building, so operators can stage spend across budget years and post tenant access notices well ahead of mobilization.
Typical storage projects we work: multi-building drive-up campus re-roofs (metal re-fasten, standing-seam retrofit, or silicone restoration), climate-controlled storage membrane replacement (TPO or EPDM on single large-footprint buildings), storage-warehouse conversions (older industrial buildings repurposed for self-storage), and storm and hail claim response across exposed low-slope metal. Each project includes a tenant-access phasing plan, OSHA fall-protection compliance, and manufacturer-backed warranty registration per building.
Installed cost runs $4–12 per square foot depending on whether the building takes a restoration coating, a metal retrofit, or a full membrane replacement. Storage campuses are many small roofs rather than one field, so we bid them as phased multi-building scopes — portfolio pricing is available for operators with several sites.
Every storage re-roof follows a six-phase process built around tenant access and per-building system selection, to NRCA commercial standards and OSHA 29 CFR 1910.28 fall protection. The method scales the same way from a three-row rural drive-up site to a multi-building climate-controlled campus — what changes is the phase count and the mix of systems across the buildings, not the discipline.
Drone and walk survey of every building on the campus — drive-up rows, climate-controlled buildings, and any storage-warehouse conversions are inventoried separately because each needs a different system. We moisture-scan low-slope sections, map fastener-failure density on metal roofs, and tag the buildings by remaining service life so operators can phase spend across budget years. Line-item bid by building delivered in 36 hours.
We build a building-by-building (or row-by-row) sequence that keeps every other unit accessible. Gate-code, drive-aisle, and dumpster-staging logistics are coordinated with on-site management. Operators receive a written schedule to post tenant access notices before crews mobilize. No unit loses 24/7 access for longer than the active work window on its own building.
Drive-up metal rows: re-fasten with oversized gasketed screws, metal-over-metal standing-seam retrofit, or silicone restoration coating based on panel condition. Climate-controlled buildings: TPO or EPDM membrane to spec. Conversions: TPO over recover board on the existing deck. Each building gets the system its substrate and budget support — no house spec forced across the campus.
Each building's roof is opened and made weather-tight in the same working window — no section is left exposed over tenant contents. Failed fasteners, rotted purlin sections, and corroded flashings are replaced. Metal-over-metal retrofits avoid tear-off entirely, eliminating debris and tenant disruption on drive-up rows.
Ridge caps, endwall and sidewall flashings, eave closures, and every fastener penetration are detailed to manufacturer spec. Membrane seams are heat-welded (TPO) or seam-taped/adhered (EPDM). On coating systems, every seam and fastener head is reinforced with embedded fabric before the topcoat. Penetrations photo-logged per building.
Final moisture scan confirms a dry substrate. Manufacturer NDL or silicone-system renewable warranty registered per building. As-built documentation, fastener/penetration maps, and a recommended re-coat schedule delivered to the operator. For multi-site portfolios, we standardize the spec so future sites bid and warranty consistently.

Drive-up self-storage rows are the most common storage roof and almost always low-slope or standing-seam metal. The failure point is rarely the panel itself — it's the thousands of exposed-fastener penetrations whose neoprene washers shrink and crack with UV exposure, followed by ridge caps, endwall flashings, and side-laps. For early-stage failure we re-fasten with oversized gasketed screws; for advanced corrosion a metal-over-metal standing-seam retrofit goes over the existing panels with no tear-off and no debris in the drive aisles; for sound substrate a fabric-reinforced silicone coating seals every seam and fastener and carries a renewable warranty.
Climate-controlled storage buildings — the multi-story or large-footprint conditioned facilities now standard in metro markets like Charlotte and Atlanta — carry low-slope TPO or EPDM membrane over insulation. These behave like any commercial flat roof and are replaced to spec with full tear-off or recover, sequenced so conditioned units stay protected. Storage-warehouse conversions — older industrial shells repurposed into self-storage — inherit whatever deck and structure the original building had, so we survey substrate condition first and most often spec TPO over recover board. We also handle general-storage and records-storage warehouses that aren't self-storage at all: same low-slope membrane discipline, single-operator access instead of tenant phasing.
Across all three, low-slope metal storage roofs are unusually exposed to hail and wind, so storm response is a recurring part of the work. We document damage building-by-building for insurance claims, reference each damage line to the storm event, and handle restoration end-to-end — including the WNC operators recovering from Tropical Storm Helene under FEMA DR-4827.
