Benefits of Single-ply Roofing Systems
Types of Single-ply Roofing Systems
TPO (Thermoplastic Olefin)
TPO is a widely used, energy-efficient roofing membrane known for its strong UV and chemical resistance. Its heat-welded seams create a seamless, waterproof barrier, perfect for Arizona’s intense sun and heat. TPO roofs are flexible, durable, and highly reflective, helping to reduce cooling costs. This makes TPO an excellent, cost-effective choice for both residential and commercial flat or low-slope roofs.
EPDM (Ethylene Propylene Diene Monomer)
EPDM is a synthetic rubber roofing membrane prized for its flexibility and resilience in extreme weather conditions. It performs well under Arizona’s hot sun and seasonal fluctuations, resisting UV rays and ozone damage. EPDM roofs are easy to install and repair, offering long-lasting protection with low maintenance. Its affordability and durability make it a popular option for flat or low-slope roofs in residential and commercial buildings.
PVC (Polyvinyl Chloride)
PVC roofing membranes are durable and highly resistant to chemicals, fire, and UV radiation. Their heat-welded seams provide a strong, watertight seal, ideal for Arizona’s demanding climate. PVC is also highly reflective, which reduces heat absorption and cooling costs. Its toughness and energy efficiency make it a reliable choice for flat and low-slope roofs on commercial and residential properties throughout Arizona.
Single-ply Roofing Systems Comparison
TPO
TPO offers solid durability with excellent resistance to UV rays, heat, and chemical exposure—ideal for Arizona’s harsh climate. However, quality can vary by manufacturer, so using a trusted installer is key for long-term performance.
Installation: TPO is lightweight and installed with heat-welded seams, creating a strong, waterproof bond. It requires skilled technicians but generally installs faster than other systems, making it cost-effective for larger roofs.
Maintenance: PO membranes are relatively low-maintenance, though regular inspections are recommended to check seams and flashing. Their reflective surface resists dirt, which helps maintain energy efficiency with minimal cleaning.
Cost: TPO is moderately priced, offering a balance between performance and affordability. It delivers long-term energy savings, making it a budget-friendly option for commercial and residential properties in Arizona.
EPDM
Durability: EPDM offers great durability and weather resistance, particularly against UV and ozone. It performs well in extreme temperatures, but it’s more vulnerable to punctures than TPO or PVC, especially on high-traffic roofs.
Installation: EPDM is typically installed using adhesive or ballast. It’s easier to install than heat-welded systems and suitable for large, simple roof designs. However, seams are glued, which can be less reliable over time.
Maintenance: EPDM is low-maintenance but may require periodic seam resealing. It’s easy to repair with patches, making it a practical choice for building owners looking for long-term serviceability.
Cost: EPDM is often the most affordable single-ply membrane option. It provides excellent value, especially for large commercial roofs, though it may lack the reflectivity of TPO and PVC.
PVC
Durability: PVC is highly durable, offering strong resistance to fire, chemicals, grease, and UV exposure. It performs exceptionally well in Arizona’s extreme conditions and maintains its flexibility and strength over time.
Installation: PVC is heat-welded like TPO, creating tight, waterproof seams. Installation requires skilled labor and precise equipment, but results in a highly secure roofing system ideal for flat and low-slope roofs.
Maintenance: PVC requires minimal maintenance thanks to its resistance to dirt, mold, and chemicals. Regular inspections help maximize its lifespan, but overall, it’s one of the lowest-maintenance single-ply options.
Cost: PVC tends to be the most expensive of the three, but it offers premium performance, especially where chemical or fire resistance is needed. The higher initial cost often pays off in longevity and efficiency.
When to Replace Your
Single-ply Roofing System?
Membrane Cracks or Splits
Visible cracks, tears, or splits in the membrane can compromise waterproofing. These issues often occur from prolonged UV exposure or temperature shifts and are a clear sign your roof may need replacement.
Persist Leaks or Water Damage
Ongoing leaks, ceiling stains, or pooling water may indicate the membrane or seams have failed. If repairs no longer stop the leaks, it’s likely time to replace the entire roofing system.
Blistering or Bubbling
Blisters or bubbles beneath the membrane often signal trapped moisture or air. These issues reduce membrane adhesion and can lead to leaks, indicating that replacement may be necessary.
UV or Heat Damage
In Arizona’s harsh sun, single-ply membranes can degrade over time. Fading, brittleness, or surface chalking may show the material is no longer effective and needs replacement.
Roof Age Exceeds Warranty
Most single-ply systems last 20–30 years with proper care. If your roof is past its warranty or life expectancy, it’s wise to consider a full replacement before major problems develop.

Our Customers
Unfortunately, after following up several times to schedule the repair, I was told by text, “Boss said no.” Not only was the job now off the table, but during the original visit, part of the chimney had been pulled apart without my consent — leaving it more exposed than before. When I raised this concern, I received an initial response from their COO, who apologized and said he would look into it. Despite my attempts to follow up and work toward a solution, they stopped responding entirely.
I don’t take leaving negative reviews lightly, but this was a disappointing experience. I was left with a partially dismantled chimney, no resolution, and empty assurances. I hope others have a better experience, but I can’t recommend this company based on how things were handled in my case.
We recently had our entire roof redone by AZ Roof Co., and I couldn’t be happier with the results. The new roof looks fantastic, and it’s backed by a 20-year warranty, which gives us so much peace of mind.
A huge shoutout to Pino, our Project Manager—he was truly a pleasure to work with. He was incredibly accommodating with our schedule, kept us informed every step of the way, and was always kind and professional. You could really tell he cared about the quality of the work and our overall experience.
There was a small mishap during the project where something fell and damaged one of our outdoor tables, but I want to emphasize how impressed I am with how the team handled it. They immediately took responsibility and are going above and beyond to make it right. That level of accountability and customer care is rare and very much appreciated.
I highly recommend AZ Roof Co. to anyone in need of roofing work. Excellent service, beautiful results, and a team that truly stands behind their work!
