Why Rubber Roofing Is a Smart Choice

Rubber roofing—most commonly EPDM (ethylene propylene diene monomer)—is a popular flat roofing material known for its flexibility, resilience, and affordability.

Here’s why it’s the go-to solution for flat and low-slope roofs:

  • Seamless Waterproofing: Large sheets reduce seams and eliminate common leak points.

  • UV & Ozone Resistance: EPDM resists cracking and fading, even in harsh sun exposure.

  • Flexible in All Temperatures: Performs reliably in extreme heat and cold, without becoming brittle.

  • Long Service Life: A properly installed EPDM roof can last 20–30 years or more with minimal maintenance.

  • Environmentally Friendly: Rubber roofs are recyclable, and some even reflect heat to improve energy efficiency.

Rubber roofing is ideal for garages, additions, porches, commercial buildings, and other low-slope applications where other roofing types may fail.

Our Complete Rubber Roofing Services

Dakota Roofing & Gutters offers full-service rubber roofing solutions using proven EPDM systems and installation methods.

1. Rubber Roof Installation

We install new EPDM rubber roofs for both residential and commercial clients. Using precision sealing and proper drainage design, we ensure long-lasting performance from day one.

2. Rubber Roof Replacement

If your existing flat roof has reached the end of its lifespan or is failing due to poor installation, we provide complete tear-off and replacement services using updated membrane technology and insulation.

3. Rubber Roof Repair

From punctures and shrinkage to seam failures or flashing leaks, we handle targeted rubber roof repairs that restore waterproofing without requiring full replacement.

4. Emergency Leak Repairs

EPDM roofs can leak due to weather damage or installation errors. We offer fast response to patch and seal urgent leaks before further damage occurs.

5. Preventive Maintenance & Coating Options

We provide routine inspections, resealing, and reflective coatings to extend your rubber roof’s life and improve energy efficiency.

Common Rubber Roof Problems We Fix

Rubber roofs are durable, but they can fail if installed incorrectly or left unmaintained. Our team routinely addresses:

  • Punctures from falling debris, HVAC equipment, or foot traffic

  • Loose seams or flashing around penetrations

  • Shrinkage due to aging membranes

  • Water pooling due to improper slope or drainage

  • UV damage and surface cracking

  • Interior leaks, mold, or ceiling damage from unnoticed roof breaches

Our inspections are detailed and solutions are always tailored to the root cause, not just the symptom.

Our Rubber Roofing Installation Process

Every Dakota Roofing & Gutters rubber roof project follows a disciplined workflow for performance and durability:

Step 1: Initial Roof Inspection

We assess the condition of your existing flat roof (or new project plans) to determine needs, structure compatibility, and drainage strategy.

Step 2: Quote & Material Recommendation

You’ll receive a detailed quote and guidance on membrane type (fully adhered, mechanically fastened, or ballasted), insulation options, and upgrades like coatings or drainage enhancements.

Step 3: Old Roof Removal & Substrate Prep

If applicable, we remove the old membrane, inspect decking, and install proper insulation and vapor barriers to prepare the surface.

Step 4: Rubber Roof Installation

We install your EPDM membrane with precision: seams are sealed with industry-approved adhesives or seam tapes, penetrations are flashed properly, and drainage is optimised.

Step 5: Final Inspection & Jobsite Cleanup

We perform a full walkthrough and water-shedding test to confirm performance, followed by thorough cleanup of the job site.

Rubber Roofing FAQs

Q1. How long does a rubber roof last?
A properly installed EPDM rubber roof typically lasts 20–30 years, especially with proper maintenance and drainage.

Q2. What causes rubber roof leaks?
Common causes include punctures, open seams, flashing issues, or pooling water from poor drainage design.

Q3. Can you repair a rubber roof or does it need full replacement?
Many issues are repairable. We’ll inspect the membrane and determine if targeted repairs or a full replacement is more cost-effective.

Q4. Is rubber roofing good for residential homes?
Yes — it’s commonly used on home additions, porches, and garages. It’s ideal for any flat or low-slope surface where shingles would fail.

Q5. Is EPDM better than TPO or PVC?
EPDM is more flexible and cost-effective, while TPO and PVC offer better heat reflection. We can help you compare based on your goals and budget.

Most roof installations take 1 to 3 days, depending on the size, materials, and weather. We always work efficiently without compromising quality or safety.

We use only premium GAF-certified materials, known for their durability, weather resistance, and great warranty coverage. We’ll help you choose the right one for your home and budget.
