White roofs for Tampa heat

Look down at Tampa from a plane and you will see a lot of white roofs. Many of them are TPO. It is a popular choice for warehouses, offices, retail centers and medical buildings because the white surface reflects sun, and in Tampa the sun shows up almost every day.

If your TPO roof is leaking, or you are pricing a new one, call (656) 233-6113 or send the form. We call you back and get your inspection and written estimate scheduled the same day you reach us. A licensed local commercial roofer checks the roof and gives you a written report with photos and a price.

TPO problems we hear about

"The seams are coming apart."

TPO seams are welded with hot air. A weak weld, age or wind can open them.

"There are holes and punctures."

Dropped tools, foot traffic around AC units and storm debris can poke through the sheet.

"The edge lifted in the hurricane."

Edges and corners take the most wind. Loose edge metal lets the wind get under the sheet.

"It leaks around the rooftop units."

Flashing at curbs, pipes and units is a common weak spot.

"The roof looks chalky and thin."

Older TPO can wear down in strong sun. The inspector checks how much life is left.

"Water sits by the drains."

Clogged drains or low spots leave water on the roof. TPO handles some water, but long ponding wears it out.

Why TPO fits many Tampa buildings

It reflects sun. Tampa's normal highs reach about 91 degrees in July and August, according to the National Weather Service. A white roof stays cooler than a dark one, which can help the AC on the floor below.

The seams are welded. Instead of glue or tape, TPO seams are melted together. A good weld is as strong as the sheet. That matters when summer storms dump rain fast.

It can go over some old roofs. If the existing roof and insulation are dry, TPO can often go on top. That saves the cost and mess of a full tear-off. A moisture check tells you if this is an option.

It holds up to wind when installed right. Florida roof systems are tested for wind uplift. The fastener pattern at the edges and corners has to match the approved system for your building.

How a TPO job works

  1. Inspection. The roofer walks the roof, probes the seams, checks edges, flashing and drains, and looks for wet insulation.
  2. Written report and estimate. You get photos of each problem and a price for each repair, or for each part of a new roof.
  3. Permit. For a new roof, the licensed contractor pulls the permit and uses a system with Florida product approval.
  4. The work. Old roof comes off if needed. New insulation goes down. The TPO sheet gets fastened or glued, and every seam gets welded.
  5. Final check. Seams get probed again, the city inspects, and you get the warranty in writing.

What TPO costs

The price table on this page shows typical ranges from published national cost guides by Roof Observations and Fixr, not a quote for your building.

The biggest swing is tear-off. A TPO roof laid over sound, dry insulation costs far less than one that needs the old roof torn off and new insulation put down. Sheet thickness, how the sheet is held down, the number of rooftop units and how easy it is to get onto the roof also move the price. See the full Tampa cost guide.

Questions to ask about any TPO estimate

  • How thick is the sheet? Thicker sheets usually last longer.
  • Is the old roof coming off, or is the new one going over it?
  • How much wet insulation will be replaced, and how was it found?
  • How is the sheet held down: screws and plates, glue, or both?
  • What is the Florida product approval number for this system?
  • What does the warranty cover, for how long, and who backs it: the contractor, the maker, or both?

Keep your TPO roof working

TPO lasts longest with regular care. Ask about a roof maintenance program so drains get cleared, seams get probed and small holes get patched before they turn into leaks. Have the roof checked after every hurricane, even if nothing is leaking yet.

Not sure TPO is right for you? Compare it with EPDM roofing, metal roofing and roof coatings.

Who does the work

Tampa Commercial Roofing Co is a lead referral service. We connect you with one independent local commercial roofing contractor who holds a Florida roofing licence. That contractor inspects the roof, writes the estimate and does the work if you hire them.

Frequently asked questions

What is a TPO roof?

TPO is a white, single-layer roof sheet made of a flexible plastic. The seams are welded together with hot air. It is one of the most common roofs on newer flat and low-slope commercial buildings.

Is TPO a good roof for Tampa?

For many buildings, yes. The white surface reflects sun, which keeps the roof cooler in Tampa heat. Like any roof, it needs tight seams, strong edges and regular checks, especially after hurricanes.

How long does a TPO roof last?

Published guides put TPO at about 15 to 30 years. Sheet thickness, how well it was installed and how well it is kept up all matter. Strong sun and storms can push it toward the low end.

Can a TPO roof go over my old roof?

Sometimes. If the old roof and insulation are dry and sound, TPO can often go on top, which saves the cost of tear-off. Wet areas have to come off first.

Can TPO be repaired, or does it need replacing?

TPO can usually be repaired. Open seams can be rewelded and holes patched with matching TPO. If the sheet has worn thin or the insulation under it is wet across big areas, replacement makes more sense.

TPO or PVC?

Both are white single-layer roofs with welded seams. PVC usually costs more and holds up better to grease and chemicals, so it is common on restaurants and some plants. TPO is the more common choice for warehouses, offices and retail.
