Our Residential and Commercial EPDM Roofing Services
At FS Contracting Services, we provide fast, reliable EPDM roofing for homes, businesses, and farm buildings across Nebraska and Iowa.
Our team handles everything from new installations to repairs and maintenance, using proven materials that deliver durable, affordable results built for Midwest weather.
Our most common services include:
- Free Roof Inspections
- EPDM Roof Installation
- EPDM Roof Repair and Replacement
- Roof Maintenance and Restoration
When you need a new roof, our team installs EPDM systems that are built to last. We apply the membrane with proven adhesive and insulation so the surface seals tight against leaks and weather damage.
From new additions to sheds and roof extensions, our work gives you a solid roofing system built for local conditions.
EPDM Roof Repair & Replacement
Leaks, punctures, and storm damage are common issues with aging EPDM roofs. We repair them by sealing seams, patching damaged membrane, and reinforcing insulation so the system holds up against our harsh weather.
EPDM roofing repair stops leaks, seals punctures, and fixes storm damage before it spreads. Our team restores worn sections with fresh membrane and adhesive, making sure seams and insulation hold firm against Midwest weather.
For roofs with widespread damage, we handle full EPDM roof replacement. Old material is removed, surfaces are prepared, and a new membrane is installed with proper fastening and insulation to restore lasting strength.
EPDM Roof Maintenance
Regular upkeep is the key to keeping an EPDM roof performing at its best. Our maintenance service includes scheduled inspections, cleaning, and small repairs that stop minor issues before they turn into leaks or major damage.
We check seams, apply fresh EPDM adhesive where needed, and reinforce insulation to maintain a tight seal. Rubber roofing underlayment is also reviewed to make sure the system continues to protect against moisture and shifting temperatures.
This routine care has helped many of our neighbors cut down on costly repairs and keep their EPDM roofs lasting longer.

EPDM Roofing Systems We Install
At FS Contracting Services, we install different types of EPDM systems to match each building’s design, budget, and performance needs. Our experience allows us to recommend the right method for homes, businesses, and agricultural structures.
The main types of EPDM roofing we install include:
-
Fully Adhered EPDM
-
Mechanically Attached EPDM
-
Ballasted EPDM
Fully Adhered EPDM
A fully adhered system bonds the membrane directly to the roof deck with adhesive, creating a smooth finish that resists high winds and daily exposure. We often recommend this option for smaller buildings where stability and a clean appearance are most important.
Because every inch of the membrane is secured, there’s less chance of shifting or wear. Our crews have installed fully adhered systems on homes and specialty structures across the region, giving property owners reliable performance year after year
Mechanically Attached EPDM
Mechanically attached systems are fastened with plates and screws, making them affordable and efficient to install. We use this approach regularly on large commercial and industrial roofs where wide coverage is needed without extra weight.
This method also makes future repairs straightforward, since the panels are easy to access. Our experience with these systems helps business owners save time and control costs while still getting dependable protection.
Ballasted EPDM
Ballasted systems use stone or gravel to hold the membrane in place, providing durability without adhesives or heavy fastening. We have applied this solution on flat and low-slope roofs where resistance to wind uplift and weather extremes is critical.
Once in place, ballasted EPDM requires minimal upkeep. Property owners choose it for warehouses, farm buildings, and other large-span structures, and wehave seen how well it performs with little ongoing maintenance.
Key Features and Materials of EPDM Roofing
EPDM roofing comes in sheets and rolls that allow us to cover large areas efficiently and reduce the number of seams. This flexibility makes installation smoother and gives your roof stronger protection against leaks.
The membrane is a single-ply layer designed for durability, and with the right insulation support it helps regulate building temperatures. Our crews work with these systems daily, making sure each layer is applied correctly for lasting performance.
You can choose between black or white membranes, along with options that include tiles for a more finished look. These choices let you balance function with appearance.
Heat-welded seams and certified fire ratings ensure every roof we install meets modern safety standards. By focusing on proven materials, we give you peace of mind that your investment is protected.

Frequently Asked Questions
What is EPDM roofing and how does it work?
EPDM is a single-ply rubber roofing membrane installed in sheets that seal tightly to protect against water, wind, and temperature changes. It works by creating a flexible, weather-resistant barrier across your roof.
What are the advantages and disadvantages for residential and commercial buildings?
EPDM is affordable, durable, and quick to install, making it popular for flat and low-slope roofs. Its drawback is appearance, since it is usually plain black or white, but many owners choose it for function over style.
How long does EPDM roofing last?
With proper installation and maintenance, EPDM roofing lasts 25 to 30 years on average. Regular inspections and timely repairs extend its service life even further.
Can EPDM roofing handle weather extremes like hail and snow?
Yes. EPDM is engineered to flex with temperature swings and resist impact from hail or heavy snow. Proper installation and insulation are key to maximizing that protection.
How do you maintain and repair EPDM roofing?
Maintenance includes inspections, cleaning, and resealing seams or flashing. Repairs involve patching damaged membrane or replacing worn sections, which restores full performance.
What is EPDM roofing material made of?
It is made from a synthetic rubber compound of ethylene, propylene, and diene monomer. The material is lightweight, flexible, and highly resistant to weathering.
How much does EPDM roofing cost?
Pricing depends on roof size, system type, and installation method. EPDM is one of the most cost-effective flat roofing options and offers strong long-term value.
What is the difference between EPDM and TPO roofing?
EPDM is a rubber-based membrane with proven longevity, while TPO is a thermoplastic option known for reflective, energy-efficient properties. Both are common in commercial roofing, and the right choice depends on your goals.
