How much does a TPO roof cost per square foot?
Straight numbers for Norwood, OH building owners. No runaround, just real TPO and EPDM flat roofing facts from TruRoof.
You run a warehouse off I-71 and your flat roof is failing. You heard TPO saves on cooling and lasts long. But before you call three contractors, you need a real cost per square foot. In Norwood, where old industrial buildings and newer retail spaces mix, the number changes fast based on what's under that old membrane.
You are looking at a flat roof that leaks or looks cracked. That membrane, the top layer, is shot. TPO and EPDM are single-ply sheets. TPO is white and reflects heat. EPDM is black rubber. Both fail when seams split or water pools near drains.
For a full tear-off and new TPO in Norwood, plan on $5 to $9 per square foot. That includes pulling old layers, adding insulation board, and the new membrane. Just an overlay without tear-off runs lower, around $3 to $5. Size changes the price. A 3,000-square-foot roof costs differently per square foot than a 20,000-square-foot one. Edge details, roof access, and how many vents or curbs exist all push numbers up or down.
Get two or three detailed estimates. Ask each contractor to separate tear-off, insulation, and membrane line items. Do not pick the lowest bid without checking what they leave out. TruRoof will break your building's specifics onto a clear line-item estimate, not a lump sum number that hides things.
Once the white TPO goes on, your cooling bill drops. Water drains properly. No more buckets in the aisle. Your building stays dry through Ohio storms and snow melts. The roof just works for 20 years.
What people in Norwood 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.
