TPO
At Kissimmee Elite Roofing, we specialize in TPO roofing solutions as a leading commercial roofing contractor serving businesses in Kissimmee and the surrounding Orlando suburbs. Partnered with industry-leading suppliers and drawing on extensive local expertise, our team delivers high-quality TPO flat roof install, commercial roof repair, and ongoing maintenance services designed to protect your property against Florida’s demanding climate—including intense UV exposure, high humidity, frequent heavy rainfall, tropical storms, and hurricane-force winds. TPO (thermoplastic polyolefin) has become one of the most popular choices for modern commercial flat roofing due to its outstanding combination of performance features, making it an ideal option for warehouses, office buildings, retail centers, and industrial facilities seeking reliable, long-lasting protection in Central Florida.
TPO stands out for its exceptional energy efficiency, thanks to its highly reflective white surface that bounces back a significant portion of solar radiation—often reducing cooling costs by 20-30% during Florida’s hot summer months while helping maintain cooler indoor temperatures year-round. This reflectivity also combats UV degradation effectively, while the material’s reinforced construction provides strong resistance to punctures, tears, chemicals, ozone, and wind uplift. Compared to alternatives like EPDM or PVC, TPO frequently offers a more cost-effective upfront investment without sacrificing durability, with properly installed systems commonly lasting 20-30 years or more under routine care. Its heat-welded seams create monolithic, watertight connections that minimize leak risks, and the lightweight, flexible membrane allows for faster installation with minimal disruption to your daily operations—whether through mechanically fastened, fully adhered, or ballasted methods tailored to your building’s specific structural needs.
When it comes to TPO flat roof install, our certified crews follow industry-best practices from initial site evaluation through final quality checks. We begin by preparing the substrate—removing any existing roofing if necessary, addressing deck issues, and installing high-performance insulation boards to enhance thermal efficiency and provide a stable base. TPO sheets are precisely rolled out, allowed to relax, and secured using mechanical fasteners with plates along seams for superior wind resistance, or adhered fully for seamless integration on complex geometries. All overlaps receive meticulous heat welding with automated or handheld equipment calibrated for consistent temperature and pressure, ensuring robust, leak-proof bonds. Flashings around penetrations, edges, and rooftop equipment are custom-fabricated and welded in place, followed by thorough inspections—including seam testing and probe checks—to confirm integrity before project completion. This meticulous approach, backed by manufacturer warranties, delivers a commercial roof install that stands up to heavy foot traffic, rooftop HVAC units, and regional weather extremes.
For businesses already equipped with TPO systems, we provide expert flat roof repair services to address common concerns before they escalate. Issues such as seam separations from thermal cycling or wind stress, punctures caused by dropped tools or debris, flashing failures around vents and drains, or minor membrane wear from prolonged UV exposure can often be resolved efficiently. Our technicians clean and prime affected areas, then apply reinforced TPO patches or re-weld seams using professional-grade heat-welding tools to restore full watertight performance. In cases of more extensive damage—like widespread shrinkage or ponding-related deterioration—we assess whether targeted repairs or partial overlays suffice, always prioritizing solutions that extend your roof’s lifespan and protect your investment.
Proactive maintenance plays a critical role in maximizing the return on your TPO roofing system, and our comprehensive programs help prevent premature failure while preserving energy efficiency and reflectivity. We recommend semi-annual professional inspections—typically in spring and fall, plus after severe storms—to evaluate seam integrity, check for punctures or blistering, inspect flashings and terminations, and ensure proper drainage by clearing drains, scuppers, and gutters of leaves, debris, or sediment buildup that could lead to ponding water during heavy Florida rains. Gentle cleaning with manufacturer-approved methods removes dirt and pollutants that might otherwise dull the surface over time, while we document findings and perform minor adjustments or repairs on-site. By partnering with Kissimmee Elite Roofing for routine commercial roof repair and maintenance, local businesses benefit from extended roof longevity, reduced energy bills, fewer emergency interventions, and peace of mind knowing their flat roofing remains in peak condition.
