Rooftop Paver Deck Over TPO — Englewood, CO

Project Overview

• Location: Englewood, CO
• Building Type: Residential
• Size: Approximately 600 sq ft
• Roofing System: Versico VersiWeld 60-mil TPO with Dinoflex NuVista 2.5” rubber pavers
• Duration: 5 Days
• Completed: July 2026
• Pavers: 141 Dinoflex NuVista 2.5”, Stone Beige 5L
• Manufacturer: Versico (membrane and cover board), Dinoflex (pavers)

Roof Condition

A homeowner in Englewood had a flat roof deck off the upper level that was no longer watertight and not usable as outdoor space. The existing membrane and underlayment had reached the end of their service life.

• Existing membrane no longer watertight
• Underlayment had reached end of service life
• Deck not usable as outdoor living space
• No walkable surface over the roof assembly

Evaluation & Approach

The existing membrane and underlayment were beyond repair. A complete tear-off and new Versico 60-mil TPO system with HD cover board provided the watertight foundation needed to support a walkable rubber paver surface.

Why This Approach

• Rubber pavers over TPO provide a usable rooftop patio without the weight of concrete
• Dinoflex NuVista pavers are slip-resistant and stay cooler underfoot than stone
• Individual pavers lift out for membrane inspection or repair
• HD cover board under the TPO protects the deck and keeps the paver surface level
• Versico 60-mil TPO is a 20-plus-year commercial-grade membrane
• Entire project completed in five days from tear-off through last paver

Scope of Work

1. Tear-Off and Deck Inspection: Removed existing membrane and underlayment down to the deck, inspected the substrate, and hauled all debris.
2. Cover Board Installation: Installed Versico VersiCore HD ½” high-density polyiso cover board to create a firm, uniform substrate that supports the paver load without point-loading the membrane.
3. TPO Membrane Installation: Installed Versico VersiWeld 60-mil scrim-reinforced TPO with heat-welded seams for a monolithic watertight assembly.
4. Flashing and Edge Metal: Installed 2” x 4” pre-painted metal drip edge at the gutter perimeter and black counter flashing fastened to the adjoining walls.
5. Paver Installation: Installed 141 Dinoflex NuVista 2.5” rubber pavers in Stone Beige 5L directly over the membrane, field-cutting pavers at the door threshold for clearance.
