EPDM Roofing Omaha
A Rubber Roof That's Built for the Long Haul
EPDM roofing is a popular choice for low-slope and flat commercial roofs, and there’s a reason it keeps showing up on everything from retail buildings to apartment complexes. The rubber membrane is durable, flexible, and designed to handle sun, temperature changes, and Omaha weather. We install, repair, and maintain EPDM roofing systems for commercial properties throughout the Omaha area.
4,000+ Projects Completed
Summit Exteriors has completed approximately 4,000 roofing and exterior projects. That experience gives our team plenty of familiarity with commercial roofing systems, repairs, replacements, and the details that affect long-term performance.
14 Years in the Industry
Jonathan brings approximately 14 years of roofing and construction experience to the company. That experience helps us approach EPDM installation and repairs with an understanding of how the entire roof needs to work together.
We Work With the Existing Roof
Every commercial roof has its own story. We'll look at the existing membrane, roof structure, drainage, seams, and other components before recommending an EPDM system or repair.
Installation Matters
EPDM is durable, but the membrane still needs to be installed correctly. We'll use the appropriate installation method for the project, whether that's a fully adhered or mechanically fastened system.

What Is EPDM Roofing?
EPDM stands for ethylene propylene diene terpolymer, but many just call it rubber roofing. It’s a single-ply membrane commonly used on flat and low-slope commercial roofs.
The material is known for its flexibility and resistance to weather, UV exposure, and temperature changes. With proper installation and maintenance, an EPDM roofing system can provide long-term protection for commercial buildings.
EPDM for Omaha's Weather
Omaha roofs have to deal with plenty of temperature swings throughout the year. EPDM’s flexibility allows the membrane to handle expansion and contraction, while its resistance to UV exposure helps protect it from ongoing sun damage.
Proper installation, drainage, and maintenance still matter. We’ll look at those factors when evaluating your roof so the membrane has the best chance of delivering the long-term performance you’re looking for.

FAQ
What is EPDM roofing?
EPDM is a synthetic rubber roofing membrane made from ethylene propylene diene terpolymer. It’s commonly used on flat and low-slope commercial roofs because of its flexibility, durability, and resistance to weather and UV exposure.
Is EPDM a good choice for Omaha's weather?
EPDM can be a strong option for Omaha commercial properties. The membrane handles temperature changes, sun exposure, rain, and other weather conditions well when the roofing system is properly installed and maintained.
How long does an EPDM roof last?
A well-installed and properly maintained EPDM roofing system can provide many years of service. Its lifespan depends on factors such as installation quality, maintenance, weather exposure, drainage, and the condition of the roof structure.
What is the difference between fully adhered and mechanically fastened EPDM?
A fully adhered system bonds the EPDM membrane to the roof substrate, while a mechanically fastened system uses fasteners to secure the membrane. We’ll consider the property and existing roof when determining which installation method makes sense.
Can EPDM roofing be repaired?
Yes. EPDM roofs can often be repaired when the damage is limited to certain areas. We’ll inspect the membrane, seams, flashing, and other components to determine whether a repair or larger project is needed.
Is EPDM more energy efficient than other roofing systems?
EPDM can contribute to energy efficiency, particularly when a reflective membrane or appropriate insulation is part of the roofing system. Energy costs also depend on the building, insulation, HVAC system, roof design, and other factors.
Is EPDM only used on commercial buildings?
EPDM is especially common on commercial and industrial properties, including retail buildings and apartment complexes. It’s also used on some residential low-slope roofs, depending on the property’s design.
How does EPDM compare with TPO roofing?
Both are single-ply roofing systems used on low-slope and flat roofs, but they have different materials and performance characteristics. We’ll help you compare EPDM, TPO, and other commercial roofing systems based on your property’s needs.
Do you install EPDM roofing in Omaha?
Yes. Summit Exteriors provides EPDM roofing installation, repair, replacement, and maintenance for commercial properties in Omaha and nearby areas.
Don't Pick a Roof by Brochure
EPDM has plenty going for it, but the best roofing system depends on what it's actually being asked to do. We'll consider the building, existing roof, drainage, installation method, and long-term plans before recommending an approach. You get a roofing decision based on the property in front of us, not a one-size-fits-all answer.
