Your flat roof is failing. TPO or EPDM?
Straight answers on TPO vs EPDM from TruRoof, commercial roofing in Lawrenceburg, IN.
You manage a warehouse off U.S. 50 or a church near Lawrenceburg Square, and your flat roof is giving you trouble. Ponding water, leaks, or rising cooling bills have you searching for answers. Everyone says something different about TPO and EPDM, and you need a clear, local take.
Flat roofs in Lawrenceburg take a beating from Ohio River humidity, summer heat, and winter freezes. TPO is a white, heat-reflective membrane that can lower cooling costs. EPDM is a black rubber sheet that handles standing water better. If your roof has ponding issues or you keep the building cool, EPDM might work. If you want energy savings and a lighter surface, TPO is often the right choice.
Cost depends on your roof’s size, slope, and how much decking needs repair. In Lawrenceburg, a typical commercial flat roof replacement can range from a few thousand for a small retail bay to tens of thousands for a large industrial space. TPO and EPDM are priced similarly per square foot, but the total includes tear-off, insulation, and labor.

What people in Lawrenceburg 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."

commercial roof keeps leaking after repairs
When a roof fails despite repeated repairs, the membrane is likely shot. Get a core sample to check insulation. If it is wet, a full replacement or a silicone restoration coating may be needed. Stop wasting money on patches.
roof coating vs replacement flat roof
Coatings work when the roof is still structurally sound and the membrane is intact. If there are multiple leaks, ponding, or wet insulation underneath, a coating won't fix it. Get a moisture scan and a core sample before deciding.
