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 University Heights on commercial buildings and residential flat roofs.
In University Heights, our commercial roofing work centers on the Cedar Center area and similar properties — flat-roof systems (TPO, EPDM) and modified bitumen on retail, office, and small industrial buildings.
University Heights' housing stock is concentrated in 1920s-1950s, so most homes are now on their third or fourth roof — the original tongue-and-groove decking we find on tear-offs along Cedar Road and Warrensville Center is often warped at the eaves and needs partial sheathing replacement.
Steeper-pitched 1920s tudors near John Carroll have complex valley intersections that need careful step-flashing detail at every dormer transition.
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.
