EPDM (ethylene propylene diene monomer) is the proven workhorse of flat roofing — black rubber membrane, decades of track record, simple repair. Atlas Roofing installs EPDM in Shaker Heights on commercial buildings and residential flat roofs.
In Shaker Heights, our commercial roofing work centers on the Van Aken District area and similar properties — flat-roof systems (TPO, EPDM) and modified bitumen on retail, office, and small industrial buildings.
Shaker's strict architectural review (the 'Shaker Standard') requires careful materials selection — designer shingles in slate-look profiles or actual slate replacement are common requests, not standard architectural shingles.
Original slate, tile, and wood-shake roofs are still common and require specialty roofing knowledge — most general contractors aren't equipped for proper slate or tile work.
Typically 20-30 years with proper installation and minimal repairs. EPDM is one of the longest-track-record commercial membranes.
EPDM has 30+ years of proven field performance. TPO has better energy efficiency. Both are good options — depends on the building.
