Most offices, warehouses, and retail buildings in Miami-Dade have flat or low-slope roofs. They're practical and economical, but they take a beating from year-round UV, heavy rain, and rooftop equipment traffic.
Flat roofs tend to fail at the same points: seams, drains, scuppers, parapet edges, and around rooftop units. Ponding water speeds up all of it. If you're seeing interior leaks near walls or drains, the membrane may be past saving.
TPO is a common replacement choice because its seams are heat-welded into one continuous membrane and its white surface reflects sunlight, which can help reduce cooling loads on the building below.
A commercial replacement also has to work around the people inside. Good planning means phasing the work in sections, scheduling noisy tear-off around business hours, and keeping the building watertight at the end of every day.
