What is EPDM Roofing?
EPDM (Ethylene Propylene Diene Monomer) is a highly durable synthetic rubber membrane widely used in commercial roofing applications. Known for its exceptional weather resistance and longevity, EPDM has been a reliable roofing solution for over 50 years.
This single-ply membrane is primarily composed of ethylene and propylene, derived from oil and natural gas. EPDM roofing is available in both black and white surfaces, with thicknesses typically ranging from 45 to 90 mils (1.1 to 2.3 mm).
At Pro Roofing Fix, we specialize in the installation, repair, and maintenance of EPDM roofing systems, providing commercial building owners with reliable, long-lasting protection against the elements.

Our EPDM Roofing Installation Process
We follow a comprehensive, systematic approach to ensure your EPDM roofing system is installed correctly and provides maximum performance and longevity.
Initial Consultation & Roof Assessment
We begin with a thorough assessment of your existing roof and building structure to determine the specific requirements for your EPDM roofing system. This includes evaluating drainage patterns, structural capacity, and identifying any existing issues.
Custom Design & Material Selection
Based on our assessment, we develop a customized EPDM roofing solution for your building. We'll help you select the appropriate membrane thickness (45, 60, or 90 mil), determine insulation requirements, and choose the best attachment method for your specific needs.
Roof Preparation
For replacement projects, we carefully remove existing roofing material and prepare the surface. For new construction, we ensure the roof deck is clean, dry, and properly prepared for EPDM installation. Any damaged decking is repaired or replaced at this stage.
Insulation Installation
We install high-quality insulation boards to provide energy efficiency and create a smooth, stable surface for the EPDM membrane. The insulation is mechanically fastened or adhered to the roof deck according to manufacturer specifications and building code requirements.
EPDM Membrane Installation
Our experienced technicians carefully position and roll out the EPDM membrane across your roof. The membrane is then secured using one of three main methods: fully adhered (glued down), mechanically fastened (secured with special plates and screws), or ballasted (held in place with stone or pavers).
Seam Bonding & Detailing
We carefully bond all seams using specialized adhesives or seam tape systems to create a watertight seal. Special attention is given to corners, penetrations, and transitions to ensure complete waterproofing and prevent future leaks.
Flashing & Edge Termination
We install proper flashing around all roof penetrations, such as vents, pipes, and HVAC units. Edge terminations are secured with appropriate metal edging or termination bars to prevent water infiltration at the roof perimeter.
Final Inspection & Quality Assurance
Upon completion, we conduct a thorough inspection of the entire roofing system to ensure everything meets our high standards and manufacturer specifications. We provide you with installation documentation, warranty information, and maintenance recommendations.
