What Is EPDM Roofing?
EPDM is a synthetic rubber roofing membrane used primarily on low-slope and flat commercial buildings. It’s been a staple in commercial roofing for decades thanks to its combination of durability, flexibility, and weather resistance.
Key Benefits of EPDM:
- Longevity: EPDM roofs can last 25–30 years or more with proper installation and care.
- Weather-Resistant: Excellent protection from UV exposure, hail, and temperature fluctuations.
- Cost-Effective: Affordable installation and repair compared to other flat roofing options.
- Low Maintenance: Minimal upkeep required; easy to patch when needed.
- Flexible Installation: Available in large sheets or rolls for fewer seams and faster coverage.
- Eco-Friendly: Often made from recycled materials and fully recyclable at end-of-life.
Whether you’re replacing an old flat roof or building a new commercial structure, EPDM offers a proven, budget-friendly option for year-round protection.

Our EPDM Roofing Installation Process
Reliable Roofing uses a streamlined, code-compliant process to ensure your EPDM system is installed to perform for decades. Every detail matters when it comes to flat roof performance and drainage.
1. Site Inspection and Project Planning
We begin with a full evaluation of your roof structure, slope, and drainage needs. If you’re considering a roof replacement, we’ll examine the current system and decking before making any recommendations.
2. Substrate Preparation
We remove the old roof materials, check for moisture issues, and repair the substrate to ensure a smooth and stable surface for EPDM application. We also verify any insulation or tapering needed to assist water flow.
3. Membrane Installation
We apply the EPDM membrane using either fully-adhered, mechanically-fastened, or ballasted techniques—based on your structure, climate conditions, and budget. Seams are sealed using manufacturer-approved adhesives or seam tape to prevent leaks.
4. Flashing & Detailing
We install flashing around HVAC units, drains, pipes, and roof penetrations. Proper detailing is critical for flat roofs—this is where many contractors cut corners. We don’t.
5. Final Review & Warranty Info
Once installed, we conduct a final walkthrough with your team and provide product warranty information. We also offer scheduled maintenance options if desired for long-term monitoring.
