Roofing and Construction Services in Georgia, Tennessee and Alabama
Doug Patterson Builders LLC is a family-owned, second-generation construction company based in Chatsworth, Georgia. We handle commercial and residential work across three states, including Dalton and Cleveland. Roofing, remodeling, trim, flooring, decks and spray foam insulation all run through the same licensed team. One point of contact from the first estimate to the final walkthrough.
TPO Commercial Roofing Installation and Repair
TPO is a single-ply membrane built for flat and low-slope commercial roofs. The reflective white surface pushes heat back instead of holding it, which takes load off the HVAC system through a southern summer.
We install new TPO systems and repair existing ones. That includes seam welds, flashing, penetrations, curbs and drains, which is where most flat roof leaks actually begin
What We Handle
- New TPO installation on commercial buildings
- Tear off and re-cover of failing flat roofs
- Seam and flashing repair
- Leak tracing and patching
- Roof condition assessments before a lease or sale
Warehouse, church, retail unit or office with a flat roof? Call (706) 537-0328 for a free assessment.
Asphalt Shingle Roofing and Roof Replacement
Asphalt shingles are the most common residential roof in Georgia and Tennessee for good reason. Solid protection, a clean classic look and a price most budgets can carry.
We install architectural and three-tab shingles, and we replace roofs that have reached the end of their service life. Every replacement includes a deck inspection, new underlayment, correct flashing and ridge ventilation, not just new shingles laid over old problems.
Signs You May Need a Roof Replacement
- Granules collecting in the gutters
- Shingles curling, cupping, cracking or missing
- Daylight or water staining visible in the attic
- Leaks that keep coming back after each storm
- A roof that is past twenty years old

Standing Seam and Metal Roofing
Metal costs more up front and pays it back in lifespan. A properly installed metal roof commonly outlasts two or three shingle roofs, sheds rain and snow fast, and stands up to wind better than most alternatives.
We install standing seam and exposed fastener panels on homes, barns, shops and commercial buildings, finished with the right trim, ridge caps and closures so the details do not leak later.
Metal Roofing Options
- Standing seam panels with concealed fasteners
- Ribbed and exposed fastener panels
- Metal roofs for barns, shops and pole buildings
- Commercial metal roofing
- Colour matching to existing buildings
Planning to stay in the home long term? Metal is usually the better math. Call (706) 537-0328.
Home Renovations and Remodeling
From a single room to a whole house, we take on renovation work with our own crews rather than handing it off to a chain of subcontractors.
Because the same company also roofs, frames, insulates and finishes, a remodel does not sit idle waiting on three different trades to show up.
Renovation Work We Take On
- Full and partial home remodels
- Framing and room additions
- Interior and exterior repairs
- Drywall and finish work
- Custom wood work
Tell us what you have in mind and we will price it honestly. Call (706) 537-0328.
Trim Carpentry and Flooring Installation
Trim is where a job either looks finished or looks rushed. Tight joints, straight lines and clean transitions are the difference, and they only come from taking the time.
We handle interior trim carpentry and flooring together, so the baseboard, the casing and the floor all meet the way they should.
Trim and Flooring Services
- Baseboards, casing and crown molding
- Custom built-ins and wood work
- Stair trim and railings
- Hardwood, laminate and luxury vinyl plank flooring
- Subfloor prep and repair

Custom Deck Building
A deck takes weather from above and weight from below, every day, for years. We build them to handle both, with footings and framing done to code rather than to whatever is fastest.
Pressure treated, composite or a mix. Ground level or elevated. We will walk the space with you and design something that fits the house.
Deck Services
- New deck design and construction
- Railings, stairs and skirting
- Covered decks and porches
- Deck repair and board replacement
- Pressure treated and composite materials

Spray Foam Insulation
Spray foam seals the gaps that fiberglass batts leave behind. It expands into every cavity and stops the air leaks that quietly drive heating and cooling bills up month after month.
We foam attics, crawl spaces, walls in new construction, metal buildings

Questions We Get Asked
Both. TPO and metal systems for commercial buildings, and shingle or metal roofing, remodeling, decks and insulation for homes.
It comes down to the age of the roof, how widespread the damage is and the condition of the decking underneath. A repair on a roof with two years left is money wasted. We will look and give you the honest call, even when the honest call is the cheaper one.
Open cell is lighter, cheaper and good for interior walls and sound. Closed cell is denser, adds a moisture barrier and gives a higher
R-value per inch, which suits crawl spaces, roof decks and metal buildings.
Yes, and that is the reason most of our clients call us. Roofing, framing, insulation, trim, flooring and decks all run through the same team, so nothing stalls between subcontractors.
It depends on the size of the roof, the pitch, access and the weather. We give you a realistic window with the estimate rather than a convenient one.
