EPDM Roofs

EPDM, ethylene propylene diene monomer, is a synthetic rubber membrane that has been used on low-slope roofs for decades. It comes in wide sheets, stays flexible in freezing weather and is usually black, which is why people often just call it a rubber roof.

What sets EPDM apart

Unlike TPO and PVC, EPDM is a thermoset: it cannot be melted and welded. Seams are joined with seam tape and primer, and flashings use pressure-sensitive rubber pieces. The upside is that EPDM is tough, elastic and tolerant of movement and freeze-thaw cycles, and it can be installed in large sheets that leave fewer seams. The tradeoff is that those taped seams and edges are where an aging EPDM roof usually starts to leak.

Ballasted, adhered and fastened

On large commercial roofs, EPDM is sometimes laid loose and held down with a layer of river stone, called ballast, where the structure can carry the weight. More often it is fully adhered with bonding adhesive over insulation or a cover board, which is the usual method on residential and smaller commercial roofs. Mechanically fastened systems use plates and screws in the seams. Each method has its own wind and maintenance considerations, which an estimate explains for your building.

Color and heat

Standard EPDM is black, which absorbs sun and helps snow melt off sooner in winter but makes the roof hot in summer. White-surfaced EPDM is available where reflectivity matters, though many building owners who want a white roof choose TPO instead. Over unconditioned porches and garages, the black surface is rarely a concern.

Where EPDM meets the edge

EPDM is turned over the roof edge and sealed under metal edging, or terminated at a gutter edge strip that feeds directly into the gutter. Over the years, the membrane can shrink slightly and pull at its edges and corners, a classic sign of an older EPDM roof. Keeping the edge metal tight and the gutter clear keeps water from working back under the sheet.

We have used NJ Gutters for all of our gutter work. It does take some time to get on their busy schedule, but it is definitely worth the wait. They are the best. Whenever we ask trusted contractors (both our builder and roofer) for gutter work recommendations, they always say NJ Gutters. They are trusted by both excellent contractors and homeowners. NJ Gutters most recently installed gutter caps and we were a little hesitant to install them because we were worried about how they would look, but they are hardly noticeable and the result is great. Highly recommend NJ Gutters for all of your gutter work!

After 20 years, my gutters and downspouts were in dire need for repair. I did research sent out bids got several companies. NJ Gutter was the most responsive and price competitive of the four companies who responded. They performed a thorough site visit including getting access to my roof and inspecting all of the areas. They didn’t just suggest swapping in new materials but improving the “pitch” of some of my gutters, leaf guards and the size of the gutters/down spouts. The “repair” team was fantastic. They were courteous, thorough, diligent and maintained a clean work environment. They also pointed out some additional “damaged wood” that needed replacing. They gutters/downspouts look great. I would highly recommend using them for any gutter issues you might have.

Dealing with contractors is not one of my favorite things to do, but I felt compelled to write a review about my recent experience with NJ Gutter. Jimmy came out and handled everything like a true professional (don't see that these days too often). He inspected my home and made some awesome recommendations. I told him I was having the roof and siding done so he supplied color samples so I can have the trim color match the gutter color which came out great. Then he suggested we use "stone coated gutter cap" that looks like roof shingles and blends right into our new roof. He also corrected a water runoff problem I had on heavy downpour rains by suggesting a larger gutter & downspouts which again worked out great. The job was completed on time and as quoted with no nonsense. If it wasn't for his attention to detail and vast experience who knows what I would have wound up. After all who thought gutters could be this technically advanced? Thanks NJ Gutter Team! They did such a great job....I came back fr more. NJ Gutter just installed gutters and leaders on another home for me. And of course, another GREAT Job!

FAQ

Frequently asked questions

7 questions and answers in 4 topics: Pricing, Process, Warranty, Service area.

Pricing

How do I get a quote?

Call (888) 611-3987 or request a free estimate online. The office is open Monday–Friday 7:00 AM–5:00 PM; Saturday 9:00 AM–4:00 PM.

Process

How long does EPDM last?

EPDM often lasts 20 to 30 years and sometimes longer with good maintenance. Seams and flashings usually need attention before the sheet itself wears out.

Is EPDM the same as a rubber roof?

Yes. When homeowners say rubber roof, they almost always mean EPDM. Our rubber roofs page covers how it shows up on porches, additions and other parts of a house.

Can EPDM be coated?

Yes. An aging EPDM roof with dry insulation can often be cleaned, repaired and coated to extend its life. See roof coating for when that works.

What causes EPDM seams to fail?

Age, sun, ponding water and movement weaken the adhesive or tape at the overlap until the seam opens. Older roofs installed with liquid seam adhesive are especially prone to it.

Warranty

What warranty does New Jersey Gutter offer?

New Jersey Gutter backs its work with a workmanship warranty. It covers how the job was done: seams, hangers, pitch and fastening. Gutters, guards and other products also carry their manufacturer's material warranty. Your length and terms are written on your estimate and invoice.
