TPO Membrane Roofing Installation

What We Offer

Thermoplastic Polyolefin (TPO) membrane roofing is the gold standard for flat and low-slope roofs across commercial and residential properties. Its reflective white surface dramatically reduces cooling costs — a major advantage in Santa Fe's intense sun.

At Northway Roofing, we've been installing TPO systems for decades and understand the unique demands of New Mexico's climate. Our heat-welded seam technique creates a monolithic, watertight barrier that outperforms traditional adhesive methods.

TPO is environmentally friendly, 100% recyclable, and resistant to UV radiation, ozone, and chemical exposure. It's the smart choice for property owners looking for a durable, low-maintenance, energy-efficient roofing solution.

Why Invest in TPO Membrane Install?

wb_sunny

UV & Heat Reflective

TPO's white reflective surface bounces solar energy, reducing interior temperatures by up to 30% and lowering cooling bills.

Superior Waterproofing

Heat-welded seams create a continuous, leak-proof membrane — far stronger than adhesive-based systems used by competitors.

recycling

Environmentally Friendly

100% recyclable material that doesn't release chlorine or other harmful chemicals. A greener choice for eco-conscious property owners.

Fast Installation

TPO membrane comes in wide rolls, allowing for faster installation with fewer seams. Most projects are completed in 2–3 days.

Low Maintenance

Resistant to mold, algae, and dirt accumulation. Periodic cleaning and inspections are all it takes to keep your TPO roof performing.

Our Process

Simple, thorough, and transparent service every time.

Assessment & Design

We evaluate your existing roof structure, drainage patterns, and insulation needs to design the optimal TPO system for your building.

Substrate Preparation

The existing roof surface is prepared, repaired, or replaced as needed. We install proper insulation board for added energy efficiency and R-value.

Membrane Installation

TPO membrane is rolled out, mechanically fastened or fully adhered, then heat-welded at every seam using specialized equipment for a watertight bond.

Detailing & Quality Check

All penetrations (pipes, HVAC, drains) are carefully sealed with TPO accessories. We perform a thorough leak test and final quality inspection.

Frequently Asked Questions

Is TPO suitable for residential homes?expand_more

Absolutely. While TPO is popular for commercial buildings, it's an excellent choice for residential flat roofs, patios, and low-slope additions. Many Santa Fe homes feature flat-roof sections where TPO is ideal.

How does TPO compare to EPDM rubber roofing?expand_more

TPO offers superior heat-welded seams (stronger than EPDM's adhesive seams), better UV reflectivity, and improved energy efficiency. It's also more resistant to punctures and chemical exposure.

What thickness of TPO do you install?expand_more

We typically recommend 60-mil or 80-mil TPO for maximum durability and longevity. Thicker membranes resist punctures better and last longer, especially in high-traffic or high-UV environments.

Can TPO be installed over an existing roof?expand_more

In many cases, yes. If the existing roof deck is in good condition, we can install TPO as a recover system — saving you the cost and mess of a full tear-off. We'll assess this during your consultation.

How does TPO handle Santa Fe's snow and ice?expand_more

TPO performs excellently in cold conditions. The membrane remains flexible in freezing temperatures, and proper slope design ensures snowmelt drains effectively without ponding.
