On a commercial building, the roof also protects the activities taking place beneath it. Planning needs to consider the existing assembly, rooftop equipment, access and occupants. Secure-Toît can discuss a 60 mil TPO replacement with you and help define a scope suited to the building, its condition and the work that needs to be coordinated.
A roof assembly over steel deck contains several layers, with the composition varying by project. Deck and fastener condition, vapour control, insulation and cover boards influence system selection. Our technical illustration explains these roles but does not replace the design for your building. Suspected deterioration or changes affecting the structure require an appropriate assessment before the scope is finalized.
Address details around rooftop equipment
Mechanical equipment curbs, vents, drains and parapets create numerous junctions to address. Prefabricated accessories and hot-air welding are part of our TPO approach. Heights, connections and access need to be checked so details remain compatible with existing components and the agreed work. Automated welding equipment supports the installation process, while the crew remains responsible for setup and verification.
Plan around the building’s occupants
Tell us about operating hours, sensitive areas, delivery access and planned work by other trades. Material handling, site protection and debris removal can then be coordinated accordingly. In an occupied building, communication and work sequencing are part of preparation, just like material selection. Any restrictions on operations should be discussed before agreeing on the project schedule.

That depends on the work, access and building activities. Operating constraints need to be understood before planning the sequence; uninterrupted use of every area should not be assumed.
Do you always replace the steel deck?
No. Its condition and the project requirements need to be assessed. Components to retain or replace are identified from the findings and any further checks that are needed.
What should I prepare for a quote?
The address, building use, available plans, leak history and access restrictions are useful. Include planned work on rooftop equipment or in the spaces directly beneath the roof.
