Flat or Low-Slope Leaks

In addition, asphalt shingles fail below a 2/12 slope; rubber membrane sheds water where shingles can't.

Membrane Past Its Lifespan

As a result, ePDM and TPO typically run 20–30 years — older systems crack at seams, blister, and stain ceilings below.

Ponding After Pittsburgh Storms

For example, water pooling more than 48 hours accelerates membrane failure and softens flashing at drains.

Rooftop Penetration Leaks

In fact, hVAC curbs, vent stacks, and skylights need seamless membrane flashing — the most common leak source we find.

Frequently Asked Questions

What is EPDM rubber roofing?
EPDM (ethylene propylene diene monomer) is a single-ply synthetic rubber membrane engineered for flat and low-slope roofs. In fact, it's UV-stable, flexible through Pittsburgh's freeze-thaw cycles, and typically installed in 45- or 60-mil thicknesses.
How long does a rubber roof last in Pittsburgh?
Properly installed EPDM and TPO membranes usually last 20–30 years in this climate. Similarly, lifespan depends on membrane thickness, quality of flashing, and how quickly punctures or ponding water are addressed after storms.
Is rubber roofing better than shingles for flat roofs?
Yes. Because of this, asphalt shingles need a minimum 2/12 slope to shed water — below that, water seeps through the joints. What’s more, rubber membranes are seamed or heat-welded, so they're the standard for flat and low-slope roofs.
Can rubber roofing be installed in Pittsburgh winter?
Yes, with the right adhesive system. In particular, ePDM can be mechanically fastened or ballasted year-round; fully adhered installs need above-freezing temperatures for the adhesive to cure. In addition, we schedule around the weather so seams cure correctly.

More Questions Homeowners Ask

How much does rubber roofing cost?
Pricing depends on square footage, membrane type (EPDM vs TPO), thickness (45- vs 60-mil), tear-off requirements, and roof complexity. As a result, every project gets a written on-site quote — no phone estimates that change on install day.
Can you install a new rubber roof over the existing roof?
Sometimes. For example, if the substrate is sound and code allows a single recover layer, we can install a new membrane over old EPDM or TPO. In fact, if the deck is wet, damaged, or already carries a recover, tear-off is required. We confirm during inspection.
Do you repair existing rubber roofs, or only install new ones?
Both. Similarly, we handle seam repairs, puncture patches, flashing replacement, and pitch-pocket fixes on EPDM and TPO systems — including membranes installed by other contractors. Because of this, repairs get the same written scope as full installs.
Do you offer a warranty on rubber roofing work?
Yes. What’s more, every install comes with a written workmanship warranty in addition to the membrane manufacturer's warranty. In particular, specific terms and lengths are spelled out in your contract before work begins.
