An EPDM Roofing Contractor in Chicago

EPDM is a synthetic rubber membrane that has protected low slope commercial roofs for decades. It comes in large sheets with fewer seams than most systems, and it stays flexible through the temperature swings Chicago roofs go through every year.

RMV Roofing is a self performing commercial roofing contractor based in Franklin Park. We install new EPDM roofs, repair and maintain existing ones, and help building owners decide when an aging rubber roof is worth keeping.

Why EPDM Roofing Holds Up on Chicago Commercial Buildings

Chicago roofs go from summer heat to subzero nights within a few months. A rubber membrane stays pliable in the cold, so an EPDM roof can move with the building through freeze and thaw cycles instead of fighting it.
That flexibility is a big reason so many older warehouses, industrial buildings, and multi family properties in the area still have EPDM on top. Wide sheets mean fewer seams to watch, and seams are where most low slope roof leaks start.
EPDM also patches well as it ages. An older rubber roof in fair condition can often be repaired, or coated as part of a restoration, instead of torn off. A current inspection shows which option makes sense for your building and your budget.

What's Included in Our EPDM Roofing Services

EPDM Roof Installation

New EPDM roofs for new construction and full replacements, installed by our own crews with careful attention to seams, flashing, and edges.

EPDM Roof Inspection

Free inspections with a written report on the membrane, seams, flashing, and drainage, so you know what needs attention now and what can wait.

EPDM Roof Maintenance

Scheduled visits that keep drains clear, check seams and flashing, and catch small problems before they reach the inside of the building.

EPDM Roof Repair

Seam separation, punctures, shrinkage, and flashing problems repaired at the source, so the membrane keeps water out.

Is EPDM the Right System for Your Building?

EPDM is a strong fit for many commercial roofs, but not every one. It's often the right call when:

The building already has an EPDM roof in fair condition
The roof is ballasted and the structure is designed for that weight
The roof needs a membrane that stays flexible through hard winters
Large, open roof areas benefit from wide sheets and fewer seams
EPDM can be fully adhered, mechanically attached, or ballasted, depending on the roof deck. Inside Chicago, standard black EPDM needs a compliant approach to meet the city's cool roof code. We inspect first and recommend second, whether that means EPDM, TPO, or keeping the roof you have.

Signs Your EPDM Roof Needs Attention

Schedule an inspection if you notice:
Seams that are lifting, peeling, or separating
Membrane that has shrunk and pulls away from edges or flashing
Punctures or tears from foot traffic, debris, or rooftop equipment
Ponding water that sits on the roof more than 48 hours after rain
Cracking, brittleness, or surface wear on an older membrane
Leaks or ceiling stains that keep coming back after repairs
A free inspection tells you whether the roof needs a repair, a restoration, or a bigger conversation about replacement.
