TPO Roofing Fort Lauderdale & South Florida

TPO (Thermoplastic Polyolefin) is a single-ply, heat-reflective white membrane roofing system used on flat and low-slope roofs. It's engineered to resist UV exposure, punctures, and wind uplift, while reflecting solar heat to reduce cooling costs — making it one of the most widely installed roofing systems in South Florida.

TPO performs well on both. On homes, it's most common on mid-century modern, contemporary, and multi-family flat roofs. On commercial buildings, it's the most widely specified low-slope system because of its heat reflectivity and cost-effective installation across large rooftop areas. The right fit depends on your roof's slope, size, and drainage — we assess all three before recommending a system.

TPO roofing typically runs $10–$20 per sq. ft. installed, depending on roof size, drainage design, insulation, and the number of penetrations or roof-line details. Final pricing is determined after a free on-site inspection. Actual cost depends on roof size, material, extent of damage, and other job-specific factors.

A properly installed TPO roof typically lasts 20+ years in South Florida. Membrane thickness, installation quality, and regular inspections before and after hurricane season all factor into how close a given roof gets to the top of that range.

TPO offers the best balance of cost and heat reflectivity for most flat and low-slope roofs. PVC has stronger chemical and grease resistance, making it a better fit for buildings with rooftop kitchen exhaust or heavy equipment. EPDM (rubber membrane) is a durable, lower-cost option where reflectivity is less of a priority — see our EPDM roofing page for details. We recommend the right system after inspecting your roof's slope, drainage, and use.

Yes. We install TPO systems using fastening patterns and edge details engineered to meet Florida Building Code wind-uplift requirements for Miami-Dade, Broward, and Palm Beach counties, including HVHZ (High-Velocity Hurricane Zone) areas where applicable.

In some cases, yes — if the existing deck and insulation are dry and structurally sound, TPO can be installed as a recover system. If there's trapped moisture, deteriorated insulation, or extensive ponding damage, a full tear-off is the safer option. We determine which applies during a free on-site inspection.

Most residential TPO roofs are completed in 1–2 days. Commercial and multifamily TPO projects take longer depending on square footage, and are often phased to minimize disruption to tenants or business operations.
