Management for this new Starbucks location needed the best roof possible for this major remodel of a previous business. In the end, single ply TPO was supplied and installed by the pros at Level 1 Roofing.

If you are looking for an environmentally wise and energy-efficient choice for your roof TPO is a fantastic option. The white reflective surfaces help HVAC units and keep the heat out in the first place. Durable and backed by a decades-long warranty, TPO could be the best choice for your roof.

We are glad we could do our part to help bring delicious coffee and food to the citizens and travelers of Truckee.

This commercial roofing Long Beach project was a great team effort by Level 1 Roofing and the building owners in providing a long-lasting no dollar limit warranty commercial flat roof. This particular roofing installation was for an existing building that has been remodeled. Level 1 Roofing was contracted to install a warrantied GAF single-ply PVC roof. We laid a foundation of Den’s Deck down before mechanically attaching the PVC membrane rolls and heat welding the seams to be fully water-tight. The Den’s Deck allows for the roof to have a class A fire rating. Very important to have a fire resistant roof in the LA area.

This bright white commercial roof system will cut energy costs drastically compared to a darker hot-mop or built-up roofing system, especially in the Long Beach / Los Angeles sun. Not only does the bright white reflect 87 percent of solar energy. The EverGuard PVC also has a .88 emissivity value. Both the reflective and emissive value are from 3rd party testing agency ASTM. These values well exceed energy star and California’s Title 24 regulations for cool roofing and energy savings.

On the environmental side, single-ply roofing is a much green alternative to using an older system like an asphalt built-up roof. Not only in the previously mentioned cool roof energy factor but also in the material itself as well as the installation process. Fewer fumes and harmful vapors are released into the air compared to asphalt-based roofing. Single-ply roofing systems also lend themselves much better to being recycled. With such great environmental and fiscal benefits compared to many other low slope roof types, it’s no wonder this commercial roofing Long Beach project chose a single-ply roofing product. It is becoming the standard in sunny and wet places across Southern California and much of the country.

For this commercial/retail single-ply TPO and standing seam metal new construction roofing project Level 1 Roofing was hired to do the job. We completed the 20 Year GAF NDL warranty for the TPO roof system. This Chevron gas station, convenience store, and car wash is now open to the public of Beaumont and the surrounding communities. This was the commercial property owners first time choosing to try a single-ply roofing system like TPO instead of a built-up asphalt based roof. The reflective and bright white of the TPO roof keeps the roof and building cooler than other traditional roofing methods such as BUR or EPDM. We used a mechanically attached 60 Mil Everguard GAF TPO and accessories to finish this new construction project. At Level 1 Roofing we noticed a large momentum swing toward more environmentally friendly and renewable materials in new construction roofing and tenant improvement projects and plans. Level 1 Roofing hopes to advance that trend as we push towards these better options especially on larger commercial roofing projects. When combining the impact of reduced heat, reduced cooling costs, and reduced landfill waste everyone stands to gain from cleaning roofing and construction.

New Construction Single-Ply Membrane Project

This project in Littlerock, CA included both a GAF PVC 50 mil roofing system installed over polyiso along with siding on this new construction build. PVC roofing systems are long lasting performance roofing membranes that have been around for longer than you may think. The first PVC roof membrane was formulated in the late 1960’s but didn’t start catching on until the 1970’s. PVC roofs have been shown to have 30 plus year of durability. Newer formulations have been improved since early days in regards to temperature performance.

Adding walk-pad to a single ply membrane roof helps prolongs the longevity of the roof, especially in high traffic areas. Constant servicing of HVAC units can wear on the roof but walk-pad helps alleviate that issue.
