RUBBER ROOFING
EPDM rubber roofing delivers proven performance for flat and low-slope roofs. Pro Specialty Services installs durable rubber membrane systems that protect Florida commercial and residential properties for decades.
Expert Rubber Roofing Services in Lake County
EPDM (Ethylene Propylene Diene Monomer) rubber roofing has been protecting flat roofs for over 50 years. This synthetic rubber membrane is one of the most trusted materials for commercial and residential flat roofing applications because it simply works—year after year, in Florida's demanding climate.
At Pro Specialty Services, we install fully-adhered, mechanically-fastened, and ballasted EPDM systems depending on your building's needs. Our crews are trained in proper seaming techniques and penetration flashing that prevent the water intrusion issues that plague poorly-installed flat roofs.
Whether you're replacing an aging flat roof or roofing a new addition, rubber roofing offers an excellent balance of performance, longevity, and value. We'll help you understand if EPDM is the right choice for your property.

Why Choose EPDM Rubber Roofing
Rubber roofing excels in Florida for several reasons. EPDM has exceptional UV resistance—critical when your roof bakes under the Florida sun for decades. Unlike some materials that degrade quickly, rubber roofing maintains its integrity even with constant UV exposure.
Flexibility is another key advantage. EPDM can stretch up to 300% without tearing, which means it handles building movement and thermal expansion without cracking. This flexibility also helps it resist punctures and tears from foot traffic and debris.
Cost-effectiveness makes rubber roofing attractive for budget-conscious property owners. While TPO and PVC offer some advantages, EPDM typically costs less per square foot while delivering comparable performance over a 25-30 year lifespan.

Common Questions
With proper installation and maintenance, EPDM roofs typically last 25-30 years. Some EPDM roofs have performed well for over 40 years. The key is proper seaming and flashing during installation.
Yes, black EPDM absorbs heat. However, when installed over proper insulation, this rarely affects interior comfort. White EPDM and reflective coatings are available if energy efficiency is a priority.
Often yes. If your existing roof deck is in good condition, we can install EPDM directly over many existing flat roof materials. We'll inspect and advise whether a recover or tear-off makes more sense for your situation.
Both are excellent flat roof options. EPDM typically costs less and has a longer track record. TPO offers better energy efficiency due to its white color. We can help you compare based on your specific priorities.
EPDM is relatively eco-friendly. It's long lifespan means less frequent replacement, and old EPDM can be recycled into other rubber products. Some manufacturers offer recycled-content EPDM as well.
Minimal maintenance—annual inspections to check seams and flashings, clearing debris and drains, and addressing any punctures promptly. We offer maintenance plans for worry-free ownership.
