What does TPO roofing cost per square foot?
Straight answers on TPO and EPDM flat roofing costs from TruRoof, serving Cincinnati, OH.
You manage a commercial building in Cincinnati. The flat roof needs replacing, and you've heard TPO saves energy. But you need a reliable cost per square foot before you even pick up the phone. You want numbers, not sales talk.
TPO is a white membrane that reflects sunlight. EPDM is a black rubber material. Both are single-ply and work on flat commercial roofs. Cincinnati winters bring freeze-thaw cycles and summer humidity stresses seams. TPO's reflectivity lowers cooling costs. EPDM handles temperature swings without getting brittle. Either one can last 20 years or more when installed right. Small leaks can rot the deck underneath. That is why replacing an old flat roof before it fails matters.
Installed TPO roofing typically runs $5 to $9 per square foot. That price includes tearing off the old roof, adding insulation, and the membrane itself. EPDM costs a similar range, often $4.50 to $8.50. The total depends on your roof size and condition. More penetrations for vents or skylights add labor. If the deck is rotted, repairs increase the cost. Thicker membrane adds to material cost but resists punctures better. A smaller job may have a higher per-square-foot price.
Get written quotes from at least three local contractors. Ask each one to break down labor, materials, and disposal fees. Look for a contractor who inspects the roof in person. Do not accept a phone estimate. That often misses hidden damage. TruRoof provides free building inspections in Cincinnati. We measure your roof and explain every line of the estimate.

What people in Cincinnati 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."
