What TPO roofing is
TPO (thermoplastic polyolefin) is a single-ply commercial roofing membrane engineered for flat and low-slope roofs. Installed with heat-welded seams, it resists UV radiation, chemical exposure, and temperature cycling. Those are the three factors that kill commercial roofs. A properly installed TPO roof lasts 20+ years with minimal maintenance. White TPO reflects heat and lowers the cooling load on the building. How much you save depends on the roof, the insulation and the HVAC.

Warehouse + Industrial
Large-span TPO, mechanical/HVAC-heavy roofs, zero-downtime phasing.
Institutional
Schools, community buildings, municipal facilities, churches.
Energy efficiency
Reflective white and light membranes reduce cooling load during Atlanta's 90 degree summer conditions.
Heat-welded seams
No adhesives to fail; seams are welded into a single continuous surface that resists wind, ponding water, and thermal movement.
Chemical and grease resistance
TPO performs around restaurants, rooftop HVAC zones, and mechanical equipment where EPDM or aging asphalt systems can deteriorate faster.
Long service life
Properly installed TPO roofs can last 20+ years, with GAF EverGuard warranty options available up to 30 years depending on system design.
Cost-effective performance
TPO typically costs less than PVC while offering better Southeast heat performance than EPDM on many commercial flat roofs.
Recyclable membrane
TPO is a commercially proven roofing system with responsible end-of-life options and broad manufacturer support.
TPO roof repair
A TPO roof rarely fails in the middle of the sheet. It fails at the details. We find the failed detail, weld or rebuild it, and photograph the fix so you can see exactly what changed.
Seam and flashing failures
Welded seams open when the original weld was weak or when the sheet has moved. Wall and curb flashings pull loose for the same reasons. We probe the seam, cut out the failed section, and weld in new membrane. Loose flashings get new membrane welded to the field sheet and a fresh termination at the wall.
Punctures
Dropped tools, rooftop equipment service and foot traffic all puncture TPO. Caught early, a puncture is a small repair. We clean the area, weld a patch over the hole, and check the insulation under it for moisture before we close it up.
Penetrations and pitch pockets
Every pipe, conduit and equipment support that passes through the membrane is a place water can get in. Pitch pocket sealant shrinks and cracks with age. We rebuild failed pitch pockets, replace cracked pipe boots, and reflash penetrations with new membrane.
Drain and ponding damage
Clogged drains and low spots hold water on the roof. Standing water works at the seams around it and wears the sheet faster. We clear and reflash the drains and repair the seams they feed. The written scope notes where the roof holds water, so you can decide whether to add drains or tapered insulation.
Request a Repair Assessment
TPO roof replacement
Repair keeps a sound roof in service. Replacement is the right call when the membrane itself is done. We tell you which one you are looking at, and we show you the photos from the roof walk that back up the answer.
Past 20 years of service
A TPO roof that has been in service for 20 years or more is near the end of its useful life. Repairs still hold, but they come faster each year and the repair line in the budget keeps growing. At that age we price replacement next to repair so you can compare the two on paper.
Widespread seam failure
One open seam is a repair. Seams opening across the whole roof mean the welds or the sheet have reached their limit. Patching them one at a time chases the problem around the roof. A new membrane ends it.
Wet insulation
Water that gets past the membrane soaks into the insulation below it. Wet insulation stops insulating, adds weight, and keeps feeding leaks after the surface is patched. When a large share of the insulation is wet, tearing off and replacing the roof is usually the better spend.
Phased replacement on occupied buildings
The buildings we reroof usually stay open during the work. We split the roof into sections and make each section watertight before we open the next one, so no part of the building sits exposed. We schedule the noisiest work around your tenants, residents and building operations. The phasing plan is part of the written scope.
Our commercial roof replacement page explains how we make the repair-or-replace call and what the written scope includes.

Written Follow-Up After Site Review
After site assessment, CKR prepares a photo-documented written scope with project-specific options and next steps.
Our Proposal Is the Price. Period.
The number on your proposal is the number on your invoice. If scope changes mid-project, no charge goes on your account until we document the change in writing and you sign off. No "unforeseen condition" surprise invoices.
Documented Workmanship Follow-Up
If water appears after installation, CKR reviews the reported area, documents findings, and discusses next-step options under the project terms.

The Interface Problem
Most TPO leaks we repair are at seams, flashings and penetrations, not in the field of the membrane. That is where inspection time goes.
The CKR Solution
We install both systems: GAF/Versico TPO on the commercial roof, Dec-Tec on the walkable amenity deck. The seam is engineered, tested, and warrantied by one contractor. The transition is never owned by “the other guy.”
What This Means for You
One proposal, one schedule, one warranty call if something goes wrong. Your property manager, architect, or HOA stops chasing two contractors. The seam between commercial and amenity becomes our problem, not yours.
CKR coordinates GAF, Versico, and Dec-Tec details under one project team when the roof and amenity areas meet.
