Rubber Roofing
PROVEN FLAT ROOFING SYSTEMS FOR COMMERCIAL PROPERTIES ACROSS GEORGIA, ALABAMA & TENNESSEE
- FLEXIBLE. DURABLE. DECADES OF PROVEN PERFORMANCE.
A FLAT ROOFING SYSTEM WITH A LONG TRACK RECORD.
EPDM rubber roofing remains a trusted choice for flat and low-slope commercial roofs because it handles temperature swings, UV exposure, and long-term weather stress well. Its biggest weakness is rarely the membrane itself, but poor seam work, flashing, and edge termination. At Kross Roofing, we install and repair EPDM systems across Georgia, Alabama, and Tennessee with the experience needed to prevent those failures and protect your building for the long run with reliable workmanship backed by clear warranty coverage.

COMPLETE EPDM ROOFING SOLUTIONS
New EPDM Roof Installation
We install fully adhered, mechanically fastened, and ballasted EPDM systems depending on your building’s structure, load capacity, and drainage requirements. Every installation includes proper substrate preparation, insulation, membrane installation, and sealed termination edges throughout.
EPDM Roof Replacement
When an existing EPDM system has reached the end of its service life or sustained widespread damage, we manage the full replacement, removing the old membrane, inspecting the deck, addressing any substrate issues, and installing a new system to current specifications.
EPDM Roof Repair
Seam separations, membrane tears, flashing failures, and termination edge issues are the most common EPDM repair needs. We identify the source of failure, repair it using compatible EPDM materials and adhesives, and test the repair before leaving the site.
EPDM Seam & Lap Repair
Lapped seams that have lost adhesion or developed gaps are a leading source of EPDM leaks. We reseal or re-lap failing seams using EPDM-compatible adhesive and seam tape, restoring membrane integrity without replacing the full system.
EPDM Flashing & Penetration Repair
The flashing around HVAC units, pipe penetrations, drains, and parapet walls is where most EPDM leaks actually start. We remove failing flashing, clean the substrate, and install properly adhered EPDM flashing details that seal each penetration correctly.
EPDM Maintenance & Inspection Programs
Regular maintenance extends the life of an EPDM system and protects your warranty. We inspect seam and lap adhesion, flashing condition, drainage performance, and membrane surface, addressing minor issues before they develop into active leaks.
WHY BUSINESSES CHOOSE Kross Roofing
We Know Where EPDM Fails
The membrane rarely fails on its own. Seams, flashing details, and termination edges are where EPDM systems usually break down. We install every detail correctly the first time and inspect those areas closely on every maintenance visit.
Built for Temperature Extremes
EPDM stays flexible through cold snaps and heat waves, which matters in a region that sees both. A membrane that gets brittle in winter or soft in summer creates problems at the seams and edges. EPDM handles the full range.
Installation Documentation & Warranty
Every EPDM installation comes with written documentation covering the system specifications, attachment method, and warranty terms. Commercial property owners and managers need that paperwork for insurance, resale, and future maintenance reference.
Our Crew. Our Accountability.
We do not subcontract EPDM installations. Our crew handles every step from substrate preparation through final inspection. One team, one point of contact, and a workmanship warranty that holds because we stand behind our own work.
OUR PROVEN PROCESS
Roof Assessment
We inspect your existing roof or new structure, evaluate substrate condition and drainage, and determine the right EPDM attachment method, whether fully adhered, mechanically fastened, or ballasted, based on your building’s requirements.
Detailed Proposal
You receive a written proposal covering membrane thickness, attachment method, insulation specifications, flashing details, warranty terms, and project timeline with enough detail to make a confident decision.
Installation
We prepare the substrate, install insulation, and lay the EPDM membrane to manufacturer specifications. Every seam, lap, flashing detail, and termination edge gets properly adhered and inspected before the next layer goes on.
Final Inspection & Documentation
We perform a thorough inspection of all seams, flashings, and termination details before sign-off. You receive your warranty documentation and a complete project record the day the job closes.

FREQUENTLY ASKED QUESTIONS
What is EPDM roofing and how does it work?
EPDM is a synthetic rubber membrane installed on flat and low-slope commercial roofs using adhesive, mechanical fasteners, or ballast. It creates a continuous watertight surface that resists UV exposure, ozone, and temperature extremes over a long service life.
How long does an EPDM roof last?
A properly installed EPDM system typically lasts 25 years or more with regular maintenance. Membrane thickness, attachment method, and the quality of seam and flashing details are the biggest factors in how long the system performs before needing major attention.
What are the most common causes of EPDM roof failure?
Seam and lap adhesion failure, flashing separations around penetrations, and termination edge issues are the most frequent problems. The EPDM membrane itself is highly durable, and most failures happen at the installation details rather than in the field of the membrane.
What is the difference between fully adhered, mechanically fastened, and ballasted EPDM?
Fully adhered means the membrane is glued directly to the insulation and is the most wind-resistant method. Mechanically fastened uses fasteners and plates through the deck. Ballasted uses stone or pavers. We recommend the right method based on your building’s structure and wind exposure.
How does EPDM compare to TPO for a commercial building in this region?
EPDM is black and absorbs heat, making it less ideal for energy efficiency in hot climates, but it is extremely durable and proven over decades. TPO is white and reflective, making it better for cooling costs in the Southeast. We help you weigh the trade-offs based on your building and priorities.
Do you repair EPDM roofs that you didn't originally install?
Yes. We repair EPDM systems regardless of who installed them. We assess the membrane condition, locate the source of failure, and repair it using compatible materials, whether that means re-lapping a seam, resealing flashing, or patching a membrane tear.
