This was my first experience with roofing issues and dealing with companies and insurance. Cliffton came out and explained the entire process to me and guided me every step of the way. He was very responsive to my messages and always replied quickly. The project was at my parent’s home and I live across the country and couldn’t be there but his attention to detail and excellent communication made my parents very comfortable and relieved.He accommodated every request and was transparent about everything. The entire process from start to finish was done perfectly. Surprisingly the entire job was completed in a day. They picked up all of the debris and cleaned up impeccably after themselves. For anyone needing a roofing job done pain and stress free, I recommend Presidio without reservation.

I can’t say enough great things about this roofing company!! They went above and beyond to take care of all our needs and did such an excellent job on our roof and the other items that they fixed as well!! They answered any question we had and kept us informed and took care of all the insurance company paperwork and kept us informed on everything along the way.. We got scammed by another roofing company and Presidio roofing came in and took care of us and even gave us advise and told us what to watch out for in the future!! Just a great company to deal with!! I will always use this company -if I ever need more work done and will refer family and friends to them.. it’s so hard to find good trustworthy people anymore and this company was more than we could of asked for!!! Thank you Robbie and Jonathan and all the rest of the team for taking care of us!!Karrie S.

Kyle with Presido Roofing did a wonderful job inspecting my attic and roof for water damages. Found no damages to the roof but found potential leaks coming from the water softener hose in the attic at a connection point and recommended getting in contact with the installers of the water softener and getting that taken care of!!

PVC Roofing Benefits

In terms of Single Ply Roofing products, PVC is not as popular as TPO, mainly due to its higher price point. A PVC roof replacement will cost 10-25% more than a TPO membrane on the same roof. However, the higher price for a PVC roof is for a reason. Here are some of the advantages of a PVC Roof in San Antonio:

More Resistant to Chemicals

PVC roofs are more resistant to chemicals than TPO. PVC is a highly resistant material that can withstand exposure to a wide range of chemicals, including acids, oils, and greases. TPO, on the other hand, is more susceptible to chemical damage and may deteriorate more quickly in environments with high levels of chemical exposure. Therefore, on roofs above restaurants and certain manufacturing facilities, where these chemicals and greases do get onto the roof, a PVC membrane is the only viable option. It is safe to say that the roof above Carnitas Lonja or Buccees is going to be a PVC roof.

Longer Lifespan

PVC roofing membranes have a longer lifespan. PVC membranes have been in use for 25 years longer than TPO membranes, and in that time, they have proven to be extremely durable and long-lasting. TPO only became popular in the mid-90s so long-term data doesn’t exist for these roofs yet in relation to their lifespan, whereas there are PVC roofs on buildings now that have been there for 40+ years. Because of this PVC roofers in San Antonio have also had 25 years more time to master the installation of these roofs. Both products have great NDL warranty options but because PVC has been used so much longer it is a safer long-term bet than TPO.

More Resistant to UV Radiation

PVC roofing membranes have superior resistance to UV radiation. They have a higher concentration of UV stabilizers than TPO membranes, which means they are better able to withstand the damaging effects of the sun’s rays. In contrast, TPO membranes can become brittle and crack over time due to prolonged exposure to UV radiation.

Easier to Weld

Another advantage of PVC roofing membranes is that they are easier to weld than TPO membranes and thus have less risk of installation error. PVC membranes can be welded using a variety of techniques, including hot-air welding, solvent welding, and induction welding. TPO membranes, on the other hand, can only be welded using hot-air welding, which can be more difficult and time-consuming. This is like how some shingles have larger “nail zones” where nails can be driven, thus reducing the risk of installer error causing long term issues. While PVC may be easier to install it still requires a PVC Roofing Contractor in San Antonio, like us, that has the highest installation standards. GAF gives a great idea of how PVC roofs are adhered.

Cons of a PVC Roof

Cost

PVC roofs are more expensive than similar TPO and EPDM roofing options. In many cases a TPO roof and a PVC roof can be interchangeably used for a specific building, and thus a TPO roof is the best financial decision, however on some buildings a TPO roof will not work and you will need to pay the extra cost for a PVC roof.

Not A Green Product

PVC roofs are inherently not great for the environment. They are hard to recycle and when burned at landfills they release harmful toxins into the atmosphere called dioxins which can cause serious issues to humans. PVC membranes also contain phthalates and similar compounds that give them their pliability but are harsh chemicals that are not good for human exposure. The reality is that you are not going to eat your PVC roof, so the risk of these chemicals is minimum, but it is important to know that PVC roofs are not particularly great for human exposure.

Energy Efficiency

PVC roofing is not as energy efficient as other types of roofing materials. PVC roofing absorbs heat and can contribute to the “heat island” effect in urban areas, leading to higher energy costs and a less comfortable working environment for building occupants.
