Flexible Roofing That Holds Up Under Pressure

Rubber roofing is one of the most durable, weather-resistant, and cost-effective solutions for both residential and commercial flat or low-slope roofs. At Rio Roofers, we specialize in the installation, repair, and maintenance of rubber roof systems across the Rio Grande Valley, from Corpus Christi to McAllen, Edinburg, Harlingen, and beyond.

Rubber roofs, particularly EPDM (ethylene propylene diene monomer), are known for their long lifespan, UV resistance, and flexibility under extreme temperatures. If you're dealing with leaks, shrinkage, or aging membranes, our team offers precision service and high-grade materials that keep your property protected.

What Is a Rubber Roof System?

Rubber roofing refers mainly to EPDM membranes—a single-ply roofing material made from synthetic rubber designed for low-slope or flat roofs. It can be fully adhered, mechanically attached, or ballasted, and is applied in large sheets to minimize seams and water intrusion.

Key features of EPDM rubber roofs:

  • UV and ozone resistance
  • Flexibility in hot and cold weather
  • 20–30 year lifespan with proper maintenance
  • Low maintenance requirements
  • Lightweight yet durable
  • Typically black (can also come in white for reflective surfaces)

Rubber roofs are especially popular for commercial buildings, warehouses, outbuildings, and modern flat-roofed homes.

  • EPDM Roof Installation

    Seamless application using industry-standard adhesives or fasteners to ensure waterproof protection.

Frequently Asked Questions About Rubber Roofs

A properly installed EPDM roof can last 20 to 30 years, even under harsh sun and temperature swings. With regular maintenance and periodic recoating, some rubber roofs have even exceeded this lifespan.

Yes, in many cases. EPDM can be applied over existing flat roofs with appropriate prep, making it ideal for retrofits. This can save on removal costs and minimize disruption during installation.

Black EPDM absorbs heat, which can be a benefit in winter. White EPDM is also available for reflective cooling benefits in summer. For maximum energy efficiency in South Texas, we often recommend white or coated options.

Minimal—clean twice a year, inspect after major storms, and seal any seams or punctures. We offer low-cost preventive plans that include regular inspections and maintenance to extend your roof's lifespan.

TPO is more reflective; EPDM lasts longer and resists UV better. We'll help you choose based on slope, usage, and budget. In general, EPDM has a longer proven track record, while TPO excels in energy efficiency.
