EPDM Single Ply Roofing Services

EPDM is a synthetic rubber membrane commonly used for flat and low-slope commercial roofs. It comes in large rolls, either fully adhered, ballasted or mechanically attached. This single-layer system offers flexibility, strength, and weather resistance, all in one clean package.

You’ll find EPDM Single Ply roofing on large-scale buildings where performance matters—think stadiums, warehouses, distribution centers. We’ve got extensive experience working on high-profile, high-demand commercial and industrial projects. Our roofing teams are trained in precise installation methods that help prevent leaks, resist damage, and extend roof life.

We work with trusted manufacturers to source high-quality membranes—and we follow every standard set by ASTM and NRCA to ensure the job’s done right. Plus, we customize every system based on your location, climate, and business goals. No guesswork. Just smart planning and solid execution.

Pros and Cons of EPDM Single Ply Roofing Systems

EPDM has become one of the go-to materials in commercial roofing for good reason. It’s versatile, budget-friendly, and built to last. But, like anything, it’s not perfect. Here’s what you need to know to make an informed decision.

Benefits of EPDM Roofing

Energy Efficiency: Black EPDM absorbs heat (great for colder climates). White EPDM reflects sunlight (ideal for warmer regions). Either way, it helps control your energy use.
Cost-Effectiveness: EPDM systems are affordable to install, need less upkeep, and deliver excellent long-term value.
Environmental Friendliness: According to the ERA 2024 Sustainability Report, EPDM membranes are recyclable and contribute to green building practices.
Low Maintenance: A few inspections and minor touch-ups here and there are usually all it takes to keep your system running smoothly.

Limitations of EPDM Roofs

Puncture Susceptibility: EPDM can be vulnerable to sharp objects. We offer reinforced options and protective solutions to help with foot traffic and equipment.
Limited Aesthetics: Colors are typically black or white. But we can walk you through coating and customization options that align with your aesthetic.
Seam Adhesion: Seams can be failure points—but our team uses the best-in-class adhesives and seam technologies to ensure tight bonds.
Chemical Resistance: Not all chemicals play nice with EPDM. We’ll assess your facility’s needs to find the safest solution.
Installation Conditions: Cold or wet conditions can complicate installs. That’s why we plan installs with weather windows in mind—so your project stays on track.
