TPO (thermoplastic polyolefin)
Bright white, energy-efficient and heat-welded at every seam. The go-to system for commercial buildings — reflects heat, resists UV and typically carries a 20–30 year manufacturer warranty.

EPDM rubber
A single sheet of synthetic rubber that flexes with the building. Proven for 40+ years on Canadian roofs, extremely repair-friendly and cost-effective on large open spans.
Modified bitumen (SBS)
The classic 2-ply torch-down or cold-applied system. Excellent puncture resistance and a natural fit for older residential flat roofs and additions with foot traffic.
Drainage that actually drains
Ponding water is the #1 killer of flat roofs. We install tapered insulation, re-slope where needed and re-detail every drain — not just resurface the field.
Our Process
- 1
Roof survey with moisture scan and drainage assessment.
- 2
System recommendation based on building use, budget and access.
- 3
Tear-off or re-cover with new insulation and cover board.
- 4
Warranty registration and a 12-month check-up on flashings.
Frequently Asked
TPO or EPDM — which is better?
TPO reflects more heat and welds at the seams; EPDM is more forgiving to repair. For most commercial buildings we recommend TPO; for large residential decks we often recommend EPDM.
Do I have to tear off the old roof?
Not always. If the substrate is dry and only one layer is present, a re-cover with new insulation and membrane is often possible and cheaper.
How long does a flat roof last?
20–30 years for a properly installed TPO or EPDM system with periodic maintenance. Ponding water and neglected flashings are what shorten that number.
