How much does a TPO roof cost per square foot?
What a new TPO or EPDM flat roof really costs in Bridgetown, OH. No guesswork, just numbers.
You manage a warehouse off I-74 in Bridgetown. The flat roof is aging, and you need a replacement. You've heard TPO is energy-efficient, but every quote seems different. Before you call anyone, you want a real cost per square foot.
Flat commercial roofs in Bridgetown take a beating from Ohio summers and winter ice. TPO (thermoplastic polyolefin) and EPDM (ethylene propylene diene terpolymer) are single-ply membranes that seal out water. TPO is white and reflects heat, which can lower cooling bills. EPDM is black rubber, often cheaper upfront but absorbs heat. Both need professional installation to handle the temperature swings we get along the I-275 corridor.
For a full tear-off and replacement, TPO roofing in the Cincinnati area runs $5 to $9 per square foot installed. EPDM is similar, often $4 to $8 per square foot. The range depends on insulation thickness, roof deck condition, and how many penetrations like vents or skylights you have. A 5,000-square-foot warehouse roof typically falls between $25,000 and $45,000. Smaller repairs cost less, but per-square-foot pricing goes up for tiny jobs.
Get at least two written estimates from local contractors who know flat roofing. Ask for a line-item breakdown so you can compare insulation, membrane thickness, and labor. TruRoof offers free, no-pressure inspections for commercial buildings in Bridgetown and Hamilton County. We measure your roof, check the deck, and give you a detailed quote same day. Avoid any quote that seems too low—cheap installs often skip important details like proper seam welding.
Once the new TPO roof is on, you'll see lower energy bills in summer and no more leaks during spring storms. Your maintenance costs drop, and you can focus on running your business instead of worrying about the next rain. A properly installed flat roof can last 20 years or more with basic upkeep.
What people in Bridgetown say
"I'm reviewing my two new roofs, on my house and my garage, installed by TruRoof. The company, and Damon Chuke, their representative, helped me work with the insurance company, and with understanding all the details of the whole process. They took out an obsolete chimney, were on time and professional, and the finished roofs and flashing are beautiful. Many compliments from neighbors. Highly recommended by me."
"We have a beautiful condo in a historic building from the 1840s. Late November had a bad leak in the dining room area. I called Britt at TruRoof who came out and inspected the entire roof of the building. He said to do the entire roof could be around $50,000. But then he started laughing and said you need to caulk the area around one of the chimneys. I thought he was nuts, but I did the caulking, which cost me about 25 bucks worth of outdoor caulk, and there are no more leaks. I cannot express my appreciation for his diligence and his honesty. That kind of a company and a person is rare these days. Highly, highly, highly recommend these guys."
"TruRoof did an outstanding job from start to finish. Communication leading up to the start date was great. Once on site and the project started, everything went as discussed, and the crew was very professional."
