This single-ply membrane combines the durability of EPDM with the heat-welded seams of PVC at a lower cost. For San Antonio's commercial buildings, TPO's white reflective surface reduces cooling costs, its heat-welded seams create watertight bonds, and its chemical resistance handles roof-mounted HVAC equipment without degradation. Legacy Home Improvements is bonded up to $1.5 million per project and installs TPO systems for commercial properties across the San Antonio metro.

Why Choose TPO Roofing?
Key advantages that make this roofing material stand out for San Antonio properties.
Energy Star Rated
White TPO membrane reflects up to 87% of solar radiation, dramatically reducing cooling costs for commercial buildings in San Antonio's heat.
Heat-Welded Seams
Hot-air welded seams create bonds stronger than the membrane itself, eliminating the seam failures common with adhesive-based systems.
Chemical Resistant
Resists animal fats, plant oils, and common rooftop chemicals, making it ideal for restaurants, commercial kitchens, and buildings with rooftop equipment.
Cost-Effective
TPO typically costs 15 to 25% less than PVC while offering comparable performance in most applications.
Puncture Resistant
Available in 45, 60, and 80-mil thicknesses with reinforced scrim for high-traffic and high-puncture-risk applications.
Recyclable
TPO is fully recyclable at end of life, supporting sustainability goals and LEED certification requirements.
Ideal Applications
Commercial flat roofs and low-slope buildings
Retail centers and strip malls
Restaurants and food service buildings
Office buildings and medical offices
Warehouses and industrial facilities
Multi-family apartment complexes
Warranty Coverage
Major TPO manufacturers (Carlisle, GAF, Firestone, Johns Manville) offer 15 to 30-year warranties depending on membrane thickness and system specification. NDL (No Dollar Limit) warranties are available for qualifying installations. Legacy is approved by all major TPO manufacturers.
Maintenance Tips
- Semi-annual inspections recommended (spring and fall).
- Keep roof drains and scuppers clear of debris.
- Inspect seams and flashings for signs of separation or damage.
- Address ponding water issues promptly to prevent premature membrane degradation.
Performance in San Antonio's Climate
TPO is excellent for San Antonio's commercial buildings. The white reflective surface can reduce rooftop temperatures by 50 to 60°F compared to dark built-up roofing, translating to significant HVAC savings. The heat-welded seams also perform well in our thermal cycling environment, expanding and contracting without separation.
