Single-ply TPO roofing for flat and low-slope commercial roofs. High SRI reflectance, 20-year warranty, Polyglass and Elevate certified.
TPO (Thermoplastic Olefin) is one of the most popular commercial roofing solutions for flat and low-slope roofs in Austin. As a Polyglass and Elevate (Firestone) certified installer, RISE Roofing delivers TPO installations backed by 20-year manufacturer warranties. TPO roofs are highly resistant to UV, algae, and cracking — making them ideal for Austin's climate.
TPO is ideal for office buildings, retail centers, warehouses, multifamily buildings, restaurants, and any commercial property with a flat or low-slope roof.
TPO has become Austin’s most-installed commercial membrane, and the reason is straightforward: it handles Austin’s climate better than alternatives at a lower price point. The white reflective surface bounces solar heat away from your building, cutting cooling costs 15–25% in Austin’s 6-month summer. It welds at the seams with hot air instead of adhesive, creating a monolithic waterproof barrier.
We install TPO from leading manufacturers including GAF EverGuard and Carlisle SynTec. All installations include manufacturer-backed 20-year NDL (No Dollar Limit) warranties when installed by our certified crews.
TPO vs. EPDM: TPO is white (reflective), EPDM is black (absorbs heat). In Austin, TPO wins on energy efficiency. EPDM is cheaper upfront but costs more to cool your building over 20 years.
TPO vs. PVC: PVC costs 20–30% more than TPO but resists chemical exposure. If your building has kitchen exhaust or chemical processes, PVC is worth the premium. For everything else, TPO delivers the same performance for less.
TPO vs. modified bitumen: TPO is single-ply and lighter. Mod-bit is multi-layer and heavier. TPO installs faster and costs less. Mod-bit handles heavier foot traffic better.
A properly installed TPO roof with regular maintenance lasts 20–30 years in Austin. Our installations come with 20-year manufacturer warranties.
We recommend 60-mil TPO for most Austin commercial applications. It’s the sweet spot between cost and durability. For buildings with heavy rooftop traffic, we go to 80-mil.
A typical Austin TPO installation takes 3–7 days for a 10,000 sq ft building. We mechanically fasten or fully adhere the membrane (depending on your building’s wind zone and deck type), hot-air weld every seam, and flash all penetrations with compatible TPO accessories. Every installation includes a manufacturer inspection if you’re opting for an NDL warranty.
