Why Choose TPO & EPDM Flat and Low-Slope Roofing?
A Completely Seamless & Waterproof Barrier
The primary goal of a flat roof is to be 100% waterproof. TPO and EPDM membranes are installed in large, continuous sheets with heat-welded or chemically bonded seams. This process creates a single, monolithic layer of protection with no gaps for water to penetrate, which is critical during heavy rain and snowmelt.Built to Withstand Syracuse’s Climate Extremes
These advanced materials are incredibly flexible and resilient. They can expand and contract with our dramatic temperature swings, from hot, humid summers to deep winter freezes, without cracking, splitting, or becoming brittle. They are also highly resistant to punctures, hail, and UV degradation.Energy Efficiency & Cost Savings
White TPO roofing is highly reflective, earning it the “cool roof” designation. It reflects the sun’s UV rays, keeping the building’s interior cooler in the summer and significantly reducing air conditioning costs for business owners and homeowners alike.Lightweight & Low Maintenance
Single-ply membranes are lightweight, reducing the structural load on your building compared to multi-layered built-up roofs. Once installed, they require minimal maintenance to provide decades of worry-free service.
What We Install
TPO (Thermoplastic Polyolefin) Roofing
The top choice for modern commercial roofing. TPO is a white, reflective membrane known for its exceptional energy efficiency and superior seam strength. The seams are heat-welded together, creating a bond that is actually stronger than the membrane itself. TPO is highly resistant to punctures, chemicals, and algae growth, making it a durable and popular choice for restaurants, warehouses, and retail buildings.
EPDM (Ethylene Propylene Diene Monomer) Roofing
Often referred to as a “rubber roof,” EPDM is a durable synthetic rubber membrane that has a proven track record of over 50 years. Typically black, it excels at absorbing heat, which can be beneficial in our cold climate to help melt snow and ice. Its flexibility and durability make it an excellent, cost-effective choice for residential low-slope applications, garages, and commercial roofs.

Frequently Asked Questions
How long do TPO and EPDM roofs last in Syracuse?
A metal roof has a higher upfront cost than an asphalt shingle roof. However, when you consider that it can last 2-3 times longer, it is often the more cost-effective choice over the life of your home. It’s a permanent solution, not a temporary fix.
My flat roof is holding water. Can you fix that?
Yes. “Ponding” water is a major issue for flat roofs and can lead to premature failure. During our inspection, we will identify the cause of the poor drainage. We can install tapered insulation systems or roof drains to ensure water properly flows off the roof and away from your building.
Is TPO or EPDM better for a residential project?
Both are excellent choices. EPDM is often more cost-effective and has a very long history of success on residential additions and garages. White TPO is a great option for a roof over a living space due to its energy-saving reflective properties in the summer. We will discuss the pros and cons of each for your specific project.
Can you repair a leak in my existing flat roof?
Absolutely. Our technicians are experts at locating the source of leaks in single-ply membrane systems. We use specialized techniques and compatible materials to properly patch punctures, repair faulty seams, and reseal flashing to restore the watertight integrity of your roof.
What is involved in the installation process?
The process typically involves preparing the substrate (the surface below the membrane), installing a layer of rigid insulation for thermal performance, and then adhering or mechanically fastening the TPO or EPDM membrane. The final, critical step is expertly sealing all seams, flashings, and penetrations to create a completely waterproof system.
