With your quality of safety out of the way, the other main question for prospective customers is how much EPDM will cost. Where some roofing materials can be brutal on your bank account, though, EPDM is extremely cost-effective and one of the most affordable materials out there.

EPDM takes little effort to install, which translates to easy repairs or replacements in the future. That’s because EPDM is a single-ply membrane, meaning that it’s one layer of material that covers a large area and is spliced together in sections.

There are multiple methods of installation, so it can be done at most times during the year since there’s no need for welding, but the most common is a tape-like adhesive. It’s also fastened to the roof for extra security and protection in bad weather.

By being so easy to install and seamless, EPDM has benefits on your wallet in a few ways. A professional installation, which is always recommended, will take less time and labor, thereby costing less for the initial install and any maintenance down the road.

It also weighs less than many materials, so it’s not as difficult to get up to the roof for the work to begin. Another added benefit is that it works well with solar panels or green roofs, because the black material attracts sunlight and doesn’t reflect it away so you’ll get more energy for free.

However, the biggest way that EPDM can save you money is by being so resistant to weather, specifically rainfall and leaks. Water damage is one of the biggest causes of roofs to weaken or need replacing over time, so by preventing leaks and moisture EPDM can increase your roof’s life.

Overall, EPDM fits with any roof or surface with a low angle or none at all and provides a number of great benefits in the form of protection and resistance to elements. For a professional installation that will give those benefits to you, contact us today!
