Commercial TPO Roofing in Northern Virginia
Are you looking for a cost-effective and efficient commercial roofing solution?
What is TPO roofing?
Benefits of TPO Roofing
To understand the difference between TPO roofing and the alternatives, it’s best to start with TPO roofing benefits. You don’t have to watch a membrane roofing video, call every roofing contractor, or learn about things like roof penetrations, polyolefin techniques, EPDM, PVC and scrim to get started on your flat roofing project.
Instead, we help our homeowners and building owner customers make informed decisions by explaining the benefits of single ply roofing and the return they may get on their new roof investment.
- TPO membrane roof is one that is long-lasting and exceptionally durable
- TPO flat roofs are environmentally friendly
- TPO membrane is extremely waterproof
- TPO roof and roofing materials are easy to maintain or repair
- TPO roofs have reflective properties and can reduce energy costs
- TPO roofing made from ethylene propylene rubber, bonding adhesive, and other roofing materials is less expensive than alternatives
TPO roofing materials vs. traditional materials
TPO roofing is also environmentally friendly. Thermoplastic polyolefin (TPO) and ethylene propylene (or EPDM) are both recyclable materials. When a traditional roofing system is replaced, it will often be taken to a landfill and dumped, rather than recycled. Alternatively, new roofs may be installed over old shingles, but this can – over time – increase the weight burden on the property as the layers increase.
The roofing industry is increasingly moving towards environmentally friendly options as new roofing material (like membrane roofs) become available and popular. Not only is a single-ply roofing/TPO roofing system more beneficial for the customer, but it is also one more way we can be responsible for our environment.
Another benefit of TPO roofing is the longevity it can provide. Thanks to the materials that comprise TPO roofing, you can expect your new roof to be heat, mold, and generally weather-resistant when installed by a professional team. Some options allow a TPO roof to be fire resistant too. That means that with an expert team (that correctly installs and connects the seams of your TPO roof), you can expect to have your new roof for up to thirty years.
If roofing system costs are important, then TPO roofing may be a good option. Per sq ft, the price for TPO roofing material is typically lower than alternatives like PVC roofing. However, your contractor’s installation cost may vary and depend on how many sheets are needed, how the roof is mechanically attached, the number of seams, etc. It’s always important to make sure you understand the full roof costs and benefits of TPO roofs before making any decisions.
Before beginning a commercial roofing project, whether traditional or single-ply membrane roofing, start with an expert in the roofing industry. TPO roof installation by unqualified contractors can lead to unnecessary mistakes. From roof leaks that occur when seams are installed wrong to a lack of understanding of mechanically attached roof details during installation. TPO roofing installation requires an expert in singly ply roofing and roofing systems to avoid damage and frustration.
Tips to Find a Qualified Roofing Company in Your Area
When you need help with an existing roof, it’s hard to know which roofing company to trust. That’s why we believe in offering a free inspection to help you get started. You can meet our roofers and ask questions about our process before you begin any project. A commercial roof can be a big investment and it’s important to be able to navigate the process with a trusted partner (which will also keep you happy post navigation)!
In addition, we recommend a few things to help you choose the best contractor for your commercial roof project. First, look for a contractor experienced in TPO roofs. You should be able to ask questions about single-ply sheets, EPDM, insulation, rubber roofing membranes and more and get an educated response. Or, better yet, have a partner that can answer questions and help educate you in those areas as you consider TPO installation.
Often, it’s easiest to start your search for a TPO roof expert online. Google makes it easy to find a roofer in your area and compile a quick list of companies to start with. From there, look for online reviews about the roofers you’ve chosen. You can begin with the Better Business Bureau or with independent reviews like those found on Angie’s List, Google and Yelp.
Next, look for a well-rounded roofer that’s been in business for a while in your area. You may find that you end up with a range of quotes before you begin your project, so it can be difficult to choose on price alone. A low bid may seem like a great idea on the surface, but there are multiple layers to consider before making any decisions. The cheapest contractor may be the one that has caused damage during roofing applications or disappears after signing a contract. Do your research and read actual reviews so you can consider the information you can find there against price.
With an experienced business, like CCI, you can trust that the company will use the best products from the right manufacturer with extended warranty on their material. A membrane roof is a great asset from the right manufacturer when installed correctly. Don’t go with the contractor in the cheapest range only to learn they’re not an expert in membrane roofing after all.
