UV Resistant
Won't crack, degrade, or become brittle from constant sun exposure.

Our TPO Installation Process
A proven four-step approach that delivers a watertight, energy-efficient roof built to last decades.
Roof Inspection & Assessment
We start with a comprehensive inspection of your existing roof — evaluating the deck condition, drainage, insulation, and any damage. You receive a detailed report with photos, our professional recommendation, and a transparent estimate with no hidden costs.
System Design & Material Selection
Based on your building's needs, we recommend the ideal TPO thickness (60, 80, or 90 mil), insulation type, and attachment method. We engineer proper drainage slopes and detail every penetration, curb, and edge to ensure a complete watertight system.
Professional TPO Installation
Our certified crews handle the complete installation — from tear-off and deck preparation to TPO membrane application and heat-welded seaming. Every seam is tested to ensure bonds stronger than the membrane itself. We maintain strict safety protocols and minimize disruption to your business.
Final Walkthrough & Warranty
We conduct a thorough final inspection, clean up all debris, and walk the finished roof with you. You receive complete warranty documentation from both Faircloth Roofing and the TPO manufacturer, plus a recommended maintenance schedule to maximize your roof's lifespan.

TPO Roofing FAQs
Get answers to common questions about TPO roofing installation and maintenance.
What is TPO roofing?
TPO (Thermoplastic Polyolefin) is a single-ply roofing membrane made from a blend of polypropylene and ethylene-propylene rubber. It's typically white or light-colored, highly reflective, and seams are heat-welded together creating the strongest bonds in the industry. TPO is the fastest-growing flat roofing system in North America.
How long does a TPO roof last?
Quality TPO roofing typically lasts 20-30 years with proper installation and maintenance. Higher-grade TPO membranes (80 mil thickness) tend to last longer than standard 60 mil versions. Regular inspections and prompt repairs of any issues can help maximize lifespan.
How much does TPO roofing cost?
TPO roofing typically costs $5-10 per square foot installed, depending on membrane thickness, insulation requirements, and roof accessibility. This makes it one of the most cost-effective flat roofing options while offering excellent performance. Contact us for a free detailed estimate.
Is TPO better than EPDM?
Both are excellent flat roofing options. TPO offers better energy efficiency (white reflective surface), heat-welded seams (stronger than EPDM's adhesive seams), and better chemical resistance. EPDM is slightly more affordable and has a longer track record. We can help you choose the best option for your specific needs.
Can TPO be installed over an existing roof?
In many cases, yes. TPO can often be installed over existing roofing if the deck is in good condition and local codes permit it. This saves on tear-off costs. However, we always recommend a thorough inspection to determine if overlay is appropriate for your situation.
How does TPO save energy?
TPO's white surface reflects up to 80% of solar radiation, significantly reducing heat absorption and cooling costs - often by 20-30% in hot climates. TPO meets ENERGY STAR requirements and can contribute to LEED certification. This makes it ideal for North Carolina's hot summers.
