Who Provides EPDM Commercial Roofing in Newark?

What EPDM Commercial Roofing Do We Provide?

• Mechanically attached EPDM — Mechanically attached EPDM fastens the rubber membrane to the deck with plates and bars, the attachment method that resists wind uplift on tall or high-exposure Essex County buildings, sized to the NJ design wind speed per ASCE 7 as adopted by the NJ Uniform Construction Code.
• Fully adhered EPDM — Fully adhered EPDM bonds the rubber membrane to the substrate with contact adhesive, the method that resists wind flutter and suits complex roof geometry, holding the membrane flat across the field.
• Ballasted EPDM — Ballasted EPDM holds the rubber membrane in place under washed stone, the lowest-installed-cost attachment, used where the deck carries the ballast load.
• EPDM seam and flashing repair — EPDM seam and flashing repair reseals the splice seams and the penetration flashing where EPDM fails most often, because seam separation is the dominant EPDM failure mode, per NRCA technical guidance.
• EPDM recover and membrane replacement — EPDM recover and membrane replacement installs new EPDM over a sound roof or strips the failed membrane to the deck, the work the NJ Rehabilitation Subcode governs when the existing covering is water-soaked or already carries 2 or more layers, per N.J.A.C. 5:23-6.4.

How Do You Know If You Need EPDM Commercial Roofing?

• Open or separated splice seams on a rubber membrane signal an EPDM roof at the end of service, because seam separation is the dominant EPDM failure mode, per NRCA technical guidance.
• A rubber membrane pulling away from perimeters, curbs, and penetrations indicates membrane shrinkage and creep, a secondary EPDM failure mode that opens the flashing details, per NRCA technical guidance.
• Ponding water standing on the low-slope roof more than 48 hours counts as a defect that stretches and ages the membrane, because a flat roof needs at least ¼ inch per foot of slope to drain, per NRCA and ARMA.
• Membrane damage across more than 25 to 30% of the roof area crosses the flat-roof replacement threshold, the point above which full membrane replacement costs less than continued spot repair, per Parish, Modernize, and HomeGuide flat-roof guidance.
• Recurring leaks at the same location on the membrane signal a systemic failure rather than an isolated puncture, the condition that favors replacement regardless of damaged area, per HomeAdvisor flat-roof guidance.
• A commercial low-slope roof reaching 15 to 25 years of EPDM service approaches the documented EPDM lifespan, per the InterNACHI life-expectancy chart, the age at which a building owner plans the membrane replacement.

How Do Our Roofing Contractors Perform EPDM Commercial Roofing?

What Are the Steps in Our EPDM Commercial Roofing Process?

1. 1
   Building Assessment and Engineering

   A Newark Quality Roofing technician inspects the deck and the existing membrane, sizes the wind-uplift attachment against the NJ design wind speed per ASCE 7 as adopted by the NJ Uniform Construction Code, and designs the insulation and drainage slope for the EPDM assembly.

2. 2
   Permit and Project Planning

   A Newark Quality Roofing crew files the construction permit a commercial EPDM roof requires under N.J.A.C. 5:23-2.7, sets a phased installation sequence with weather contingencies, and coordinates with building operations to minimize disruption, per the NJ Uniform Construction Code.

3. 3
   Tear-Off or Recover and Deck Work

   A Newark Quality Roofing crew strips the failed membrane in managed sections or prepares a sound roof for recover, with complete removal required by N.J.A.C. 5:23-6.4 when the covering is water-soaked or already carries 2 or more layers, then repairs the deck.

4. 4
   Insulation and Drainage Installation

   A Newark Quality Roofing crew installs continuous rigid insulation in staggered layers under the membrane and sets tapered insulation to at least ¼ inch per foot of slope, the drainage that clears the ponding water NRCA and ARMA count as a defect after 48 hours.

5. 5
   EPDM Membrane and Seam Bonding

   A Newark Quality Roofing crew sets the EPDM rubber membrane with the specified attachment method and bonds the splice seams with primer, splice tape, and lap adhesive to manufacturer specification, the seam construction that addresses the dominant EPDM failure mode, per NRCA technical guidance.

6. 6
   Flashing, Verification, and Warranty

   A Newark Quality Roofing lead flashes the curbs, penetrations, and perimeters with manufacturer-approved EPDM components, verifies the seams and drainage, and registers the manufacturer system warranty, keeping the manufacturer material warranty intact alongside the written workmanship warranty on the labor.
