Common commercial roof systems
We'll recommend the best solution after an on-site inspection and moisture assessment. These are common systems we work with:
TPO Roofing (Thermoplastic Polyolefin)
TPO is a single-ply membrane roofing system commonly used for flat and low-slope roofs. It features a white or light-colored reflective surface that helps reduce cooling costs.
- 20-30 year lifespan with proper installation
- Energy-efficient reflective surface
- Heat-welded seams for watertight seal
- Resistant to UV radiation and chemicals
- Cost-effective for large commercial roofs
EPDM Roofing (Ethylene Propylene Diene Monomer)
EPDM is a synthetic rubber membrane known for its durability and flexibility. It's typically black and excels in handling temperature extremes.
- 20-50 year lifespan depending on installation
- Excellent weather resistance
- Flexible and durable material
- Cost-effective installation
- Proven performance in extreme temperatures
Modified bitumen
Durable, time-tested, and often a strong choice for roofs with heavy foot traffic.
Coatings & restoration
When the roof is structurally sound, coatings can extend service life and improve reflectivity.
Metal for commercial
Excellent for certain buildings and slopes. We'll confirm details like thermal movement and flashing requirements.
TPO vs EPDM: Which is Right for Your Roof?
TPO Roofing
Best for: Buildings where energy efficiency is a priority, especially in hot climates. The reflective white surface can significantly reduce cooling costs.
Advantages:
- Energy-efficient reflective surface
- Heat-welded seams create strong bonds
- Resistant to chemicals and oils
- Environmentally friendly material
- Good for new construction
Considerations:
- Requires professional installation for proper seam welding
- Can be more expensive than EPDM initially
- White surface may show dirt over time
EPDM Roofing
Best for: Cost-conscious projects, roofs with many penetrations, and areas with extreme temperature variations.
Advantages:
- Proven track record (used since 1960s)
- Excellent flexibility and durability
- Cost-effective material and installation
- Handles temperature extremes well
- Good for both new and replacement roofs
Considerations:
- Black color absorbs heat (higher cooling costs)
- Seams require careful installation
- Can shrink over time if not properly installed
Our Recommendation: The best choice depends on your specific building, climate, budget, and energy goals. We'll assess your roof and provide a recommendation based on your needs. Both TPO and EPDM are excellent choices when properly installed by experienced professionals.
Commercial roofing FAQ
Do you work on flat roofs and low-slope systems?
Yes. We handle flat and low-slope commercial roofs and can recommend the best approach—repair, restoration coating, or replacement—based on the roof condition and budget.
What is TPO roofing?
TPO (Thermoplastic Polyolefin) is a single-ply membrane roofing system commonly used for flat and low-slope commercial and residential roofs. It features a white or light-colored reflective surface that helps reduce cooling costs. TPO roofing is known for its durability, resistance to UV radiation, and energy efficiency. The membrane is typically heat-welded at seams to create a watertight seal. TPO roofs can last 20-30 years with proper installation and maintenance.
What is EPDM roofing?
EPDM (Ethylene Propylene Diene Monomer) is a synthetic rubber membrane used for flat and low-slope roofs. It's a durable, flexible material that's typically black in color and known for its excellent weather resistance and longevity. EPDM roofing can last 20-50 years depending on installation quality and maintenance. It's installed in large sheets with seams sealed using adhesive or tape. EPDM is popular for both commercial and residential flat roofs due to its cost-effectiveness and proven performance.
Can you help prevent leaks with a maintenance plan?
Absolutely. Proactive inspections and minor repairs are often the most cost-effective way to extend roof life and reduce disruption for tenants and staff.
How do you minimize disruption for a business?
We coordinate access, staging, and work hours when possible, keep the site clean, and communicate daily so your team knows what to expect.
