Pros and cons

Is TPO worth it?

For it

a white, heat-reflecting surface that lowers cooling costs, UV resistance, simple installation and low maintenance. That suits a hot North Carolina summer.

Against it

HomeGuide notes repairs can be expensive, colors are limited, and quality varies between manufacturers because the material is relatively new. Pick an established brand; HomeGuide names Versico, Carlisle, GAF, Firestone and GenFlex among the most trusted.

How long does a TPO roof last?

10 to 25 years on average, depending on material quality and thickness, per HomeGuide.

Is 60 mil TPO worth it over 45 mil?
