EPDM Roofing in Philadelphia & Surrounding Counties
Professional EPDM Rubber Roofing Installation, Repair & Replacement
EPDM (Ethylene Propylene Diene Monomer) is one of the most durable and reliable roofing systems available for flat and low-slope roofs. Known for its exceptional weather resistance, flexibility, and long service life, EPDM rubber roofing has become one of the most popular roofing choices for Philadelphia row homes, residential properties, apartment buildings, and commercial buildings.
At Roofworks, we specialize in EPDM roofing installation, roof replacement, roof repair, and preventative maintenance throughout Philadelphia and the surrounding communities. With more than 28 years of roofing experience, we install premium EPDM roofing systems that provide dependable waterproof protection and outstanding long-term value.
Whether you're replacing an aging flat roof or repairing an existing EPDM membrane, our experienced roofing professionals deliver honest recommendations, quality workmanship, and exceptional customer service.
Can an EPDM roof be repaired?
Yes. Many EPDM roofing problems—including punctures, seam separation, flashing issues, and leaks—can be repaired without replacing the entire roof.
Is EPDM better than modified bitumen?
Both are excellent flat roofing systems. EPDM offers exceptional flexibility and UV resistance, while modified bitumen provides multiple waterproofing layers and superior puncture resistance. The best choice depends on your property's needs and budget.
Is EPDM a good roofing system for Philadelphia homes?
Absolutely. EPDM performs exceptionally well in Philadelphia because it withstands heavy rain, snow, UV exposure, and freeze-thaw cycles while requiring relatively little maintenance.
How long does an EPDM roof last?
With professional installation and regular maintenance, an EPDM roofing system can often last 20 to 30 years or more.

What Is EPDM Roofing?
EPDM is a synthetic rubber roofing membrane specifically engineered for flat and low-slope roofs. Its flexibility allows it to expand and contract during Philadelphia's changing seasons without cracking or deteriorating.
Unlike many traditional roofing materials, EPDM offers excellent resistance to:
- UV rays
- Heavy rain
- Snow and ice
- Wind
- Ozone exposure
- Temperature fluctuations
- Ponding water
Because of its durability and low maintenance requirements, EPDM has become one of the most trusted flat roofing systems in the industry.
