How the new EPDM membrane goes on
The attachment method depends on the roof, and we choose it after inspecting yours.
-
Fully adheredBonded to the deck, suited to brownstone and walk-up roofs.
-
Mechanically attachedFastened at the seams, common on larger mixed-use roofs.
-
BallastedHeld by stone, for roofs that can carry the weight.
Seams are joined with seam tape and splices. If you are weighing another single-ply option, see TPO as the other choice.

Signs it is time to replace, not patch
A patch buys time only while the membrane still has life. These signs say it does not:
- Cracked or shrinking membrane
- Seams that keep failing
- Leaks that return after repair
- Ponding water that stays for days
- Blistering across the surface
When the roof is otherwise sound, repairing a leak first is the honest call. For the numbers, see what repair costs compared to replacing.

EPDM replacement FAQ
01How long does an EPDM replacement take?
A typical Brooklyn flat roof takes a few days, depending on size and deck condition. Weather and access can add time, and we tell you the schedule before we start.
02How long does a new EPDM roof last?
A properly installed EPDM roof commonly lasts decades. Good flashing, clear drains and periodic inspection help it reach the long end of that range.
03Can new EPDM go over the old roof?
Sometimes, but only when the old roof is dry and sound. Wet insulation or a damaged deck needs a full tear-off, and we confirm which applies during the inspection.
