Chanhassen, Minnesota
Complete TPO Roofing in Chanhassen, MN
The low slope roofs we cover in Chanhassen sit on buildings that went up alongside the 1990s and 2000s subdivisions, so most are on their first or second membrane. On August 9, 2020, storms parked overhead and dropped 5.53 inches of rain along with golf ball hail. A flat roof either handled that night or it did not.

What we find under a Chanhassen flat roof
Most of the work starts with a core cut. We pull a small square through the roof to see what is down there: how many layers, whether the insulation is wet, whether the deck is steel or wood. That answer drives the price more than the membrane does. Wet insulation has to leave. On a building that took 5.53 inches of rain in a night, we expect to find some. Drains matter just as much. We check that every drain and overflow scupper is clear and set low enough to actually pull water off, then build tapered insulation to move standing water toward them. If your roof carries kitchen grease exhaust, we will steer you toward PVC roofing instead, because hot grease breaks down a TPO sheet over time.
TPO Roofing in Chanhassen
What a TPO roof does for a Chanhassen building
Seams welded, not glued
TPO laps are hot air welded into one sheet. On a roof that saw 5.53 inches of rain in a single night, welded laps are the difference between a wet ceiling and a dry one.
Tapered insulation cut to the drains
Flat roofs are never truly flat. We lay tapered insulation so water runs to the drains instead of sitting in low spots, which is where old membranes split first.
Wet insulation out before the sheet
If the core cut comes back soaked, that insulation leaves. Laying a new membrane over wet board traps the water, rots the deck from below and shortens the life of everything above it.
Hail damage you can date
The National Weather Service forecast office and its KMPX radar sit on Lake Drive West, so storms over this city are logged here. That helps when a claim turns on which night the hail fell.
Curbs and rooftop units flashed once
Most commercial leaks start at a curb, a vent or a unit stand, not in the field of the roof. Every penetration gets a welded target patch and a proper termination.
Walkway pads where people walk
Service techs cut paths across a roof over the years. We set walkway pads between the hatch and the equipment so foot traffic does not grind through the membrane.
Why Chanhassen owners and managers call us
We core the roof before quoting
A number without a core cut is a guess. We open the roof, count the layers, check the insulation for moisture and price what is actually there.
We keep the site usable
A tear-off throws old membrane, fasteners and metal everywhere. We keep the dumpster tight to the building, sweep for fasteners daily and keep the tenant parking usable.
Open at two in the morning
The August 9, 2020 storms ran past midnight. We are open twenty four hours, seven days, so a leak over occupied space gets a tarp and a call back the same night.
The scope is in writing
You get the membrane thickness, the attachment method, the insulation and the metal listed out, so you can compare our estimate against another one line for line.
We put the same people on it
The person who walks your roof and writes the scope is the person you call while the work is running. Family run outfits can do that, and it saves a lot of translation.

TPO questions from Chanhassen
What people in Chanhassen ask us about this work. If yours is not covered, call and ask.
How long should a TPO roof last on a Chanhassen commercial building?
It depends on thickness, foot traffic and hail. A thicker sheet over a solid, dry insulation layer will run a long service life here, while a thin sheet on a roof with heavy equipment traffic and repeat hail gets there sooner. Drainage matters as much as the membrane. Standing water shortens everything.
Does a white TPO roof really help with cooling in Minnesota?
Some, and it is worth being honest about how much. Our heating season is longer than our cooling season, so a reflective roof is not a large annual swing. Where it earns its keep is on a building with heavy air conditioning and a big open deck, and in keeping the membrane itself cooler, which slows aging.
Can you tell whether my roof was damaged in the August 2020 hail?
Often, yes. Golf ball hail leaves bruising and fractured seams on a membrane, and it dents the metal on curbs, caps and units, which is easier to read from the roof than from the parking lot. We walk it, photograph what we find and match it against the storm record logged in town.
