Springhill Suites by Marriott Full Roof Replacement – Athens, GA

When the SpringHill Suites by Marriott in Athens, Georgia, needed a complete roof replacement, they turned to the trusted team at Watertight Roofing for a long-lasting and efficient solution. Our crew was proud to deliver a high-quality roofing system designed to protect this well-known hospitality property for decades to come.

Project Overview

  • Location: Athens, GA
  • Total Roof Area: ~16,000 sq. ft. (11,600 sq. ft. of shingles + 4,200 sq. ft. of TPO)
  • Duration: Approximately 3 weeks
  • System: TPO, Shingles, and Standing Seam Metal Roofing

The Challenge

Over time, the existing roof at SpringHill Suites had reached the end of its service life. The substrate had deteriorated, and multiple leaks were compromising the integrity of the building and guest comfort. With a property that operates around the clock, downtime wasn’t an option—so the client needed a durable, energy-efficient roofing system that could be installed efficiently and withstand years of wear.

Our Solution

Watertight Roofing provided a comprehensive roof replacement designed to deliver performance, efficiency, and longevity.

Our team:

  • Installed a premium shingle roofing system with high-performance underlayment for superior weather protection.
  • Added enhanced waterproofing around all penetrations and details to prevent future leaks.
  • Upgraded insulation to improve the building’s overall energy efficiency.
  • Fabricated and installed custom flashing for a watertight, professional finish.

By combining multiple roofing systems, including TPO, shingles, and standing seam metal—we ensured every area of the roof was matched with the most effective and durable material for its specific use.
