TPO Single-Ply Roofing in Miami-Dade & Broward
The reflective white membrane that’s become the South Florida flat-roof default, and why the heat-welded seam, not the brand sticker, decides whether it lasts. We text you within minutes (8am–8pm) and call you the same business day.

What TPO is — in plain terms
TPO is a single-ply thermoplastic membrane: one continuous sheet of reflective white roofing that’s mechanically fastened or adhered to the deck, then heat-welded at every seam. It dominates new low-slope commercial work in South Florida because it’s reflective (lower cooling bills), relatively fast to install, and free of the torches and hot asphalt that older systems require.
We install Elevate and GenFlex TPO. The single biggest quality variable on a TPO roof is the seam weld, so that’s where we spend the attention.
Three ways to attach it — and when each is right
- Mechanically attached: fastened through the membrane into the deck along seam lines. Fast and economical; the most common approach on large fields.
- Fully adhered: bonded to the substrate with adhesive for a smooth, fastener-free surface and strong wind performance — often specified on higher-exposure or higher-value roofs.
- Induction / plate-bonded: a hybrid that fastens plates to the deck and welds the membrane to them, reducing membrane penetrations.
The right method depends on deck type, building height and exposure, and the warranty you’re after. We’ll specify it on the proposal, not leave it vague.
Why the seam weld is the whole roof
TPO seams are fused with hot-air welders, melting the overlapping sheets into a single piece. A correct weld is stronger than the membrane around it. A cold, dirty, or rushed weld is exactly where a TPO roof leaks first. We probe-test seams and don’t consider the field done until they hold. A cheap TPO bid is almost always cutting time on welding and detail work, the parts you can’t see from the ground.
Flashings, drains, and penetrations
Field membrane rarely fails first; the roof fails at the edges, drains, curbs, and pipe penetrations. We detail those with manufacturer-matched accessories and target-patch every penetration. On a re-roof we also check and, where needed, correct drainage: ponding water shortens any flat roof’s life.

What happens after you hit send
- We call you back. Someone from our office — not a subcontractor, not a call center — calls to confirm the details and, if you picked a date, whether that slot is open.
- We come out and look. The estimate is free and there is no obligation. We walk the roof or the openings, photograph what we find, and tell you honestly whether you need a repair or a replacement.
- You get it in writing. A written, itemized price. Permits, Miami-Dade NOA product approvals and HVHZ code compliance are included in it, never added on afterwards.
What our customers actually said
Verbatim from our Google Business Profile
They handled the whole 40-year inspection including the re-roof and reinstalled the AC’s up to code. The communication was great. I only had to deal with one contractor, which made the whole process much easier.
I was worried the paperwork would be a nightmare but they walked us through it step by step. … They replaced some rotten wood underneath and still finished on time. I feel much safer in the house now.
Our building needed a full flat roof replacement and the whole process went smoother than expected. Frank was great, crew was hard-working, kept the site tidy, and communication was clear from start to finish.
