Stuart Business Got a Long-Term Roofing Solution

A Fresh Start for a Failing Roof in Stuart, FL

This large commercial building in Stuart, Florida, tucked between industrial lots and pine trees, was dealing with serious roofing issues. The old roof had seen better days. Over time, the seams were starting to fail, there were signs of water intrusion, and energy bills were creeping up. Business owners inside were worried—leaks were starting to show near HVAC systems and along the interior walls. It was clear this flat roof needed more than a patch job.

The property manager reached out to Rhino Roofs after a neighbor recommended us. Turns out—we had just finished a metal roof install two buildings down. One phone call, and we were on-site for a free inspection the very next morning.

What We Found:

After a full roof inspection, our team confirmed the issues:

• The old roofing membrane was cracking and brittle
• Ponding water in several areas
• Poor drainage design around the central elevation
• Failing seams and patch jobs that just weren’t holding up
• HVAC units with compromised curbs that risked further leakage

This was no time for a temporary fix. The building needed a durable, energy-efficient, hurricane-resistant solution that could last decades—not years.

The Rhino Roofs Solution: TPO Done Right

We recommended a full tear-off and replacement with a white TPO (Thermoplastic Polyolefin) roofing system—a top performer for flat commercial roofs in Florida’s intense climate. TPO reflects sunlight, resists algae, and holds up under heavy rain and wind. And in a place like Stuart, where storms roll in fast? That’s what you want overhead.

Here’s what we did:

• Removed the failing system down to the deck
• Repaired and reinforced soft decking areas
• Installed new tapered insulation for proper drainage
• Fully adhered white TPO membrane
• Sealed all HVAC curbs, penetrations, and parapet edges
• Custom-fabricated edge metal on-site for a perfect fit

The Result?

A sleek, watertight, white rooftop system that reflects Florida’s brutal sun and keeps energy costs down. It’s clean, professional, and built to withstand anything the Treasure Coast throws at it—from summer heat waves to hurricane-force winds.

From start to finish, the Rhino Roofs crew kept the business owners informed, kept the site clean, and got the job done with zero interruptions to tenants or operations.

Commercial roofs like this one aren’t just structures—they’re protection for every business beneath them. And we take that seriously. At Rhino Roofs, we don’t believe in band-aid repairs. We believe in long-term protection, expert craftsmanship, and showing up when we say we will.
