FLAT AND LOW-SLOPE ROOFING

What does it take to keep an EPDM roof watertight?

Three things: a correct installation, drainage that actually drains, and someone looking at the roof before a problem becomes a ceiling stain. EPDM is a single-ply rubber membrane and the workhorse of flat and low-slope roofs, on everything from warehouses and storefronts to home additions, porches, and garages. The membrane itself is proven. What fails is almost always a seam, a flashing, or a drain nobody has checked in years.

Flat roofs hide their problems. Poor drainage ponds water, ponded water finds the weakest seam, and the damage travels under the membrane where nobody sees it until it shows up inside the building. That is why we push inspections as hard as we push installations. Cobblestone is the most sought-after commercial roofing contractor in the market, approved by Carlisle, Versico, and Firestone/Elevate, and property owners across the Mohawk Valley have us on their roofs every season. The inspection is free. Waiting is what costs money.

I have had them out twice now to replace sections of my roof. Both times they did amazing work. They left the area clean when they were done, even taking extra care around all of the plants as to not damage anything. Great work and communication.

We just got a new roof with this company. Pete and Gina are fantastic. Their financing through Green Sky was quick and easy. Their workers worked really fast and did a great job, all the way to the end with great clean up. They were done in one day.

FREQUENTLY ASKED QUESTIONS

EPDM ROOFING QUESTIONS, ANSWERED

Straight answers to what homeowners and building owners ask us most. Still not sure about something? Call (315) 733-3106 and a real person will pick up.

How long does an EPDM roof last?

A well installed EPDM roof runs 20 to 30 years and often more. The membrane rarely fails on its own. Seams, flashings, and penetrations are what age, and a roof that gets inspected on a schedule outlasts an identical roof that does not by a wide margin.

Why is my flat roof leaking with no visible damage?

Because water on a flat roof travels. A pond over a slow drain works into a seam, runs under the membrane, and shows up inside the building far from where it got in. By the time there is a stain on the ceiling the water has usually been moving for months. That is the case for a free inspection before the season turns, not after the stain appears.

Do you service EPDM roofs you did not install?

All the time. Property owners, managers, and general contractors bring us onto existing roofs for inspections, repairs, and ongoing maintenance, and it is a large part of our commercial work. We assess what is up there, tell you what it needs and what it does not, and put it on a schedule.

Is EPDM right for a house?

For the flat parts, yes. Porch roofs, additions, dormers, and garage roofs with little to no pitch are exactly where EPDM belongs on a home, usually alongside shingles on the main roof. We install both on the same job so the whole roof is handled by one crew.

How often should a commercial flat roof be inspected?

Twice a year, spring and fall, plus after any storm that would make you check your own house. Clear drains, sound seams, and tight flashings are the whole game on a flat roof, and a twice-yearly look keeps every one of those a small fix instead of an interior repair. Our inspections are free.

Can EPDM be repaired or does it need replacement?

Most of the time it can be repaired. If the membrane is sound, seam work, patches, and new flashings buy years of service. Replacement is the honest answer when the membrane has shrunk or seams are failing across the whole roof, and we will show you which situation you have before we quote anything.
