Houston EPDM Roofing, also known as rubber roofing, is a fast, flexible and affordable solution for roofing, especially low-angle roofs. EPDM—ethylene propylene diene terpolymer—is well suited for commercial and industrial buildings, patios, garages, carports, and certain residences.

EPDM rubber roofing is a very affordable option, and installation is generally speedy. There are other advantages to this type of roof, including its lightweight and easy adaptation to many sizes and types of roofs. The EPDM roofing technology has been used successfully since the 1970s. EPDM is fire resistant, UV resistant, wind resistant, hail resistant and waterproof. A large sheet can cover a significant area of a roof, and the material is flexible, accommodating settling of a building and extreme variations in temperature. Repairs to EPDM roofs are relatively easy, quick and affordable. The product has longevity going for it too, as some EPDM roofs have lasted more than 50 years. The material insulates the building and is recyclable, although the roofing material lasts for a long time.

Some view EPDM as having one drawback—its appearance. Those considering EPDM roofs, however, should know that the surface may be painted in any color of special acrylics, making EPDM an attractive roofing choice.
