Who uses it

Typical EPDM Roofing projects

Commercial Buildings

EPDM roofing is well suited for commercial and industrial buildings with flat or low-slope roofs, providing a durable membrane that resists weather and mechanical wear. It offers a continuous waterproof surface that can last 20 to 30 years with proper maintenance and care.

Residential Additions

Flat-roofed residential additions, porches, or garages benefit from EPDM’s waterproof membrane and ease of patching without full roof replacement. Its bonded seams help prevent leaks, making it a practical choice for long-lasting protection on low-slope roofs.

Rooftop Equipment

EPDM membranes accommodate rooftop equipment by ensuring continuous waterproofing with bonded seams, reducing potential leak points around penetrations. This membrane type also tolerates foot traffic and rooftop activities better than some other flat roofing options.

Roof Repairs

EPDM roofing can be patched in sections, making it a practical option for repairing flat roofs with localized damage without major tear-off. This reduces disruption and extends the roof’s service life when minor issues occur.

Insurance

Does insurance cover this work?

Insurance rarely applies to planned EPDM roofing installations. Storm damage to roofs follows a specific claim path involving inspection and documentation.

Simple process

How it works

EPDM roofing installation involves preparing the roof deck, applying the membrane, and sealing seams to ensure a continuous waterproof barrier.

Surface Preparation

The roof deck is cleaned and repaired as needed to create a smooth, stable base for the EPDM membrane installation.
Membrane Installation

Large sheets of EPDM rubber are laid out and adhered to the roof deck, ensuring proper alignment and coverage of the entire surface.
Seam Bonding

Seams between EPDM sheets are carefully bonded using adhesives to create a continuous, watertight membrane that resists leaks and ponding water.

FAQ

EPDM Roofing questions

What is the typical service life of an EPDM roof?

Can EPDM roofing be repaired if damaged?

Yes, EPDM roofs can be patched in sections without removing the entire membrane. Repairs involve bonding new material over damaged areas to restore waterproofing and can be performed without full roof replacement, saving time and reducing cost.

Is EPDM roofing suitable for residential use?

EPDM roofing is suitable for residential low-slope or flat-roof additions, garages, and porches, providing a durable and waterproof membrane. It offers a practical solution for protecting these areas against water intrusion and weather exposure.

Does EPDM roofing require special permits?

Most full roof replacements or re-roofs require permits and inspections as per local building codes. Our team manages permits and coordinates inspections to ensure full compliance with regulations and standards.

How do you temporarily cover a damaged roof?

To temporarily cover a damaged roof, first document the damage with photos from the ground and attic. Then, use a tarp to cover openings or divert leaks, securing it well to prevent further water intrusion. Keep receipts for any materials used. Avoid walking on the damaged roof to prevent injury or additional damage. Contact a roofer for a professional inspection before filing an insurance claim to ensure the damage is accurately assessed and repaired.

Will homeowners insurance cover roof repair?

Homeowners insurance may cover roof repair if damage results from a covered event like a storm. Document the damage with photos, stop further damage with tarps, and keep receipts. Contact your insurer promptly to report the loss and understand coverage and deductibles. A roof inspection and estimate help the adjuster assess the claim. Costs depend on roof size, pitch, material, tear-off needs, decking repairs, access, permits, and insurance terms. An accurate quote requires an inspection.
