Commercial TPO Roofing in Chicago, IL
Metalmaster Roofmaster installs, replaces, and repairs commercial TPO roofing systems across Chicago and the surrounding suburbs. TPO is one of the most cost-effective single-ply membranes for flat and low-slope commercial buildings, and our crews heat-weld every seam for a watertight roof built to last decades. We have served Chicagoland for 49 years, fabricate sheet metal in-house, and carry a 0.66 EMR safety rating.
What is TPO roofing?
TPO (thermoplastic polyolefin) is a single-ply roofing membrane made for flat and low-slope commercial roofs. Its reflective white surface bounces sunlight instead of absorbing it, which lowers cooling costs in summer. Seams are heat-welded rather than glued, creating a bond that is stronger than the membrane itself.
Why TPO works for Chicagoland commercial buildings
- Energy efficiency. The reflective surface cuts rooftop heat gain and cooling load through Chicago summers.
- Durability through the seasons. TPO handles freeze-thaw cycles, wind, and ponding without cracking.
- Heat-welded seams. Welded laps resist the leaks that plague taped or glued systems.
- Flexible attachment. Mechanically fastened, fully adhered, or ballasted, matched to your building and budget.
Our TPO installation
Every TPO roof we install is handled by trained crews under a full-time safety director. We fabricate flashings, edge metal, and custom sheet metal in our own 100,000 sq ft shop, so the details match the membrane instead of waiting on a supplier. Our crews are trained to install TPO systems from Johns Manville, Elevate, and Versico, and our reviews from general contractors and testing firms speak to the result.
The roof system installation at the Sam’s Club in Romeoville continues to impress every representative that sets foot on the roof. This is a mechanically fastened roof with no wrinkle in sight. Very impressive!

Frequently asked questions
How long does a TPO roof last?
A properly installed TPO roof typically lasts 20 to 30 years, depending on membrane thickness, attachment method, and maintenance.
Should I choose TPO or EPDM for a Chicago commercial building?
TPO’s reflective white surface lowers cooling costs and suits buildings focused on energy efficiency. EPDM’s black membrane retains heat and is a long-proven option. We assess your building and recommend the right fit.
What affects the cost of a TPO roof?
Roof size and access, membrane thickness, attachment method, insulation, and the condition of the existing roof. We provide a fixed quote after a site assessment.
Is TPO good for Chicago’s climate?
Yes. TPO handles freeze-thaw cycles, wind uplift, and summer heat, which makes it well suited to the Midwest.
Do you repair existing TPO roofs?
Yes. We inspect, locate leaks, and repair TPO roofs, including systems other contractors installed.
