When choosing between PVC, TPO, and EPDM, consider roof slope, rooftop equipment, and maintenance access. Each membrane has strengths: PVC excels with chemicals, TPO with reflectivity, and EPDM for simple low-slope applications.

833-791-7377 will connect you to a project specialist who can review options and recommend the best single-ply system for your building and budget.

PVC offers strong chemical resistance and secure welded seams that resist leaks over time. It performs well where rooftop HVAC or exhaust can expose roofs to oils and cleaners. PVC is a good choice for commercial kitchens and factories.

Installation quality matters. Proper welding and flashing result in resilient seams and long service life. PVC can deliver energy savings with reflective finishes when designed correctly.

TPO has become popular for its balance of durability and value. TPO membranes offer strong heat-welded seams and bright reflective surfaces that lower cooling loads. This can produce clear operational savings over time and reduce building heat gain.

TPO is often selected for warehouses, retail, and office buildings seeking cost-effective reflective performance. Regular inspections keep seams and flashings in top condition for steady, long-term protection.

We partner with top manufacturers to back our work with strong warranties. As a certified installer, we maintain strict training and documentation. This approach keeps projects eligible for extended warranty coverage and delivers peace of mind to owners.

Our relationships include exclusive programs and preferred statuses that allow us to offer superior workmanship guarantees and manufacturer-backed protection for many roof systems.

As a TAMKO Diamond Contractor, we can provide exclusive 25-year workmanship warranties on qualifying assemblies. This status reflects our training and consistent quality, giving clients a clear assurance of technical expertise and long-term support.

Warranty coverage reduces risk for property owners. With documented installation and approval from the manufacturer, your investment is protected by both product and labor guarantees if assembly standards are met.

Our Brava Preferred recognition means access to high-quality architectural roof products that are durable and attractive. These systems fit properties where curb appeal and material performance are both essential for design-driven facilities.

Combining architectural products with experienced installers ensures assemblies meet aesthetic and performance goals while maintaining relevant warranty terms and code compliance.

We carry all required licenses and insurance and follow strict safety procedures. Our crews use fall protection, traffic control, and site-specific plans for each project. Safety reduces risk and protects people and property during work.

833-791-7377 will connect you to our safety coordinator or estimating team. We share insurance certificates and license details with owners and managers as part of project onboarding.

Planned maintenance and timely repairs keep roofs performing longer. We offer scheduled inspections, cleaning, and preventive repairs that help owners avoid major failures. This approach saves money and reduces downtime from leaks and damages.

When an event causes damage, we work quickly. Emergency tarping, temporary repairs, and fast restoration limit interior damage and help businesses recover sooner.

Regular inspections catch small issues before they grow. We assess flashings, seams, drains, and membrane condition. These checks identify repair needs and keep roofs on a predictable maintenance schedule to extend system life.

Inspections are documented with photos and clear recommendations. This documentation supports budgeting and helps owners plan roof capital improvements on a sensible timeline.

Rejuvenation can restore some roof types and extend life at a lower cost than replacement. Coatings improve reflectivity and seal small cracks. We evaluate whether your roof is a good candidate for these treatments.

Coatings and rejuvenation are selected based on roof material, age, and condition, aiming to deliver measurable energy savings and added protection when appropriate.

Storms and leaks require a fast, organized response to reduce loss. Our crews stabilize damage, protect interiors, and set plans for permanent repair while coordinating with insurance adjusters and facility managers.

Good projects start with a clear plan and a realistic budget. We perform roof assessments, cost estimates, and phasing plans. That preparation ensures predictable timelines and controlled costs throughout the project.

833-791-7377 connects you to our project planning staff to discuss scope, schedule, and phasing options for multi-building or high-occupancy sites.

We keep communication open with property managers to minimize interruptions and ensure safety. Regular updates and clear documentation make the process simple and predictable for building owners.

Florida codes require specific attachments and wind ratings for many roof systems. We design assemblies with certified components and install wind-resistant configurations where necessary to meet local regulations.
