Commercial Roofing & TPO Systems in East Texas
TPO, EPDM, PVC, and modified-bitumen flat-roof systems for warehouses, offices, retail centers, restaurants, schools, and industrial buildings. Energy-efficient, watertight, and built to last.
Flat Roofs Demand a Different Playbook
Commercial low-slope and flat roofs use single-ply membrane and multi-ply asphalt systems with heat-welded seams, custom flashings, and insulation assemblies that have nothing in common with residential shingle work. We install them by the book — to manufacturer spec and with certified crews.
Energy Savings
White reflective TPO/PVC can cut cooling bills 25–35%
Watertight Seams
Heat-welded membranes form bonds stronger than the sheet itself
LEED / Energy Star
Cool-roof assemblies qualify for tax credits and certification points
Manufacturer Warranties
Up to 30-year material and labor warranties available
The Right System for Your Building
We install and service every major commercial flat-roof system. Here's how each compares so you can make an informed decision for your property.
TPO (Thermoplastic Polyolefin)
The industry-leading energy-efficient flat-roof membrane.
A reinforced single-ply membrane with heat-welded seams, a bright-white reflective surface, and a proven balance of durability, energy efficiency, and cost. The most widely specified commercial membrane in North America.
Best For
- Warehouses, offices, and retail centers
- Buildings targeting LEED / Energy Star credits
- Hot Texas climates where cooling costs dominate the energy bill
- Re-cover projects over existing roofing systems
Benefits
- •Solar Reflectance Index (SRI) of 104–110 — cuts AC costs 25–35%
- •Heat-welded seams stronger than the membrane itself
- •45, 60, or 80 mil thickness options (60 mil is the industry standard)
- •100% recyclable; no chlorine or plasticizers
Considerations
- •Newer technology than EPDM — shorter field-proven track record
- •Requires certified installers for proper seam welding
EPDM (Ethylene Propylene Diene Monomer)
Proven rubber roofing with decades of real-world performance.
A synthetic-rubber single-ply membrane with a field-proven track record dating to the 1970s. Exceptional elasticity, cold-weather flexibility, and the lowest installed cost of any single-ply system.
Best For
- Budget-focused commercial buildings
- Cold or mixed climates
- Large simple rectangular roofs (warehouses, distribution centers)
- Buildings requiring maximum puncture-tolerant elasticity
Benefits
- •Longest proven service life (25–35 years, often reaching 40)
- •Widest operating temperature range: −40°F to 300°F
- •Exceptional hail and wind resistance due to rubber elasticity
- •Lowest cost per square foot of any single-ply membrane
Considerations
- •Black EPDM absorbs heat (SRI ≈ −2); white EPDM costs more
- •Seam tape requires careful inspection over time
- •Poor resistance to petroleum-based products
PVC (Polyvinyl Chloride)
The strongest single-ply membrane — built for demanding environments.
A thermoplastic membrane with heat-welded seams that exceed the strength of the sheet itself. Unmatched chemical and grease resistance makes PVC the go-to choice for restaurants, hospitals, and industrial facilities.
Best For
- Restaurants and food-service rooftops (grease exposure)
- Hospitals, schools, chemical plants
- High-reflectance cool-roof requirements
- Buildings needing fire-resistant assemblies
Benefits
- •Tensile strength 350+ PPI (exceeds ASTM minimums)
- •Highest solar reflectivity of any membrane (white PVC)
- •Inherently fire-resistant — self-extinguishing
- •Outstanding resistance to animal fats, oils, and chemicals
Considerations
- •Most expensive single-ply option
- •Can crack in sub-zero weather if walked on
- •Requires insulation board beneath membrane
Modified Bitumen (SBS / APP)
Multi-ply asphalt-polymer hybrid — rugged and repairable.
A 2- or 3-ply system that combines traditional asphalt waterproofing with modern polymer modifiers (SBS for flexibility, APP for heat resistance). The multi-layer construction delivers the highest puncture and tensile resistance of any flat-roof system.
Best For
- Roofs with heavy foot traffic or rooftop equipment
- Properties needing ballistic or puncture resistance
- Re-roofing over aging BUR systems
- Climates with large thermal swings
Benefits
- •Highest tensile strength (250–300 psi)
- •Superior puncture resistance (200+ lbs)
- •Redundant multi-ply waterproofing — failure of one layer doesn't cause a leak
- •Granulated cap sheet adds UV and weather protection
Considerations
- •Higher upfront material cost
- •Heavier — may require structural review
- •Dark granular surface absorbs heat unless coated
