A complete commercial roofing system

TPO, short for thermoplastic polyolefin, is a single-ply roofing membrane commonly used on low-slope commercial buildings. Its seams are heat-welded, and white TPO offers a reflective roof surface.

Bluefin Exteriors LLC evaluates the roof as a complete assembly: deck, insulation, cover board where specified, membrane attachment, seams, flashings, penetrations, and drainage. We explain the proposed work in a written scope so you know what is included.

Replacement, repair, or another approach?

Recurring leaks, failed details, wet insulation, or damage to the existing roof call for a careful inspection. Some localized problems can be repaired, while other roofs need replacement. The existing layers and deck condition help determine the appropriate approach.

We assess the property before recommending a tear-off or any other reroofing option. Where restoration may be practical, we can also discuss roof coatings. A coating is not a substitute for correcting underlying moisture or damaged components.

Our Birmingham TPO replacement project

Bluefin’s documented Birmingham commercial project involved a wind-damaged roof. The old EPDM, insulation board, and built-up roofing were removed down to the decking before a new TPO roof system was installed.

View the Birmingham TPO project and photo. This example shows our actual work; the scope for your building will depend on its own conditions.

Details, drainage, and ongoing maintenance

Roof drains, scuppers, parapets, curbs, and rooftop equipment create details that deserve as much attention as the open membrane. We discuss access, roof penetrations, and the building’s operations when planning work.

After installation, follow the selected system’s maintenance and warranty requirements. Bluefin offers a five-year labor warranty on roof installations, with the applicable terms set out in the written agreement. Any manufacturer warranty is separate and must be identified in the proposal.

TPO roofing questions

Can a leaking TPO roof be repaired?

Often a localized issue can be repaired if the surrounding system remains serviceable. We inspect the membrane, seams, flashing, insulation condition, and drainage before recommending repair or replacement.

Can TPO go over an existing roof?

That depends on the existing roof layers, moisture, structural conditions, code requirements, and selected system. We evaluate those conditions before proposing a reroofing method.

What determines the cost?

Roof area, tear-off requirements, insulation, deck repairs, access, drainage, and the number of roof details all affect the scope. Request an inspection for a project-specific proposal.
