Rubber roofing
The right roof for the flat parts
Shingles and metal need pitch to shed water. On the flat or low-slope parts of a house (additions, porches, garages), we recommend EPDM rubber roofing.
An EPDM roof creates a single, watertight membrane that stands up to standing water and temperature swings, which helps prevent the chronic leaks flat roofs are known for. It stays flexible through freeze-thaw, and it’s among the energy-efficient roofing options we offer.
What goes on your roof
Six layers, top to bottom
Most flat-roof leaks start at the edges and seams, not in the middle of the membrane.
01
Edge metal & termination bar
Clamps the membrane at the roof edge and against walls, so wind can’t get underneath it.
Edges
02
EPDM rubber membrane
One continuous sheet wherever the roof allows: a single, watertight layer.
Weather
03
Seam tape & flashings
Pipe boots, corners and seam tape at every penetration and joint.
Critical
04
Bonding adhesive
Bonds the membrane to the board below.
Bond
05
Cover board or tapered insulation
A smooth, firm base, tapered where needed so water runs off instead of pooling.
Drainage
06
Roof deck
Inspected before anything new goes on. Damaged decking is repaired where needed.

Choosing a membrane
What a flat roof can be made of
We install EPDM. Here’s how it compares to the alternatives you may be quoted for.
| Membrane | Typical life | Seams | Best suited to | Relative cost |
|---|---|---|---|---|
| EPDM rubber, 60-mil | 25–30 yrs | Few or none on small roofs | Porches, additions, garages | $$ |
| EPDM rubber, 45-mil | 20–25 yrs | Few or none on small roofs | Budget-sensitive small roofs | $ |
| Modified bitumen | 15–20 yrs | Overlapped every roll width | Matching older flat roofs | $$ |
Pricing
What rubber roofing work starts at
New EPDM roofs are quoted per job. Repairs have real starting prices, and the final figure comes in writing after the inspection.
| Service | What it covers | Starting at |
|---|---|---|
| EPDM rubber roof replacement | A new single-membrane roof for your flat or low-slope area. Quoted after a free on-site inspection, because area, edges and drainage decide the price. | Freeestimate |
| Leak Detection and Repair | Leaks traced to the true source (lifted seams, failed flashings, punctures, edge detail) and repaired. | $150from |
| Emergency Roof Repair | For when the membrane is torn or peeled back and water is coming in. We stop the active leak first. | $200from |
| Storm Damage Roof Repair | Wind-peeled edges, blown-off flashings, and tree or hail damage, secured quickly and then permanently repaired. | $350from |
Steep or two-story access is quoted individually.
Where it fits
The flat roofs on a house
If water sits on it for more than a day after rain, it needs a membrane, not shingles.
Porch & patio roofs
Low front and back porch roofs where shingles won't shed water fast enough.
Additions & sunrooms
Rear additions and sunrooms built with a flat or nearly flat roof.
Garages & carports
Flat-roofed attached garages, carports and workshops.
Dormers & bays
Low-slope dormer tops and bay-window roofs tucked into a pitched roof.
Questions
Rubber roofing questions
We quote EPDM roofs per job after a free on-site inspection. The area, the edge detail, the number of penetrations and whether the roof needs re-pitching for drainage all change the price. Repairs we price up front: leak detection from $150, emergency repair from $200 and storm damage from $350.
A properly installed 60-mil EPDM roof typically lasts 25–30 years. The membrane itself rarely fails first; edges, seams and flashings do, which is why they get the most attention.
Yes. Our EPDM rubber roofing options include energy-efficient materials that can reduce heat gain and lower utility costs.
For occasional access, yes, such as clearing a drain or reaching a window. It isn’t a deck surface, though.
Yes. Standing water long after rain shortens any flat roof’s life and finds every weak seam. We look at fixing the drainage itself, not just laying new membrane on top.
Sometimes, but covering an old roof can trap moisture and hide a soft deck. We inspect first and tell you honestly whether an overlay is sound or the old roof needs to come off.
