An Auburn commercial roofing contractor for churches, schools, offices and shops, with most of our work on EPDM rubber roofs.
Auburn Roofs
Commercial Roofing in Auburn
Much of the work for an Auburn commercial roofing contractor is on institutional buildings: churches, schools, meeting halls and low offices. Many of these roofs are black EPDM rubber, laid over simple low-slope decks with skylights, hatches and a few vents.
Those buildings keep set schedules. We plan work around worship services, classes and events, and keep entrances clear while the roof is open. Board members and committees get photos and a plain written list, which makes approvals easier when work needs a vote.
- EPDM laps cleaned, primed and retaped
- Skylight and hatch curbs reflashed
- Rubber roof replacements over new insulation

Roof Problems
Auburn Commercial Roof Problems on Rubber Roofs
EPDM roofs in Auburn show five common problems.
- Field And Seams
Peeling Laps
Older EPDM laps glued with liquid adhesive dry out and peel back at the edges.
- Rooftop Units And Penetrations
Skylight Curbs
Skylight curbs leak where the rubber flashing pulls away from the frame.
- Edge And Parapet
Wall Shrinkage
Shrinking rubber bridges across the corner where the roof meets a wall, then tears.
- Edge And Parapet
Roof-to-Wall Joints
Additions tie a flat roof into a taller wall, and that joint needs counterflashing.
- Drains And Scuppers
Leaf-Filled Drains
Mature trees around schools and churches drop leaves into drains every fall.
