How much does a TPO roof cost per square foot?
Straight numbers for flat roof replacement in Hamilton, OH. No games, just real pricing from TruRoof.
You run a warehouse or commercial building in Hamilton. The old flat roof is failing. You keep hearing TPO is the smart choice for energy savings and durability. But you need a real price per square foot before you pick up the phone.
TPO stands for thermoplastic polyolefin. It is a white, single-ply membrane that gets rolled out and heat-welded at the seams. It reflects sunlight instead of absorbing it. That keeps your building cooler in summer. In Hamilton, where summers get hot and humid along the Great Miami River, that reflective surface cuts air conditioning costs. EPDM is a black rubber membrane. It costs a little less upfront but soaks up heat. Most commercial owners near Rossville and Riverview choose TPO for the long-term utility savings.
For a full TPO install, expect to pay $5 to $9 per square foot. That range includes tearing off the old roof, adding new insulation board, and installing the membrane. A smaller job on a tight roof, like a low slope near Monument Park, might land at the low end. A large warehouse off I-75 with lots of rooftop units and edge metal pushes toward $9 per square foot. EPDM runs roughly $4.50 to $8 per square foot installed. Every building is different. Thickness of insulation, number of penetrations, and roof access all move the number.
Get at least three local quotes. Ask each contractor to break out tear-off, insulation, and membrane costs separately. Do not pick the lowest bid without checking references. A bad weld on a TPO seam leads to leaks fast. TruRoof can walk your roof this week, measure precisely, and give you a line-by-line number that fits your building in Hamilton. You will know exactly what you are paying and why.
Once the new roof is on, you stop patching leaks. Your energy bills drop during those sticky Ohio summers. You get a 15- to 20-year warranty and a clean, bright surface that looks professional. You can focus on your business, not the weather forecast.
What people in Hamilton 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.
