Protect what happens under your roof. Double R Roofing installs single-ply membrane systems with heat-welded seams and the right details for your building.
TPO and PVC are thermoplastic membrane options for commercial and low-slope roofs. Selecting between them requires more than comparing color or price. Double R Roofing evaluates roofing projects in Princeton and surrounding West Virginia communities with attention to drainage, deck condition, insulation, rooftop equipment, and building use. A written scope should identify the selected membrane, attachment method, insulation, seams, flashing, and edge details. Where exhaust or other chemical exposure is a concern, check the specific manufacturer’s compatibility guidance rather than assuming every product performs the same way. Light-colored membranes can reduce absorbed solar heat, but that does not establish a fixed energy saving for a particular building. Compare the complete roof assembly, installation requirements, and written warranty terms before choosing a system.

Roofing guide updated . General guidance; project conditions and written specifications determine the work.
Your roof's use, drainage and exposure matter. We help you compare the options before choosing a membrane.
Explore both systems below. A roof assessment helps determine the right specification.
A practical choice for offices, retail buildings and many low-slope roofs. White TPO combines a reflective surface with hot-air-welded seams.
A strong option to evaluate for restaurants and facilities with grease or chemical exposure. Product compatibility is matched to conditions on your roof.
Unsure which fits? Start with a roof assessment. We'll walk you through the tradeoffs.
Follow the layers as you scroll.
Illustrative assembly; the final specification depends on your roof.
A membrane is only part of a roofing system. The substrate, insulation, drainage and flashings all need to work together to protect the space below.
Overlapping sheets are joined with hot air. Seam checks help identify areas that need attention before the job is complete.
We assess the existing deck, insulation and drainage so the specified assembly addresses conditions beneath the membrane.
Roof edges, drains, curbs and penetrations get compatible flashing details, where dependable water management matters most.
Review roof condition, drainage, access and how you use the building. Discuss TPO and PVC options and the proposed scope.
Prepare the substrate, install specified insulation and membrane, weld seams, and detail edges and penetrations.
Inspect seams and flashings, clean the work area, and review the completed installation and maintenance needs with you.
PVC workmanship coverage: Double R Roofing provides 40-year workmanship coverage on qualifying PVC systems, with applicable terms and eligibility provided in writing. Manufacturer warranties are separate; up to 20-year manufacturer warranty options are available when installed by certified contractors.
That depends on the building, budget and roof exposure. TPO is worth considering for many general commercial applications. PVC may be a better fit where grease or specific chemical exposure is a concern. We review the conditions and manufacturer requirements with you.
Sometimes, but a recover is not right for every roof. Existing moisture, deck condition, the number of roof layers, local code and manufacturer requirements determine whether removal is needed.
A reflective membrane can reduce solar heat absorption. Actual energy use depends on insulation, climate, building operation and the existing roof, so savings vary by building.
Roof size, access, preparation, weather and flashing details all affect the schedule. We discuss timing and coordination with your business as part of the project plan.
