Reliable TPO Replacement That Lasts
We replace worn commercial flat roofs with durable, energy-efficient systems that protect your building and reduce downtime.
TPO Replacement
At Great Western Roofing, we handle TPO roof replacement for commercial and industrial buildings that need a tougher, more energy-efficient roofing system. If your current single-ply roof is failing, leaking, shrinking, pulling at the seams, or costing more and more to repair, a full replacement may be the smarter long-term move. We help property owners, facility managers, and general contractors replace worn-out roofing with a clean, dependable thermoplastic polyolefin (TPO) system built for performance.
TPO is one of the most popular commercial roofing materials for flat and low-slope roofs. It is known for strong seam performance, heat-welded installation, UV resistance, and reflective energy-saving properties. A properly installed TPO membrane can help lower roof surface temperatures, improve building efficiency, and give you a modern roofing system that is easier to maintain than many older roof types.
When a TPO Roof Replacement Makes Sense
Not every roof can be saved with a repair or restoration. We usually recommend replacement when the roofing system has widespread damage or has reached the end of its service life. Common signs include:
- Ongoing roof leaks in multiple areas
- Open or failed seams
- Membrane cracking, punctures, or shrinkage
- Wet insulation under the roof surface
- Storm, hail, or wind damage across large sections
- Ponding water issues tied to damaged roof layers
- Rising repair costs with recurring problems
- An aging commercial roof that no longer performs well
We do not believe in pushing a replacement when a repair will do the job. Our team starts with a careful inspection so we can give you clear, honest guidance based on the roof condition, budget, and goals for the property.
What Our TPO Replacement Service Includes
Our process is built to protect your building, reduce downtime, and provide a roofing system that lasts. Scope may vary by property, but a typical TPO replacement project includes:
- Full roof inspection and condition assessment
- Tear-off of the existing roofing system when needed
- Evaluation of the roof deck for damage or weak areas
- Replacement of damaged substrate or decking components
- Installation of insulation to improve R-value and energy performance
- Installation of cover board when specified for added strength
- Installation of new TPO membrane
- Heat-welded seams for a watertight bond
- Flashing around curbs, drains, parapet walls, penetrations, and rooftop equipment
- Edge metal and termination details
- Cleanup, final inspection, and workmanship review
Every roof is different. We match the system design to the building use, roof traffic, exposure, drainage needs, and local climate demands here in Utah and the surrounding region.
TPO Roofing System Options
We install commercial TPO systems in different configurations based on your building requirements. These may include:
- Mechanically attached TPO for efficient installation on many large commercial roofs
- Fully adhered TPO for strong wind performance and a clean finished look
- Insulation upgrades to improve thermal performance and energy savings
- Reflective white TPO membranes to reduce heat absorption
- Tapered insulation systems to improve drainage and reduce standing water
Membrane thickness and assembly details can vary by project. We review the best options based on roof size, building use, code requirements, and budget. Our goal is to give you a roof system that performs well now and makes sense over the long term.
Benefits of Replacing Your Roof with TPO
A new TPO roof can offer several practical benefits for commercial property owners:
- Energy efficiency: Reflective membranes can help reduce cooling costs during hot weather
- Strong seam integrity: Heat-welded seams are one of the biggest advantages of TPO systems
- Low-slope compatibility: TPO is ideal for flat and low-slope commercial roofs
- Weather resistance: Good performance against UV exposure, wind, and normal weather conditions
- Clean appearance: A new white membrane gives buildings a crisp, updated look
- Lower maintenance burden: A new system often reduces ongoing leak calls and patchwork repairs
For many facilities, replacing an older roof with TPO is not just about stopping leaks. It is about protecting inventory, equipment, tenants, staff, and operations inside the building.
Our Commercial Roofing Experience Matters
Great Western Roofing focuses on commercial and industrial roofing. That matters when you are replacing a roof on an occupied building, warehouse, school, retail site, office, or large facility. We bring 20 years of experience as a Utah roofing contractor, and we understand how to plan around business operations, site access, safety needs, weather windows, and long-term roof performance.
Our team has worked on major projects including Walmarts in Utah and Wyoming, Daniels Canyon Elementary, and other demanding commercial properties. We are also Owens & Corning Certified Master Applicators, and we stand behind our workmanship. When we replace a roof, we do it with attention to detail because small mistakes on a commercial roof can turn into big problems later.
Our TPO Replacement Process
We keep the process straightforward and well managed from start to finish:
- Inspection and consultation: We inspect the existing roof and discuss your building needs, budget, and timeline.
- Scope and recommendations: We explain whether replacement is the best path and outline the roof system options.
- Project planning: We coordinate materials, access, safety, tear-off, and scheduling to limit disruption.
- Removal and preparation: We remove the failed roofing materials and address any deck or insulation issues.
- Installation: We install the new insulation, membrane, flashings, and edge details to specification.
- Final review: We complete a quality check, clean the site, and make sure the roof is ready to perform.

"Dallin was the contractor from this company who helped me with my project. He is super knowledgeable, professional, and quick in his work and he goes above and beyond to make sure everything is done right. The pricing and quality were great. I will definitely work with him in future projects."
"Great to work with!"
"Bryce was so great to work with! He was quick to respond, quick to get to our house and determine what was wrong and then he quickly made the repair. We highly recommend Great Western Roofing!"
"We called GWR after discovering a leak because they installed our roof in 2007. Dallin responded promptly and came later that afternoon to check out the problem. He was able to fix the issue on the spot... despite having to climb through snow! He invited us to call him in the spring to check for any other issues. I highly recommend Great Western Roofing for any roofing needs."
"I am the Director of Facilities for a nonprofit, six building campus in Salt Lake City. GWR won a public bid on a City grant project to reroof a large apartment building we have on campus. They were incredibly efficient and easy to work with. They did a great job on upgrading our shingles, gutters, and roof ventilation system. I saw firsthand the little details they took to time to ensure were done that can mean the difference between leaks and structural damage over time or not. Dallin and Adam were awesome to work with and extremely friendly and professional. Dallin has since helped us with a few other minor roofing issues across campus and have been my go-to company for roofing/decking needs here. I highly recommend them."
