Commercial Roofing Systems In-Depth
Understanding the differences between commercial roofing systems helps you make the best choice for your building. Compare two of the most popular options in our TPO vs EPDM roofing guide.
TPO (Thermoplastic Polyolefin)
TPO is the fastest-growing commercial roofing membrane in the U.S. This single-ply membrane combines the benefits of EPDM rubber and PVC roofing while avoiding their drawbacks. TPO reflects UV rays, keeping buildings cooler and reducing energy costs, which is especially valuable in Jacksonville's hot climate.
TPO seams are heat-welded, creating a watertight bond stronger than the membrane itself. This eliminates the adhesive failures common with other systems. As a full-service Jacksonville roofing company, we install TPO in white, tan, and gray, with white providing the best energy performance. Typical warranties range from 15-30 years.
Typical cost: $5-8 per square foot installed. Ideal for buildings under 5 stories.
Best For
- • Retail buildings
- • Office buildings
- • Medical facilities
- • New construction
- • Energy-conscious owners
EPDM (Ethylene Propylene Diene Monomer)
EPDM is a durable rubber roofing membrane with a 50+ year track record. It's extremely resistant to UV radiation, ozone, and weathering. EPDM is available in black (traditional) and white (reflective) options. The material remains flexible even in cold temperatures, making it resistant to cracking.
EPDM can be installed fully adhered, mechanically attached, or ballasted. Seams are joined with adhesive or tape. While reliable, EPDM seams require periodic inspection and maintenance. The system handles ponding water well, making it suitable for flat roofs with drainage challenges.
Typical cost: $5-7 per square foot installed. Excellent for budget-conscious building owners.
Best For
- • Warehouses
- • Industrial buildings
- • Budget projects
- • Large flat roofs
- • Low-traffic areas
Commercial Metal Roofing
Metal roofing offers unmatched durability and hurricane performance for commercial buildings. Standing seam systems with concealed fasteners provide the best long-term performance, rated for winds exceeding 180 mph. Metal is ideal for sloped commercial roofs and buildings requiring maximum storm protection.
We install steel, aluminum, and zinc metal roofing systems. Steel is most economical, and aluminum resists corrosion for coastal locations. Metal roofs reflect heat, reducing cooling costs, and last 40-70 years with minimal maintenance. They're also 100% recyclable at end of life.
Typical cost: $8-15 per square foot installed depending on panel type and material.
Best For
- • Churches
- • Schools
- • Restaurants
- • Sloped roofs
- • Hurricane zones
Modified Bitumen
Modified bitumen is an evolution of built-up roofing (BUR) that uses factory-manufactured sheets rather than field-applied layers. The asphalt is modified with rubber or plastic polymers for improved flexibility and durability. It provides excellent waterproofing and handles foot traffic well.
We install modified bitumen using torch-applied, cold-adhesive, or self-adhering methods. Multi-ply systems provide redundant waterproofing protection. Reflective coatings can be added to improve energy efficiency. Modified bitumen is well-suited for buildings requiring regular roof access for equipment maintenance.
Typical cost: $6-10 per square foot installed for 2-3 ply systems.
Best For
- • Buildings with rooftop equipment
- • High foot traffic areas
- • Restaurants (grease resistant)
- • Complex roof shapes
- • Budget projects

Yes, we offer customized maintenance plans to extend your roof's lifespan and catch potential issues before they become costly problems. Plans include regular inspections, minor repairs, and priority emergency service.
