Commercial TPO Roofing Systems In Springfield, MO

TPO is a single-ply membrane made for flat and low-slope roofs. It comes in wide rolls, and our crew joins the sheets by welding the seams with hot air. The laps fuse into one piece instead of relying on glue or tape. Most TPO goes on white, which reflects summer sun off the roof instead of letting it soak into the building below.

We put TPO on warehouses, retail strips, offices, churches, schools and apartment buildings across Southwest Missouri. It works best when the roof is mostly open field with a reasonable number of units and penetrations. If your roof takes grease from kitchen exhaust or chemical discharge, we will usually talk with you about PVC instead, since it handles those conditions better.

Most of the buildings we roof stay open the whole time. We start with an inspection, including core cuts to see what is under the surface and whether the insulation is wet. That tells us whether we can recover over the existing roof or need to tear it off. We plan material lifts and work areas around your hours, and we only open as much roof as we can close back up that day.

• InsulationWe replace wet boards and add tapered insulation where water has been sitting.
• AttachmentThe membrane is mechanically fastened or fully adhered, based on the deck and the wind exposure.
• SeamsEvery seam is hot-air welded, then probed by hand to check for gaps.
• Flashing and drainsWalls, curbs, pipes and drains get membrane flashing, and we replace drain parts that are worn out.

Our TPO projects generally run $800 to $1,500 per roofing square, and a square is 100 square feet. Where a job lands in that range depends on tear-off versus recover, how much wet insulation has to come out, the insulation and attachment method, the number of curbs, drains and penetrations, edge metal, and how hard it is to get material onto the roof.

A flat roof usually tells you when it is near the end. Watch for water that stands for days after a rain, seams that are open or lifting, blisters and soft spots underfoot, stained ceiling tiles, and leaks that come back in the same places after repairs. When we see those, we will tell you plainly whether a repair buys real time or replacement is the better spend.
