FLAT AND LOW-SLOPE ROOFING

When does a building need PVC instead of TPO or EPDM?

When the roof has to live with grease or chemicals, PVC is the membrane. Kitchen exhaust fans on a restaurant drip animal fats onto the roof every day, and grease degrades TPO and EPDM membranes badly. PVC resists oils, fats, and industrial chemicals, which is why it is the standard call on restaurants, food service buildings, and manufacturing plants with rooftop exhaust.

PVC also shares the best trait of TPO: the seams are welded with hot air, and a proper weld is stronger than the sheet itself. We install Carlisle PVC systems as a Carlisle/Versico certified contractor, on top of the largest commercial roofing portfolio in the market. Whether the building needs a new membrane, a repair, or just someone qualified on the roof twice a year, the first step is the same: a free inspection, and a straight answer about what is up there.

Flat & Low-Slope Roofs

PVC is a single-ply membrane built for flat and low-slope commercial roofs.

Restaurants & Food Service

Grease from kitchen exhaust destroys other membranes. PVC is built for it.

Chemical & Grease Resistance

Resists oils, animal fats, and industrial chemicals that age out TPO and EPDM.

Heat-Welded Seams

Hot-air welds fuse the sheets into one surface, stronger than the membrane itself.

Certifications that take years to earn, and are checked every year.

Any contractor can buy shingles. Very few are approved to install them at the top tier by both GAF and CertainTeed, and fewer still have been voted the best in this valley four separate times.

I have had them out twice now to replace sections of my roof. Both times they did amazing work. They left the area clean when they were done, even taking extra care around all of the plants as to not damage anything. Great work and communication.

We just got a new roof with this company. Pete and Gina are fantastic. Their financing through Green Sky was quick and easy. Their workers worked really fast and did a great job, all the way to the end with great clean up. They were done in one day.

FREQUENTLY ASKED QUESTIONS

PVC ROOFING QUESTIONS, ANSWERED

Straight answers to what homeowners and building owners ask us most. Still not sure about something? Call (315) 733-3106 and a real person will pick up.

What is PVC roofing?

PVC is a white single-ply thermoplastic membrane for flat and low-slope roofs. Sheets are rolled out and the overlaps are welded with hot air, fusing the roof into one continuous surface. It looks like TPO from the ground. The difference is in the chemistry, and the chemistry is the reason to choose it.

What is the difference between PVC, TPO, and EPDM?

All three are single-ply membranes. PVC and TPO are thermoplastics with heat-welded seams, while EPDM is a rubber sheet with taped seams. The big separator is chemical resistance: PVC stands up to grease and oils, and TPO and EPDM do not. We install all three, so the recommendation follows the building, not our inventory.

Why is PVC the roof for restaurants?

Kitchen exhaust fans pull grease out of the building and deposit it on the roof around every vent, year after year. On TPO or EPDM that grease works into the membrane and ages it fast. PVC resists animal fats and oils, so the membrane around the exhaust stays sound. If your building vents a kitchen, this is the roof.

How long does a PVC roof last?

Plan on 20 to 30 years. The honest caveat is that the plasticizers that keep PVC flexible slowly age out over decades, so an old membrane can stiffen. A roof on a twice-yearly inspection schedule gets that caught early, along with the drains and flashings that decide most roof problems anyway.

Which PVC brand do you install?

Carlisle. We are a Carlisle/Versico certified contractor and install Carlisle single-ply systems on our commercial work. Certification matters on a membrane roof because the weld quality is the roof, and the manufacturer holds certified installers to their spec.

Do you inspect and repair existing PVC roofs?

Yes, including roofs we did not install. Property owners and managers bring us in to assess a membrane, clear drainage, re-weld seams, and repair flashings, and to put the roof on a maintenance schedule after. The inspection is free and the report is straight.
