What Triggers a Rubber Roof Replacement?
If you're seeing any of these signs, we’re ready to take a look and give you real feedback on what’s next.
Aging
A failing gutter system lets water pool where it shouldn’t. We look for dents, separation from the fascia, clogs, and missing brackets.
Tearing
This hidden layer keeps water from seeping into the home. We look for tears, bubbles, or areas where moisture has slipped through.
Ponding Water
We inspect all flashing—especially around chimneys, vents, and valleys. Storms can loosen or bend flashing, leading to leaks.
Seam Separation
A solid deck is what everything else depends on. We check for soft spots, warping, and rot beneath the shingles.
UV Damage
From the inside, we check for daylight coming through the roof, wet insulation, and signs of mold or water trails.
How We Install a Rubber Roof
Tear-Off of the Old Roofing
We start by removing every layer of old roofing material, right down to the deck. This lets us see what we’re working with and avoid trapping problems underneath.
Deck Inspection
Once the surface is clear, we check the roof deck for rot, soft spots, or structural damage.
Underlayment Preparation
Before the membrane goes on, we prep the surface with the appropriate base layers. This might include insulation boards, vapor barriers, or slip sheets.
Membrane Installation
We install EPDM or other rubber roofing membrane using one of three methods:
Fully Adhered – glued down across the entire surface
Ballasted – held in place with stone or pavers
Mechanically-Fastened – secured with fasteners and plates at seams
We’ll use the method that fits the roof layout, slope, and weather exposure.
Flashing Installation
We seal around every penetration—vents, pipes, HVAC units—with flashing designed to handle expansion and movement.
Edge Treatments
At the roof edges, we install termination bars, drip edges, and sealants to keep water from sneaking underneath. Every edge is finished to prevent future lifting or peeling.
