Expert TPO Roofing Installation & Repair
Vedder Roofing delivers certified Thermoplastic Polyolefin roofing solutions that cut energy costs, withstand the elements, and last for decades. We serve commercial and industrial clients across the region.
What is TPO Roofing?
Thermoplastic Polyolefin (TPO) is a single-ply roofing membrane engineered for flat and low-slope commercial roofs. It consists of a thermoplastic compound reinforced with polyester scrim, producing a flexible, lightweight, and highly durable sheet.
The distinctive white surface reflects solar radiation instead of absorbing it, reducing rooftop temperatures significantly. This directly lowers HVAC loads and can cut cooling costs by up to 30% in warm climates — a major advantage for warehouse, retail, and office buildings.
At Vedder Roofing, we install TPO membranes using hot-air welding at all seams, creating bonds that are actually stronger than the membrane itself. The result is a monolithic, watertight surface that stands up to extreme weather, ponding water, and UV degradation.
Why Choose TPO Roofing
Energy Star Reflectivity
TPO’s white surface reflects up to 87% of solar radiation, reducing heat gain and lowering cooling bills substantially compared to dark-coloured membranes.
Superior Seam Strength
Heat-welded seams achieve weld strengths of up to 400 lbs per linear inch — far exceeding the adhesive-bonded seams of older membrane systems like EPDM.
Long Service Life
A professionally installed TPO roof lasts 15 to 30 years. Thicker membranes (80–90 mil) and proper maintenance push performance toward the top of that range.
Cost-Effective Investment
Lower material costs than PVC membranes, faster installation reducing labour time, and energy savings that deliver measurable ROI within the first few years
Flexible Installation Methods
TPO can be mechanically fastened, fully adhered with adhesive, or ballasted — allowing the right method for your building structure, climate, and budget.
Chemical & Puncture Resistance
TPO withstands grease, oils, UV radiation, and ozone exposure — ideal for restaurants, industrial facilities, and rooftops with HVAC equipment penetrations.
Our TPO Roofing Services
New TPO Roof Installation
Full-system installation on new construction or complete tear-off replacements. We spec the right membrane thickness, attachment method, and insulation for your building and climate.
TPO Roof Repair
Targeted repairs for punctures, seam failures, flashing separations, and storm damage. We diagnose the root cause and fix it properly — not just the symptom.
TPO Re-Roofing & Overlay
When your existing roof is structurally sound but the membrane has reached end of life, a TPO overlay avoids costly tear-off and reduces landfill waste significantly.
Maintenance Plans
Scheduled bi-annual inspections and preventative maintenance that catch small issues before they become expensive failures. Plans include written condition reports after each visit.
TPO Restoration Coating
Extend the life of an aging TPO membrane with a compatible elastomeric coating system. A cost-effective alternative to full replacement when the substrate is still intact.

What is included in a TPO roofing installation?
Installation typically includes roof inspection, insulation placement, membrane installation, heat-welded seams, flashing installation, drainage setup, and final inspection
Can TPO roofing be installed over an existing roof?
In some cases, yes. A professional inspection is needed to determine whether the existing roof structure can support an overlay system.
