Heat
A Black Roof Over a Hot Warehouse
Dark built-up and EPDM roofs soak up July sun. A white TPO surface sends more of it back, so the deck and the space under it stay cooler.

Is It a Fit?
Is Your Roof Ready for Greenwood TPO Roofing?
Greenwood TPO roofing works on flat and low-slope roofs with a dry, firm base. Check your building against both lists before you plan a budget.
TPO Fits When
- The roof is flat or drains on a gentle slope
- Rooftop units crowd the roof and need clean flashing
- Summer cooling bills run high under a dark roof
- The existing roof is one layer with dry insulation
- Technicians cross the roof often to reach equipment
Check First When
- Grease or oil vents onto the roof from a kitchen or process
- Two roof layers already sit on the deck
- Core cuts show wet insulation across large areas
- The deck flexes or shows rust from below
- Steep sections would suit metal panels better
Roof Conditions
Roof Conditions TPO Roofing Fixes in Greenwood
These are the problems a new TPO membrane solves on the buildings we see most.
Seams
Glued Laps That Keep Opening
Adhesive seams on older roofs dry out and peel. TPO laps are fused with hot air, so the seam becomes one sheet instead of two sheets glued together.
Curbs
Leaks Ringing Rooftop Units
Curbs patched again and again leave lumps of mastic that trap water. New TPO goes up each curb with premade corners and a welded base flashing.
Traffic
Punctures Along Service Paths
HVAC technicians wear the same line across the roof. We weld walkway pads along those paths so boots and dropped tools land on a sacrificial layer.
TPO Options
TPO Roofing Options for Greenwood Buildings
The membrane is one choice. Attachment, insulation, and whether old layers stay decide the rest of the scope.
Mechanically Attached
Plates and screws hold the sheet to the deck along each lap. Quick to install and workable in cold weather on steel decks.
Fully Adhered
Bonding adhesive holds the whole sheet down, which keeps it quiet in wind and smooth over cover board on concrete or wood decks.
TPO Roof Over Existing Roof
A recover board goes over one dry existing layer, then new TPO. Old material stays in place and the building stays closed.
Tapered Insulation Packages
Sloped boards pitch water to drains on flat decks where ponding rings form, and they add insulating value at the same time.
Benefits
What TPO Roofing Does for Greenwood Warehouses
Owners choose TPO for reasons they can see on the roof and in the building below.
Seams That Act Like One Sheet
Welded laps leave no adhesive line to dry out. We probe every seam after welding, so a weak spot gets fixed while the crew is still on the roof.
Cooler Space Under the Deck
Reflective membrane keeps the roof surface from baking in summer. Stockrooms and loading areas under it gain the most on the hottest days.
Clean Details at Equipment
Premade inside and outside corners, pipe boots, and curb wraps weld to the field sheet, so flashing at units stays tight through freeze and thaw.
Repairs Stay Simple Later
A cut or puncture years from now gets cleaned and a TPO patch welded over it. Matching material keeps future repairs small.
Summer Heat
Dark Roof Running Hot All Summer?
A white TPO membrane over new insulation changes how much heat reaches the space under the deck. We measure your roof and price the switch.

Our Process
How a TPO Roof Goes On
Five decisions carry a TPO job from the first roof walk to the final seam check.
Inspect Your Roof
Core cuts and moisture readings tell us whether the insulation under the old roof is dry. Photos of each curb, drain, and edge go into the estimate.
Recover or Tear Off?
One dry layer can stay under a recover board. Wet boards, a second layer, or a damaged deck mean the old roof comes off down to the steel or concrete.
Attachment and Thickness
Deck type and wind exposure set mechanical attachment or full adhesion, and the membrane thickness is named in writing before any order is placed.
TPO Seam Welding and Probing
Test welds start each day to set the welder for that morning's temperature. After welding, crews probe every lap and repair any gap on the spot.
Flashing and Final Walk
Curbs, walls, and edges get welded flashing and new metal. We walk the finished roof with you and note the walkway pads and drain locations.

TPO Roofing Questions in Greenwood, Indiana
Answers to the TPO questions owners ask before they sign.
The Basics
What Is TPO Roofing?
A white single-ply membrane, thermoplastic polyolefin, rolled out over insulation on flat and low-slope roofs. Its laps are melted together with hot air, and it is fastened down or held with adhesive to suit the deck.
Why Pick TPO Over a Built-Up Roof?
Fewer layers, lighter weight, and a reflective surface. Built-up roofs bury seams under gravel and bitumen; TPO leaves every lap visible, welded, and easy to check later.
Cost
What Drives TPO Roofing Cost?
Roof area, membrane thickness, insulation, and tear-off set most of the price. Each curb, pipe, and drain adds flashing labor, and crane access to the roof adds equipment time.
Is a Recover Cheaper Than Tear-Off?
Usually, because no old material goes to the dumpster and the deck stays covered. It works only when core cuts show one dry layer, which is why we test before pricing.
Install
Can TPO Be Welded in Cold Weather?
Yes, with the welder settings checked by test welds each morning. Adhesives have temperature limits, so fully adhered work waits for milder days while fastened systems keep going.
How Do You Check TPO Seam Welding?
A probe pulled along every lap catches any spot that did not fuse. Crews mark and reweld those spots the same afternoon, before the section is called done.
