Rubber Roofing Installation

What This Service Involves

Rubber roofing covers both single-ply EPDM membranes for low-slope areas and molded rubber shingles made from recycled polymers for sloped roofs. The material stays flexible in the cold, damp conditions typical of the Puget Sound region, which helps it resist the cracking and splitting that stiffer roofing can develop over years of freeze-thaw cycling. For flat and low-slope sections, our crews fully adhere or mechanically fasten the membrane and heat-weld or seam-tape the joints into a continuous waterproof surface. On pitched roofs, recycled rubber shingles deliver a slate-like profile with excellent impact resistance, making rubber a versatile, eco-conscious choice for Northwest homes and outbuildings.

Benefits

Stays flexible in cold, wet conditions and resists cracking over time; seamless membrane or interlocking shingles create a dependable moisture barrier; many products use recycled content for an eco-friendly footprint; strong impact resistance protects against debris and hail; low-maintenance surface that stands up to standing water on low-slope roofs

Our Process

1) Evaluate the roof slope and deck to select membrane or rubber shingle system; 2) Prepare the substrate and install appropriate underlayment or insulation board; 3) Adhere or fasten the rubber material and seal all seams, laps, and penetrations; 4) Detail edge metal and flashings, then water-test and inspect the finished roof

What Affects the Cost

Roof size and whether the area is low-slope or pitched; choice between EPDM membrane and molded rubber shingles; substrate prep, insulation, and any deck repairs; number and complexity of penetrations and edges; building height and equipment access for the crew

Best Time of Year

Warm, dry days improve adhesive bonding and seam welding, so late spring through early fall is preferred, though we schedule dry-weather windows when repairs can't wait.
