Roof Replacement
Your Rubber Roof Replacement Contractor
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. At Smart Roofing and Sheet Metal Company, we specialize in replacing aging flat roofs with high-performance EPDM rubber roofing systems designed to resist water, UV damage, and extreme Midwest weather.
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.
