If your flat or low-slope roof is leaking, cracked, or nearing the end of it’s lifespan, a rubber roof replacement can restore protection to your home or building for decades.

Our experienced roofing team provides professional inspections, honest recommendations, and expert rubber roof installation so you can protect your property with durable, low-maintenance roofing system.

What is a Rubber Roof?

A rubber roof is a roofing system made form EPDM (ethylene propylene diene monomer), a synthetic rubber membrane designed specifically for flat and low-slope roofs.

Rubber roofing is commonly installed on:

    • Residenital flat roofs
    • Home additions
    • Garages
    • Sun rooms
    • Porches
    • Commercial buildings
    • Low-slope structures

EPDM membranes create a seam-resistant waterproof barrier for buildings from standing water, snow, and harsh temperature changes.

Signs You Need a Rubber Roof Replacement

Rubber roofs are durable, but like any roofing system they eventually wear out. If you notice any of the following signs, it may be time to replace your rubber roof.

Common Rubber Roof Problems

Cracks or splitting

Over time rubber roofing can shrink and crack due to UV exposure and temperature fluctuations.

Persistent roof leaks

Leaks around seams, flashing, or penetrations often indicate membrane failure.

Bubbling or blistering

Trapped moisture can create bubbles under the membrane.

Loose seams

Older glue-down seams may separate and allow water to penetrate

Roof age over 30 years

Most EPDM roofs last 30+ years, depending on installation quality and maintenance.

If your roof shows these warning signs, scheduling a professional inspection can help determine whether repair or full replacement is the best option.

Benefits of Rubber Roof Replacement

Replacing an aging flat roof with a modern rubber roofing system offers several long-term advantages

Exceptional Durability

EPDM rubber roofing can withstand:

  • Heavy snow loads
  • Standing water
  • Extreme temperature swings
  • UV radiation
  • Hail and wind exposure

Long Lifespan

A professionally installed rubber roof can last 30+ years with proper maintenance.

Energy Efficiency

Rubber roofing membranes reflect heat and help stabilize indoor temperatures, which may reduce energy costs.

Low Maintenance

Unlike many roofing materials, EPDM membranes require minimal upkeep and can often be repaired easily if damaged.

Seamless Waterproof Protection

Rubber roofing systems create a watertight barrier that protects against one of the biggest threats to flat roofs: standing water infiltration.

We had a small leak in our sunroom and called the guys at Smart roofing for a quote on a potential repair/replacement. Joey came over to the house and after a thorough inspection said that he could replace the poorly installed old flashing but, it would cause damage to the siding of the house. He recommended a temporary repair to stop the leak and advised to have it permanently fixed when we replace the siding in the near future. He fixed it right away on the spot! What a class act! Old school service and genuinely wanted to help, not just make a quick buck. Great job, Joey!!

Outstanding experience! I needed a roofing quote after another company I contacted for a siding estimate told me that I also needed a new roof. Joey came out, thoroughly inspected everything, and informed me that my roof was actually in good working order. He took the time to address all of my concerns and never tried to sell me something I didn’t need. If you’re looking for an honest quote from a trustworthy company—with reviews that back up their performance—this is the place to go. When the time does come for a new roof, they’ll be the first company I call. Thanks again, Joey! Highly recommend!

Dale at smart roofing is awesome! He inspected the roof on a property we were looking to buy and was really knowledgeable. While doing that inspection, I told him we had a small amount of water coming in our current home and he came right over to take a look. All the other roofers we had were complete sales guys just trying to sell us a new roof for 30k+. Dale said some simple repairs would suffice and to save the $. He's working up an estimate for us. It felt like he was advising and consulting us rather than just trying to suck as much money out of us as possible like the 2 other companies we had come look at our roof. Not to mention, when he was here he said he's pretty sure he figured out why the water was coming in and just put a handful of screws in and some caulk around a vent. He did it on the spot and didn't charge us. Just a really down to earth good guy.

I am writing to share my appreciation for the excellent service we received recently. We had some flashing leaking on our chimney, and Dale went above and beyond to come to our house in an extremely timely manner. He went up on the roof, identified the exact problem, and fixed it immediately. Unlike the other contractors we had over, there was no guesswork involved. Smart Roofing will be handling all of our roofing needs from now on. I highly recommend their services to everyone.

Very responsive team, came to check our leaking skylight the same day when we contacted them late on a Friday, and Dale and team returned Sunday to start repairing the problem. Knowledgeable and helpful team and answered all our questions on other areas we were concerned with! Would absolutely recommend!

We discovered water damage on our ceiling, we were understandably concerned. Our roof had been installed six years ago, but the original roofing company was no longer in business, so we had no way to have the warranty honored. After seeing this company’s outstanding Google reviews, we decided to give them a call—and they absolutely lived up to their reputation. Dale returned our call within an hour and came to our home the very same day. He was honest, knowledgeable, and never pressured us. He took the time to explain the issue, gave us several options, and even shared ways we could potentially fix it ourselves. Since we’re much more comfortable staying on the ground than climbing onto a roof, we asked Dale to handle the repair. His pricing was more than fair and an incredible value. He completed the work the very next day and provided before-and-after photos so we could see exactly what had been repaired. It’s rare to find a company that genuinely makes you feel like they’re looking out for your best interests instead of trying to maximize the bill. We were so impressed with the quality of the service, honesty, responsiveness, and workmanship that we plan to use them again for some upcoming gutter work. We highly recommend this company to anyone looking for reliable, trustworthy, and reasonably priced roofing services!
