EPDM Membrane Rubber Roof

Why EPDM for Low-Slope Roofs

EPDM (ethylene propylene diene monomer) is a flexible “rubber” membrane built to handle Midwest temperature swings. It’s UV-resistant, long-lasting, and cost-effective for offices, warehouses, retail, and multi-family buildings. Expect reliable waterproofing, straightforward repairs, and solid lifecycle value.

• Long service life with proper care
• Performs in heat, cold, and high UV
• Budget-friendly versus many alternatives
  

Our Installation Approach

Based in Burbank, IL, Eddie’s Roofing & Exteriors, Inc. designs each EPDM system for your roof’s layout and budget.

• Attachment methods: fully adhered, mechanically fastened, or ballasted (site-appropriate)
• Insulation & taper: ISO boards and tapered layouts for positive drainage, fewer ponding areas
• Critical details: precision flashings at penetrations/curbs/parapets; edge metal, drains, scuppers, and overflows installed to manufacturer specs
• Upgrades & options: walkway pads at service paths; recover vs. tear-off when code and deck conditions allow

Need help choosing between EPDM, TPO, or modified bitumen? We’ll compare pros/cons during your inspection.

Details That Matter

We start with a free site inspection, moisture check, and photos. You’ll get a clear scope (recover vs. tear-off, insulation R-value, taper plan), scheduling that minimizes disruption, and clean, manufacturer-compliant installation. Already have EPDM? We handle leak tracing, seam/flash repairs, drainage improvements, and maintenance plans to extend service life.
