What Makes TPO Roofing So Effective?
TPO roofing is more than a trend; it’s a practical, science-backed solution for building owners who want energy savings, reliable waterproofing, and low maintenance costs.
Key Benefits:
- Energy Efficiency: TPO’s reflective surface can dramatically reduce rooftop and interior temperatures—by over 50°F in some cases—leading to meaningful savings on cooling costs and lower energy demand.

- Durability: TPO membranes resist tearing, UV damage, chemicals, and bacterial growth—making them ideal for harsh, sunny climates.
- Cost-Effective Lifespan: With an expected lifespan of 15–20+ years and minimal upkeep, TPO offers long-term value without high recurring maintenance costs.
- Eco-Friendly: TPO is fully recyclable and helps reduce a building’s carbon footprint by improving insulation and reducing cooling demand.

Pasadena’s Climate: A Real Test for Roofing
In Southeast Texas, roofing systems must withstand year-round heat, severe storms, and occasional flooding. Average highs exceed 90°F in the summer, and the area receives more than 50 inches of rainfall annually.
TPO is one of the few roofing materials built to thrive in these conditions:
- Reflects UV Radiation: Reduces rooftop temperatures and stress on insulation.
- Welded Seams: Prevents leaks even during torrential rains or high winds.
- Moisture & Mold Resistance: Keeps the membrane clean and effective in humid environments.
This is why many building owners in the region are moving toward TPO when choosing roof replacement or flat roofing upgrades.

Step-by-Step TPO Installation Process
We use manufacturer-approved procedures and NRCA standards to ensure every installation meets the highest performance standards.
Our Process:
- Inspection & Planning
We start with a roof inspection to assess condition, slope, penetrations, and drainage. We identify the best attachment method: mechanical, adhered, or ballasted. - Insulation Setup
Insulation boards are installed to improve energy performance. Our team works with ISO, EPS, or XPS based on your goals. - Membrane Application
TPO rolls are laid across the roof and securely fastened or glued in place. Edges and overlaps are heat-welded to form strong, watertight seams. - Sealing & Flashing
Vents, HVAC curbs, and edges are sealed with flashing to prevent moisture entry. - Final QA & Cleanup
A full quality check ensures every detail is covered. You’ll receive documentation and warranty information at handoff.
We follow guidelines from the National Roofing Contractors Association (NRCA) to meet or exceed industry best practices.

What they’re saying about us
Frequently Asked Questions
What is TPO roofing, and why is it used in Pasadena, TX?
TPO (Thermoplastic Polyolefin) is a single-ply roofing membrane designed for flat and low-slope roofs. It’s popular in Pasadena due to its reflective surface that reduces cooling costs during our long, hot summers. Its ability to withstand UV exposure, humidity, and heavy rain makes it ideal for Texas Gulf Coast conditions.
How long does a TPO roof last in Southeast Texas?
A properly installed and maintained TPO roof typically lasts between 15 and 20 years. In the Pasadena climate—where heat and humidity are significant—routine maintenance and inspections are essential to maximize lifespan.
Is TPO roofing good for commercial buildings?
Yes. TPO is a top choice for commercial properties like warehouses, strip malls, office parks, and medical facilities. It resists foot traffic, supports rooftop units, and helps lower energy usage in buildings with high A/C demands.
Can TPO roofs handle extreme heat and storms in Texas?
Absolutely. TPO is engineered to reflect solar heat and resist thermal expansion, which is critical during Pasadena’s 90+ degree summers. Its welded seams also protect against leaks during heavy rainfall or wind events.
How much does a TPO roof cost to install in the Pasadena area?
Installation typically ranges from $6 to $12 per square foot, depending on insulation, membrane thickness, and project complexity. We provide free estimates tailored to your building type and goals.
How is TPO roofing different from other materials like EPDM or modified bitumen?
TPO reflects heat, has heat-welded seams, and is more energy-efficient than EPDM (a black rubber membrane) or modified bitumen (a layered asphalt product). It’s generally better suited for hot, sunny climates like Pasadena.
Can TPO roofing be installed over an existing roof?
In many cases, yes—especially if the existing structure is sound and meets local code. Our team will assess your current roof and advise whether a full tear-off or overlay is best for your needs.
Is TPO considered an environmentally friendly roofing option?
Yes. TPO is recyclable, low in VOCs (volatile organic compounds), and its high reflectivity helps reduce energy usage. Many Pasadena businesses choose it as part of a larger sustainability strategy.
What type of maintenance does a TPO roof require?
Minimal, but important. We recommend twice-yearly inspections, debris removal, and occasional seam checks. Our roof maintenance checklist helps building owners stay proactive and extend their system’s life.
Does 12 Stones Roofing offer TPO repair and emergency service?
Yes, we provide full-service roof repair and emergency roofing services. If your TPO roof has been damaged by a storm or is leaking, we can respond quickly, often the same day, to stabilize and repair it.
