What Does EPDM Roofing Cost?

EPDM typically runs $4 to $8 per square foot installed for residential projects, though exact pricing depends on roof size, deck condition, and whether tear-off of existing material is needed. Larger commercial projects often hit lower per-square-foot rates. We quote your specific situation after assessing the roof - no generic estimates that don't match reality.

Frequently Asked EPDM Questions

How long does EPDM roofing actually last?

With proper installation and basic maintenance, EPDM routinely lasts 20-30 years. Some systems exceed that under favorable conditions.

Is EPDM better than TPO?

They serve different priorities. EPDM costs less upfront and has a longer track record. TPO offers better heat reflection. Neither is universally superior - it depends on your building's needs.

Can EPDM be installed over existing roofing?

Sometimes. We evaluate the existing roof condition to determine if overlay is appropriate or if tear-off produces better long-term results.

How do you repair damage to EPDM?

Rubber patches bond easily to EPDM surfaces. Small punctures or seam issues are straightforward repairs that don't require full membrane replacement.

Does EPDM work on roofs with ponding water?

Better than many alternatives, yes. EPDM tolerates standing water, though addressing drainage issues remains ideal for long-term performance.

What maintenance does EPDM need?

Annual inspections to check seams, flashing, and penetrations. Clear debris from drains. Address small issues before they become big ones.
