How much does a TPO roof cost per square foot?
Straight numbers from TruRoof, your local TPO and EPDM flat roofing team in Fort Thomas, KY.
You manage a commercial building off I-471 in Fort Thomas. The flat roof is showing its age. You have heard TPO is energy-efficient and tough, but you need a real cost per square foot before you call anyone.
A flat roof in Northern Kentucky faces hot summers, freeze-thaw cycles, and standing water after heavy rain. TPO (thermoplastic polyolefin) is a white membrane that reflects sunlight and resists punctures. EPDM is a synthetic rubber, often black, that handles temperature swings well. If your roof has cracks, bubbles, or leaks, the membrane may be failing.
TPO installation typically runs $5 to $9 per square foot. That includes tearing off the old roof and adding new insulation. EPDM falls between $4 and $8 per square foot. For a 5,000-square-foot roof, you are looking at $25,000 to $45,000. The final price shifts based on roof penetrations, edge details, and the condition of the deck underneath. In Fort Thomas, local labor rates and permit costs can adjust these numbers a bit.
Get two or three written quotes from local contractors. Walk the roof with each one. Ask about seam strength, warranty length, and wind uplift ratings.

What people in Fort Thomas 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."

standing water on flat roof
Standing water on a flat roof is a sign of a drainage problem. A commercial roofer can check the drains, fix low spots, and seal the membrane. Left alone, ponding water can lead to leaks and structural damage.

Do not tape it. A small tear can let water in and ruin insulation. Wind can peel it open. A professional heat-weld repair is fast and permanent. Fix it now before it becomes a big leak and a big bill.
