This was a big one. A local equipment center needed a full roofing overhaul across four buildings - and that meant tearing off the old ballasted EPDM system, adding insulation to spec, and installing a brand new Duro-Last TPO system from scratch. Not a patch job. A full replacement done the right way.
Here's what made this job more involved than a standard re-roof: ballasted EPDM systems use gravel to hold the membrane down, which means there's a lot of weight and material to remove before you can even think about the new roof. We stripped it all back, got the deck prepped, and built the insulation layer to the correct R-value before the new TPO went down.
We also replaced the trim and blocking across all four buildings. That part doesn't always get talked about, but it matters. Deteriorated blocking and worn edge metal are two of the most common entry points for water infiltration on commercial flat roofs. Taking care of it now means this property isn't dealing with those headaches down the road.
Duro-Last is a system we trust on large commercial jobs like this. It's a prefabricated, heat-welded TPO membrane with a strong track record in commercial applications - and it pairs well with proper insulation upgrades for long-term performance. From an aerial view, you can see just how much roof surface we were working with across this multi-building campus. Clean, bright, and fully protected.
Whether it's a job this size or a single-building inspection to assess what's going on up top, this is the kind of work we do every day. Commercial roofs are an investment, and they deserve to be treated like one.
