Roof Top Services & TPO
When you’re looking for great performance in a value-priced TPO roofing system, look no further than classic EverGuard® TPO. It’s perfect for new construction or re-roofing where superior performance is required at a cost-effective price. It features the same great performance that all EverGuard® products offer—exceptional seam strength and puncture resistance, superior long-term weathering, and easy installation—for maximum reliability.
GAF’s color TPO membranes can transform a traditional roof into an aesthetic attribute. With standard colors, pre-formulated colors, and virtually unlimited custom colors, no other single-ply or metal roofing manufacturer offers more color choices than GAF. Decorative color membranes can complement overall building aesthetics or shingled areas. Most color choices include “Cool Color” technology, helping to increase reflectivity and reduce energy costs. The pigments have been specially selected to minimize fade.
TPO membranes are installed fully-adhered, mechanically-attached or ballasted. Fully-adhered means that the roof is "glued" to the substrate using a special adhesive. What actually happens is the glue creates a chemical bond with the membrane. Mechanically-attached membranes are those that use some type of special screw-type fastener to secure it. The type of fastener will depend on the type of substrate but all fasteners are generally screw-type fasteners.
Properly installed TPO roof systems have service lives ranging from about 10 to 20 years, depending on the type of installation. Full removal of the existing roof, the amount of slope the roof has, weather conditions, as well as several other criteria contribute to the longevity of a roof's service life. Typically, if you remove an old roof down to the deck before installing a new one, then the new roof will last longer. Also, the steeper the slope and the less severe the weather conditions, the longer a roof will last.

Selecting the Right Roofing Contractor
Whatever your roofing repair or replacement needs, you need a qualified professional roofing contractor you can trust.
This means finding a roofing contractor who knows good roofing practices, roof flashing details, how to handle problem spots on building roofs, and alternative roof covering products: shingle types, grades, colors, low slope roofing, flat roofing materials, etc. A competent roofer will provide you with sound advice on products, reasonable explanation of procedures, and, most important-solid results - no leaks, and a durable roof. It's difficult to determine the capabilities and reliability of a contractor.
Not every Roofing Contractor has the same ability. Experience, skills, and sense of acceptable quality vary considerable. To get the results that you expect. Call on the roofing contractor’s referrals. The best people to verify the quality of the installation is the people they have installed a roof for. Ask the contractor if they have a job in progress you can drive by. See how the jobsite looks, ask the homeowners if this has been a good experience so far. Call for a referral on a job a few years old, did they have to call the contractor back?
Purchasing a new roof is one of the most important investments you can make for your home. It can also be a big investment. That's why, along with selecting the right roofing products, it's important to make the extra effort to find the right professional roofing contractor. With this investment, it's crucial that you receive trustworthy support - and the know-how and breadth of services needed to complete the work. When selecting a professional roofing contractor to install your new roof, below are some helpful tips to consider. Make sure the contractor has a good reputation. Check for references and call a few of them. Make sure the contractor has adequate insurance coverage to protect your home from accidental damage. Did the contractor provide a written estimate? Including an accurate description of the work to be performed, plus work that may have to be contracted out. Did the contractor explain the entire roof system? Your roof is a series of components that work together and you should know about all of them. Did the contractor check existing ventilation for proper circulation and also explain the importance of proper ventilation? Improper ventilation will damage your shingles and can invalidate your manufacturer’s warranty. Did the contractor know, explain and comply with local building codes? Local codes determine the maximum number of nail overs and nail overs may shorten the life of your new shingles. Does the contractor know and was able to explain local building codes?

White roofs can make a differance
Many states have building codes that require commercial
roofs to be made white when they are redone, and cool roofs are a part of the
federal Energy Star program. White roofs, aka cool roofs, are a “hot” topic
these days as a means to help stem global warming. Most of us know better than
to wear black on a hot day, but when it comes to the roofs on our buildings,
temperature often takes a back seat to aesthetics . Dark roofs mean higher air
conditioning bills, and higher carbon dioxide emissions as a result. The good
news is you can save money and help protect the planet by lightening the color
(and therefore the temperature) of your roof, or by switching to a white roof
the next time your building needs a new hat.
The idea of painting roofs white is catching on across the
country; Energy Secretary Steven Chu has said it could help in the fight
against global warming. "Cool roofs are one of the quickest and
lowest-cost ways we can reduce our global carbon emissions and begin the hard
work of slowing climate change," Chu said in July, while announcing that
Energy Department buildings would be painted white wherever possible. White
roofs keep buildings cool in summer by absorbing less heat.
TPO Flat Roofing A Smart Choice
2013 just rolled around, and many business and homeowners
who are looking to replace their old roofs will have to balance between a
number of factors, such as cost, expected service life, durability, and
energy-efficiency when comparing different roofing products. This dilemma
remains particularly stark in the flat roofing market, where the competition
Between PVC and TPO roofing materials is going strong, with no clear winner
site. However, there are some important trends in the TPO roofing market that
can help you figure out whether this is the right roofing material for you.
TPO-based products have been used in various applications,
including the automobile industry since the 1980s, and have seen their usage
continue to expand. In 1989, TPO-based membrane moved into the roofing industry
as a non-reinforced sheet. In 1993, the original non-reinforced TPO membrane
was replaced with membranes containing reinforcing fabric. Since that time, the
TPO single-ply roofing market has grown to hundreds of millions of square feet
annually with TPO membrane comprising the fastest growing segment of the U.S.
single-ply roofing industry. As demand increases for heat-reflective and energy
efficient roofing systems, TPO single-ply roofing membranes continue to provide
exceptional resistance to ultraviolet, ozone and chemical exposure.
