A lot of business owners in Tulsa don’t think twice about their roof—until there’s a problem. That’s where EPDM comes in. It’s not fancy, but it works. You roll it out, seal it up, and it does what it’s supposed to do. Doesn’t care about heat. Doesn’t get brittle when it’s cold. Just stays put.
We’ve put down EPDM roofing on everything from back-office buildings to older warehouses with all kinds of quirks. Been at it over 20 years now. We work with good suppliers too—folks like Carlisle—so we know we’re using material that holds up. If you’re just trying to figure out what makes sense for your place, we’re always around to talk it through. No pressure.
Why Choose EPDM Roofing?
Flat roofs aren’t all the same, and neither are the materials that cover them. A lot of folks default to TPO or PVC, but EPDM deserves a real look—especially if you’re after something that’s low-maintenance and has a solid track record.
EPDM roofing isn’t new or fancy, but it works. It’s a thick rubber sheet that handles Tulsa’s heat, rain, and wild temperature swings without falling apart. You lay it down, seal it right, and it just stays put. It’s a favorite for large buildings where keeping costs reasonable matters. Might not reflect as much heat as the white membranes do, but with the right insulation underneath, most people won’t notice the difference in their energy bills.
Bottom line: the right roofing choice depends on what your building actually needs. EPDM might be the answer, or it might not—but we’re happy to walk through the options and help you make the call.

EPDM Roofing FAQs
What Does EPDM Stand For?
EPDM stands for Ethylene Propylene Diene Monomer, which is a type of synthetic rubber commonly used for flat and low-slope commercial roofing systems. If you are unsure of your slope, we can help!
Can EPDM Roofing Be Repaired?
Yes, one of the advantages of EPDM is that it can be easily repaired with patch kits or adhesive sealants, often without needing to replace large sections of the roof. That means lower costs for maintenance!
Is EPDM Environmentally Friendly?
EPDM is considered an eco-friendly roofing option because it is recyclable, and many manufacturers produce it with fewer harmful emissions compared to other roofing types.
Is EPDM Roofing Resistant to Leaks?
When properly installed, EPDM forms a watertight barrier with very few seams, which significantly reduces the risk of leaks—especially when compared to older multi-layer systems.
