Just wanted to share a quick win I had recently. Our old flat roof was leaking like crazy every time it rained, and honestly, I was dreading the cost of replacing it. Did some digging around online, talked to a few local roofers, and ended up going with a TPO membrane roof. Wasn't exactly cheap, but way less than I expected, and the install was surprisingly quick.
It's been about six months now, and we've had some pretty heavy storms roll through. Not a single leak or issue so far (knock on wood). Plus, our energy bills dropped noticeably this summer—guess the reflective surface really does help keep things cooler inside.
Anyway, I'm feeling pretty relieved and happy with how it turned out. Curious if anyone else here has had similar luck with membrane roofing? Maybe EPDM or PVC? Would love to hear your experiences or if you ran into any unexpected perks or issues along the way.

That's interesting, hadn't thought about the energy savings angle. I'm considering EPDM myself because I've heard it's durable and easy to patch if needed. Did you look into EPDM at all before choosing TPO? Curious if the reflective benefit is unique to TPO or if EPDM offers something similar...
