What is EPDM Roofing?
Ethylene Propylene Diene Monomer, commonly known as EPDM, is a synthetic rubber roofing membrane widely recognized for its exceptional durability and weather resistance. This single-ply roofing system has been protecting buildings for over 50 years, making it one of the most trusted and tested roofing materials available. EPDM membranes are typically available in black and white colors and come in various thicknesses, with 45-mil and 60-mil being the most common options for optimal performance.

Northrup King Building Roof Restoration
MINNEAPOLIS, MN (August 20, 2025) — Endurance Exteriors, the Twin Cities’ trusted leader in premium roofing solutions, has completed a full ballasted roof replacement at the historic Northrup King Building, a cornerstone of Minneapolis’ creative and industrial heritage.
This project highlights the advantages of a ballasted roofing system. Offering stability, energy efficiency, and durability ideal for large commercial properties.

Benefits of EPDM
EPDM roofing offers numerous advantages that make it an excellent investment for property owners. Its remarkable longevity is perhaps its most compelling feature, with properly installed and maintained EPDM roofs lasting 25 to 30 years or more. The material’s inherent resistance to UV radiation, ozone, and extreme temperature fluctuations ensures your roof maintains its integrity through harsh weather conditions year after year.
The cost-effectiveness of EPDM roofing is another significant benefit. Compared to other roofing systems, EPDM offers a lower upfront installation cost without sacrificing quality or performance. Its lightweight nature means reduced structural load on your building, and the simple installation process translates to lower labor costs and faster project completion.
Energy efficiency is increasingly important for property owners, and EPDM roofing delivers. White EPDM membranes reflect sunlight effectively, reducing cooling costs during hot summer months. The material’s proven track record in diverse climates from scorching deserts to freezing tundras demonstrates its versatility and reliability.

Technical Expertise and Quality Standards
The EPDM Installation Process
Our systematic approach ensures quality results on every project. We start with a comprehensive site evaluation and provide a detailed proposal outlining all work to be performed. Once approved, we prepare the roof deck, ensuring it’s clean, dry, and structurally sound. We then install insulation if needed, followed by the EPDM membrane using the most appropriate attachment method for your building.
Critical areas such as penetrations, corners, and edges receive special attention during installation. We perform rigorous quality checks throughout the process and conduct a final inspection to ensure every aspect meets our high standards and manufacturer specifications.
