TPO Roof Patching in Coastal Georgia

Professional TPO patching involves cleaning the damaged area, cutting a TPO patch 4-6 inches larger than the damage, positioning it over the hole or tear, and heat-welding all edges using hot air equipment (typically 500-600°F). The heat melts both the patch and existing membrane, creating a molecular bond. After welding, seams are tested with a probe tool to verify proper adhesion. This creates a watertight, permanent repair that's as strong as the original membrane.

TPO roofing tape exists and can provide temporary emergency protection (6-12 months), but it's not a permanent solution. Tape eventually fails due to UV exposure, temperature cycling, and adhesive degradation. For lasting repairs, heat-welded patches are required—they maintain warranty compliance and last 15-20+ years. We use tape only for emergency situations until proper heat-welded repairs can be scheduled.

Small TPO patches (under 2 sq ft) typically cost $200-500 including labor and materials. Larger patches or multiple small patches may cost $500-1,200. Emergency service carries premium pricing. The exact cost depends on damage size, roof accessibility, and whether temporary or permanent patching is needed. We provide written estimates before any work begins—no hidden fees or surprise charges.

Properly executed heat-welded patches using approved methods and materials should not void your manufacturer warranty. However, improper repairs (using wrong materials, incorrect techniques, or non-certified contractors) can void coverage. We follow manufacturer specifications and use approved TPO patch material to maintain your warranty protection. Always have repairs documented for warranty records.
