Commercial TPO Cooler Roof Replacement and Metal Roof Tie-In Repair in Phoenix, Arizona

This Phoenix, Arizona project focused on restoring a commercial roofing system at a restaurant property where the walk-in cooler roof and adjacent metal roof sections needed targeted replacement and repair. The work addressed deteriorated TPO roofing over the cooler area while also improving the tie-ins and seam integrity on the east and west metal roof sections so the full assembly could perform more reliably.

Project At-a-Glance

• Property type: Commercial restaurant
• Project type: TPO roof replacement and metal roof tie-in repair
• Roofing systems: TPO roof over walk-in cooler and metal roofing on east and west sides
• Scope highlights: Tear-off of rotten TPO, new spray foam, acrylic coating system, seam sealing, fastener checks, and tie-in sealing
• City: Phoenix, Arizona
• Warranty: 5-year warranty on the coated cooler roof area and 2-year warranty on the metal roof repair areas

Challenge: Deteriorated cooler roof materials and vulnerable roof transitions

The main challenge on this Phoenix project was the condition of the existing roofing over the walk-in cooler. The documented scope specifically called for tearing off rotten TPO, showing that the roof had deteriorated beyond a simple maintenance repair.

The photo set also shows the mix of roofing conditions involved, including a low-slope roof section, parapet edges, adjacent metal roofing, and transition areas where multiple roof components had to work together. On commercial properties like this, those tie-in points and perimeter details are often where leaks and premature wear begin if they are not properly restored.

Solution: Rebuild the cooler roof and reinforce adjoining metal roof connections

Sunvek’s solution combined replacement work on the cooler roof with repair-focused improvements on the surrounding metal roof areas. The scope began with removing the failed TPO and coping, then rebuilding the roof area with spray-applied foam and an elastomeric acrylic coating system designed to create a renewed protective surface.

• Tore off rotten TPO roofing and disposed of failed materials
• Removed coping as part of the restoration scope
• Spray applied 1 inch of foam to the deck
• Applied elastomeric acrylic base coat
• Applied elastomeric acrylic top coat at the documented coverage rate
• Resealed seams on the east and west metal roof sections
• Checked fasteners on the metal roofing
• Checked and sealed the tie-in between the metal roof and coated roof system

This approach allowed the project to address both the visibly failed roof section and the surrounding transition details that affect long-term waterproofing. Instead of treating each area in isolation, the work improved the roof system as a connected assembly.

Result: Renewed protection for a high-exposure commercial roof in Phoenix

The completed project gave the property a refreshed roof surface over the walk-in cooler and stronger tie-ins at the adjoining metal roof areas. Replacing rotten roofing materials and reinforcing seams, fasteners, and transition points helps improve weather resistance, durability, and overall protection for a commercial building exposed to intense Phoenix sun and regular rooftop wear.

Just as importantly, the work gave the property owner greater confidence in a roof system that now has better continuity across different roof sections. For a busy commercial location, that means less concern about vulnerable details and more peace of mind that the roof is better prepared to protect the building.

Trust & Proof: Documented cooler roof replacement, coated system installation, and before-and-after photos

The project documents confirm this Phoenix, Arizona project included replacement of rotten TPO over the walk-in cooler, removal of coping, installation of 1 inch of spray foam, and application of elastomeric acrylic base and top coats. They also confirm repair work on the east and west metal roof sections, including resealing seams, checking fasteners, and sealing the tie-in to the coated roof system.

The uploaded photos support that scope by showing the existing roof conditions, the metal roof and parapet areas, the in-progress coating and foam application, and the completed bright white finished roof surface. The project also included a 5-year warranty for the cooler roof replacement scope and a 2-year warranty for the metal roof east and west side repairs. No manufacturer certification or customer testimonial was included in the materials provided, so those details are not included here.
