What is EPDM (ethylene propylene diene monomer) rubber?
EPDM is a synthetic rubber single-ply membrane with a long track record on low-slope roofs. Seams are joined with seam tape and adhesives rather than heat welding. EPDM stays flexible across temperature swings and is straightforward to repair.
Why owners choose EPDM
- Long field history on low-slope commercial roofs
- Flexible rubber membrane that tolerates thermal movement
- Fully adhered, mechanically attached or ballasted systems
- Repairable and well suited to phased re-roof budgets
Best fit
Older commercial buildings, churches, schools and owners replacing or repairing existing rubber roofs.
EPDM on the Gulf Coast
In the Coastal Bend, wind uplift and salt air matter as much as the membrane itself. We focus on perimeter and corner attachment, corrosion-resistant fasteners, edge metal and flashing details — where most coastal roof failures begin.
A proven membrane, installed right
EPDM has decades of history on low-slope roofs. It stays flexible through heat and cold, and repairs or phased replacements are straightforward.
Frequently asked questions
How long does a EPDM roof last?
Service life depends on membrane thickness, installation quality, attachment method and maintenance. We'll give you a realistic expectation for your building during the estimate.
Can EPDM be installed over my existing roof?
Sometimes. If the existing roof and insulation are dry and code allows a recover, it can save tear-off costs. We check moisture before recommending it.
Do you repair existing EPDM roofs?
Yes — we repair seams, flashings, punctures and storm damage on EPDM roofs, whoever installed them.
