What is TPO Roofing and Why is it the Best Choice for Texas?
TPO roofing is a single-ply, reflective membrane known for its exceptional durability and heat-shielding properties. Unlike traditional built-up roofs, TPO features heat-welded seams that create a monolithic, watertight bond stronger than the material itself, making it nearly impervious to the leaks common in DFW’s heavy rain seasons.
Complete Guide to TPO Roofing: Cost, Benefits, and Longevity
Thermoplastic Polyolefin (TPO) is one of the fastest-growing commercial roofing systems on the market. If you are considering a high-performance, cost-effective solution for your flat or low-slope roof, here is what you need to know.
How Much Does TPO Roofing Cost?
On average, a TPO roofing installation ranges from $6 to $12 per square foot. Your final investment depends on the roof’s total square footage, the condition of the existing substrate, the thickness of the membrane (typically 45, 60, or 80 mil), and the chosen insulation.
The Benefits of Installing a TPO "Cool Roof"
Drastic Energy Savings
The white, highly reflective surface of a TPO membrane repels UV rays, significantly reducing cooling costs during blistering Texas summers
Weather & Hail Resistance
Engineered for the DFW climate, our TPO systems offer superior resistance to puncturing, tearing, and high-wind uplift
Environmentally Friendly
TPO is 100% recyclable and contains no plasticizers, making it a sustainable choice for modern commercial buildings
Cost-Effective Longevity

Why TPO is a "Low-Maintenance" Powerhouse
The reason many DFW property managers choose Thermoplastic Polyolefin is its simplified care routine:
Chemical Resistance: Naturally resistant to oils, fats, and common rooftop chemicals, making it ideal for restaurants and industrial facilities.
Algae & Mold Resistance: The smooth surface of the TPO membrane prevents the buildup of organic matter that can rot traditional roofing materials.
Easy Cleaning: Occasional pressure washing is often all that’s needed to restore the high reflectivity of your “cool roof,” keeping your energy bills low.
TPO/EPDM/PVC: Which is Better?
TPO/EPDM: TPO offers better energy savings due to its reflectivity and has stronger, welded seams compared to EPDM’s taped seams.
TPO/PVC: TPO provides similar performance and grease resistance to PVC but at a significantly more affordable price point.
Common TPO Concerns & Solutions
While TPO is highly reliable, poor installation can lead to premature aging or seam failure. We prevent these issues by using high-quality membranes and ensuring every seam is rigorously tested during the installation process to withstand high-heat climates.
