Commercial Roofing Dallas: A Guide to TPO, PVC, and EPDM for Texas Businesses

Adam Renownconstruction • October 21, 2025

Your roof does far more than shield your building from rain and hail — it’s the silent guardian that protects your employees, equipment, inventory, and daily operations.


In Texas, where extreme weather swings from blazing heat to hailstorms, your commercial roofing system must do more than survive — it must perform efficiently year-round. That’s why choosing the right material matters.



At Renown Roofing & Construction, we’ve helped hundreds of Dallas–Fort Worth businesses evaluate, install, and maintain commercial roofs that stand the test of time. Below, we’ll walk you through the three leading options for flat and low-slope roofs: TPO, PVC, and EPDM — what they are, why they matter, and how to choose the right one for your property.


TPO Roofing: The Energy-Efficient Favorite

Thermoplastic Polyolefin (TPO) is one of the most widely installed commercial roofing membranes in North Texas — and for good reason.


TPO combines durability, energy savings, and affordability, making it the go-to choice for businesses wanting maximum performance without breaking the budget.


Benefits of TPO Roofing:
  • Reflective “Cool Roof” Surface: Reflects UV rays, reducing rooftop temperatures by up to 30°F and significantly lowering your cooling costs.
  • Seamless Leak Protection: Heat-welded seams form a watertight bond that outperforms glued or taped alternatives.
  • Low Maintenance: Resistant to dirt, mold, and algae — meaning fewer cleanings and longer lifespan.
  • Cost-Effective: Provides excellent durability and energy savings at a lower price point than PVC.


Best For: Flat or low-slope roofs onoffice buildings, warehouses, retail centers, and industrial facilities looking for high performance at a reasonable cost.


When installed by Renown Roofing & Construction, your TPO system includes a 20-year NDL warranty — ensuring your business stays protected and energy-efficient for decades.


PVC Roofing: Built to Last in Harsh Conditions

When your building is exposed to chemicals, grease, or industrial waste, Renown Roofing & Construction recommends PVC (Polyvinyl Chloride) roofing for its exceptional strength and resistance.


PVC is known for lasting durability in tough commercial environments, which is why so many North Texas restaurants, manufacturers, and distribution centers trust Renown to install it.


Benefits of PVC Roofing:
  • Chemical & Grease Resistance: Perfect for facilities where oils or fats are present — like restaurants or factories — thanks to Renown’s industrial-grade PVC membranes.
  • Built for Texas Heat: Renown installs flexible PVC systems that withstand expansion and contraction without cracking.
  • Superior Waterproofing: All seams are heat-welded by Renown’s certified technicians for total water resistance.
  • Long-Term Durability: PVC roofs installed by Renown regularly last 25–30 years with minimal maintenance.


Best For: Restaurants, manufacturing plants, and facilities that require heavy-duty protection from chemicals, grease, or high heat.


With Renown Roofing & Construction, you’re not just getting a durable roof — you’re getting an expertly engineered system installed to manufacturer specifications and backed by a 20-year full-coverage warranty.



EPDM Roofing: The Time-Tested Workhorse

For decades, Renown Roofing & Construction has trusted EPDM (Ethylene Propylene Diene Monomer) — also known as “rubber roofing” — to protect large facilities that demand reliability at scale.


This material has a proven track record of weather resistance and longevity, making it a smart choice for cost-conscious property owners.


Benefits of PVC Roofing:
  • Extreme Weather Resistance: Renown’s EPDM roofs endure North Texas temperature swings, UV rays, and windstorms without breaking down.
  • Easy Repairs & Maintenance: Our EPDM systems are simple to repair and service, minimizing disruption to your business.
  • Budget-Friendly: Renown installs EPDM at a lower cost per square foot, making it ideal for large roof areas.
  • Long Lifespan: With Renown’s maintenance program, EPDM systems can last 30+ years.


Best For: Warehouses, schools, and large commercial buildings needing affordable, long-lasting protection with minimal upkeep.


When you partner with Renown Roofing, you get more than a simple EPDM installation — you get a long-term asset backed by expert inspections, proactive maintenance, and reliable warranty coverage.
