What It Is
The gap between the TPO promise and the TPO reality
Every TPO roof gets sold on the same pitch, reflective, durable, long lasting. What actually shows up on a lot of roofs is a different story. Coating restores the reflective surface directly, without pulling the membrane and starting over.
What TPO promised
A durable, reflective membrane built to outlast the building, heat welded seams that hold for decades.
What often shows up
Seam shrinkage, surface chalking, and reduced reflectivity well before the rated lifespan is up.
How It Works
Cleaning off what the sun already took
TPO chalks as it weathers, and that chalky residue has to come off before any coating will actually bond. The process starts with a full clean and degrease, followed by a seam check, a primer step where needed, then the coating itself.

What It Costs And How Long It Lasts
Priced below a second TPO install
Coating costs less than a full TPO replacement, since there's no tear off and no new membrane to source and install. The coated surface extends the roof's usable life on its own recoat cycle from here forward.
FAQ
Straight answers
Isn't TPO supposed to last 20 to 30 years?
That's the rated lifespan under ideal conditions. Seam quality, installation, and UV exposure all affect whether a specific roof actually gets there.
Will coating fix seam problems?
Coating addresses the surface, not structural seam failure. [ Placeholder: confirm seam repair process with Justin before this goes live. ]
Does this work on any TPO roof?

The reflective surface, without the second install
Same reflective benefit TPO promised, delivered without a full tear off.
If your TPO roof is losing its reflectivity but hasn't failed structurally, replacing it with more TPO just resets the same clock. Coating gets you the surface performance back without paying for another membrane.
