EPDM roofing in Metro Vancouver
EPDM rubber roofing for flat and low-slope roofs, installed and repaired.
EPDM is a synthetic rubber membrane supplied in large sheets, so there are few seams. It stays flexible in cold weather and is widely used on flat roofs. Seams and flashings are glued or taped, so careful workmanship at the details is key.
We install new EPDM roofs and repair existing ones, including punctures, seams and flashings.
Typical service life: 20–30 years
