Flat Roof Leaking? Time for a Permanent Fix.
Is your current flat roof patched in five different places? Does water pool on top after every rain?
Rubber Installation
Here’s the truth: Most flat roofs fail because they aren’t built for the freeze-thaw cycles we get in Pennsylvania. At Economy Roofing PA, we specialize in Rubber (EPDM) roofing—the toughest, most flexible membrane for low-slope roofs, additions, and mobile homes.
🏠Why Rubber? Because PA weather is unforgiving.
Rubber (EPDM) isn’t like the old hot tar roofs. It’s a seamless membrane that expands and contracts with our brutal summers and freezing winters without cracking. We’ve torn off too many “temporary” patches to count. We only install permanent solutions.
The Economy Roofing Rubber Roof System
We don’t just roll out rubber. We build a watertight system designed to last 50+ years.
- Tear-Off & Inspection: We strip it down to the deck. No covering up rot. If the wood underneath is soft, we replace it on the spot.
- Proper Pitch: Flat doesn’t mean perfectly flat. We ensure water runs toward your drains, not into your living room.
- Seamless Membrane: We use wide rolls of 60-mil EPDM rubber—the commercial grade stuff. Fewer seams mean zero weak points.
- Full Adhesion: No bubbles, no wrinkles. Fully adhered so wind uplift (common in storms) never lifts an edge.

Frequently Asked Questions
Q: Is rubber roofing expensive?
A: It is more affordable than slate or tile and significantly cheaper in the long run than constantly repairing an old tar roof. Because it lasts so long, the cost per year is lower than any other option.
Q: Can I walk on a rubber roof?
A: Yes, but carefully. EPDM is durable, but sharp heels or dragging tools can puncture it. We can install walk pads in high-traffic areas if you need to access an AC unit or satellite dish up there.
Q: How long does installation take?
A: Most residential flat roofs (up to 1,500 sq ft) are completed in 1-2 days. We minimize your downtime.
Q: Will you match the roof to my house color?
A: EPDM is typically black, but we can apply a reflective coating to reduce heat absorption or discuss TPO options which come in white and tan.
