TPO Roofing System Installation Hempstead - R&M ROOFERS LLC
When Hurricane Sandy hit Long Island back in 2012, we spent three straight weeks replacing damaged roofs all across Hempstead. That’s when we really learned the difference between roofs that last and ones that don’t. The buildings with quality TPO roofing systems? They barely had a loose seam. The old tar and gravel roofs? Total disasters.
We’re R&M Roofers, and we’ve been installing TPO roofing systems in Hempstead for over 15 years. If you own a commercial building or flat-roof home anywhere from Garden City to West Hempstead, you’ve probably seen our trucks around. We’re the ones who fixed the roof at the shopping center on Hempstead Turnpike after that bad storm last spring.
That’s what proper loft insulation & roof ventilation upgrades do for Hempstead homes. Your attic is the biggest factor in your home’s energy efficiency, but most Long Island houses have insulation and ventilation systems that were adequate 20 years ago but don’t meet today’s standards. We’ve been doing loft insulation & roof ventilation upgrades since 2008, and we consistently see 30-50% reductions in energy costs when both systems work together properly.
Here’s what most homeowners don’t realize about loft insulation & roof ventilation upgrades – they’re a system that needs to work together. Great insulation with poor ventilation traps moisture and reduces efficiency. Excellent ventilation with inadequate insulation lets energy escape. But when loft insulation & roof ventilation upgrades are designed to complement each other, the energy savings are dramatic and the comfort improvements are immediate.
Why TPO Roofing Systems Work So Well in Hempstead
Here’s something most roofing companies won’t tell you – not all TPO roofs are the same. We use a 60-mil TPO membrane because it handles our Long Island weather better than the thinner stuff. Between the salt air from the ocean and those brutal winter ice dams we get every year, your roof needs something that can bend without braking.
TPO roofing system installation isn’t just about rolling out white rubber. The real work happens underneath. We start with a complete inspection of your roof deck, then build up proper insulation layers. Most problems we see come from shortcuts during installation, not the TPO material itself.
Last month, we had to tear off a TPO roof that another company installed just three years ago. They skipped the primer step and used the wrong adhesive. The whole thing was peeling up like old wallpaper. Don’t let that happen to you.
Without proper ventilation, even the best insulation can fail because trapped moisture reduces its thermal resistance and creates conditions for mold growth. Without adequate insulation, ventilation systems work harder and less efficiently because there’s nothing to slow heat transfer between your attic and living spaces.
The key to successful loft insulation & roof ventilation upgrades is understanding how air movement, moisture control, and thermal barriers interact in your specific home. We evaluate both systems together and design improvements that maximize the benefits of each component.
Long Island’s climate makes this integration even more important because we deal with extreme temperature swings, high humidity, and ice dam conditions that test both insulation and ventilation systems. Upgrades need to handle summer heat, winter cold, and moisture challenges year-round.
Commercial Roofing Services
Most of our commercial work happens on the flat roofs you see all over Hempstead – warehouse buildings, strip malls, office complexes. These buildings need roofs that can handle foot traffic from HVAC techs and delivery guys walking around up there.
We install TPO roofing systems on everything from small retail stores to big industrial buildings. The white TPO reflects heat really well, which saves money on air conditioning during those hot summers. We had one client tell us their electric bill dropped 20% after we put a new TPO roof on their 10,000 square foot warehouse.
For commercial roofing services, timing matters a lot. We can usually get your TPO roofing system installation done without shutting down your business. We work around your schedule and set up temporary weather protection if we hit rain delays.
The commercial buildings around Uniondale and East Meadow have taught us a lot about proper drainage. Flat roofs need good drainage or you’ll have ponding water that destroys the membrane. We always check existing drains and upgrade them if needed.
Our loft insulation upgrade process starts with removing old, damaged, or inadequate insulation that’s lost its effectiveness. We seal air leaks around electrical penetrations, plumbing runs, and other openings that let conditioned air escape into attic spaces.
During loft insulation upgrade, we install modern insulation materials designed for Long Island’s climate conditions. We use proper installation techniques that prevent settling, maintain ventilation channels, and provide consistent thermal protection throughout your attic space.
Professional loft insulation upgrade includes moisture control measures that prevent condensation problems and extend insulation life. We install proper vapor barriers, maintain ventilation pathways, and use materials that resist moisture damage and mold growth.
Residential Roofing
Flat roof homes are pretty common in parts of Hempstead, especially some of the older developments near Hofstra University. These homes present unique challenges because you’re living under the roof while we’re working on it.
Our residential roofing process starts with a detailed inspection from inside your house. We check for any signs of water damage or structural issues before we touch the outside. Sometimes we find problems that previous roofers missed – like inadequate ventilation or insulation gaps that cause ice dams.
TPO roofing system installation on homes usually takes 2-3 days depending on the size. We protect all your landscaping and clean up completely each day. Your neighbors won’t even know we were there except for the new white roof.
The homes near Hempstead Lake State Park get a lot of falling branches and debris. We always recommend thicker TPO membranes in these areas because of all the trees around.
During attic insulation and ventilation integration, we install soffit baffles that maintain air channels from soffit vents to attic spaces while preventing insulation from blocking air flow. These channels are critical for ventilation effectiveness.
Attic insulation and ventilation integration also involves sealing air leaks between living spaces and attic areas while maintaining necessary ventilation pathways. We use specialized materials and techniques that provide air sealing without interfering with ventilation performance.
The goal of attic insulation and ventilation integration is creating systems that work together seamlessly – insulation provides thermal protection while ventilation controls moisture and temperature to keep insulation working effectively for decades.
Roof Repair Services
Not every roof problem needs a complete replacement. We do a lot of roof repair work on existing TPO systems – mostly fixing seams that came loose or patches where something punctured the membrane.
The tricky thing about TPO repairs is matching the existing material. TPO formulas have changed over the years, and some of the older gray TPO doesn’t bond well with newer products. We keep samples of different TPO generations so we can match what’s already on your roof.
Emergency roof repairs happen more often than you’d think. We get calls after every big storm – usually someone with a tree branch through their TPO roof or damage from falling debris. We keep emergency supplies in our trucks and can do temporary patches 24/7.
Last winter we did emergency repairs on three different buildings along Fulton Avenue after that ice storm. The key is getting there fast before water damage spreads inside the building.
Our blown-in insulation installations include soffit baffles and ventilation channels that maintain air flow while achieving target insulation levels. We use depth gauges and proper installation techniques that provide consistent coverage without overpacking.
Blown-in insulation with proper ventilation provides superior energy performance because it fills all gaps and voids while maintaining the air movement necessary for moisture control. This combination works especially well in Long Island’s humid climate.
We use high-quality blown insulation materials designed for coastal conditions – materials that resist moisture absorption, don’t support mold growth, and maintain thermal properties even in humid environments.
Roof Maintenance
Here’s something that will save you thousands – regular roof maintenance. We recommend checking your TPO roofing system twice a year, spring and fall. Most problems start small and get expensive when you ignore them.
During roof maintenance visits, we check all the seams, inspect around penetrations like vents and HVAC units, and clear any debris from drains. We also look at the membrane condition and note any areas starting to show wear.
We have maintenance contracts with several property management companies in Hempstead. They’ve learned that spending a little on preventive maintenance beats paying for emergency repairs when tenants start complaining about leaks.
The buildings near the train station get a lot of soot and debris that clogs drains. Regular cleaning prevents water backup that can destroy your TPO roofing system.
Emergency Roofing
When your roof starts leaking at 2 AM during a storm, you need someone who answers the phone. We handle emergency roofing calls throughout Hempstead and surrounding areas.
Emergency roofing isn’t just about stopping leaks quickly. We also document everything for insurance claims and make sure temporary repairs won’t cause bigger problems later. Sometimes insurance adjusters want to see the damage before we make permanent repairs.
The most common emergency calls we get involve TPO roofing systems that weren’t installed properly in the first place. Poor workmanship shows up fast when you get hit with 60mph winds and driving rain.
We keep emergency repair kits in all our trucks with patch material, adhesives, and temporary covering. Getting there within an hour can mean the difference between a $500 repair and $5000 in water damage.
Gutter Services
Proper gutters are part of any good TPO roofing system installation. Water needs somewhere to go, and clogged or damaged gutters can cause serious problems with flat roofs.
We install and repair gutters on commercial and residential buildings. The gutter work often happens at the same time as roofing projects because everything needs to work together.
Buildings in West Hempstead get a lot of leaves from all the mature trees. We recommend gutter guards to keep debris out and prevent backup that can damage your TPO membrane.
Skylight Installation
Adding skylights to a TPO roofing system requires careful planning and proper flashing. We install all types of skylights – from small residential units to big commercial ones.
The trick with skylight installation on TPO roofs is getting the flashing right. Water always finds the smallest gap, so we use multiple layers of protection around every skylight.
We did skylight installation on that big office building on Main Street last year. Twelve large units that bring natural light into the workspace while maintaining the energy efficiency of the TPO roofing system.
