Can I install a rubber roof myself?

While EPDM rubber roofing is considered one of the easier roofing materials to install, it's generally not recommended as a DIY project unless you have significant roofing experience and the necessary tools and equipment. Improper installation can lead to leaks, premature failure, and void warranties. For a safe and effective installation, hire a professional.

Can you put a roof over a rubber roof?

Yes, in most cases, you can install a new roof over an existing rubber roof, known as a roof overlay or recover. However, factors to consider include:
  • Roof Deck Condition: The existing roof deck must be structurally sound and free of significant damage.
  • Number of Existing Layers: Check local building codes to see if they permit overlays. Often, only one overlay is allowed. If the existing rubber roof is already an overlay, a complete tear-off might be required.
  • Compatibility of Materials: The new roofing material and its underlayment should be compatible with the existing rubber roof.
A professional roofing contractor can assess your roof and advise on the best course of action.

How do I clean a rubber roof?

Cleaning an EPDM rubber roof:
  1. Sweep Debris: Remove loose debris with a broom or leaf blower.
  2. Prepare Solution: Mix mild detergent (designed for rubber roofs) with water according to instructions.
  3. Apply Solution: Use a soft-bristled brush or mop to apply the cleaning solution, focusing on dirt or algae buildup.
  4. Rinse Thoroughly: Rinse with clean water, ensuring no residue remains.
Avoid harsh chemicals or abrasive cleaners, as these can damage the EPDM membrane.
