EPDM rubber membrane roofing is a proven flat roof system for Plymouth's older commercial buildings, light industrial properties, and multi-unit complexes. With the right installation method and adequate membrane thickness, EPDM performs reliably through Minnesota's temperature extremes — and in the right building context, it delivers excellent value relative to newer single-ply thermoplastic membranes.
Not every Plymouth commercial building is a candidate for TPO or PVC. Older structures, buildings with unusual deck conditions, and properties where cost efficiency is the primary driver often benefit from a properly specified EPDM system. We assess the existing assembly, specify the correct installation method, and install EPDM systems that meet Plymouth's wind load and drainage requirements.

Fully adhered EPDM installation on Plymouth commercial buildings for maximum wind uplift resistance — the preferred method for most commercial structures in Hennepin County's wind exposure zone.
Mechanically fastened EPDM for Plymouth commercial buildings where structural loading limits preclude fully adhered or ballasted installation. Fastener and plate spacing engineered to local wind requirements.
Seam repair, flashing replacement, and partial membrane restoration on existing EPDM roofs on Plymouth commercial buildings — extending system life before full replacement becomes necessary.

Frequently Asked Questions
Commercial Roofing can be complex, and we’re here to provide answers to common questions. Here are some frequently asked questions from our clients.
We install all major commercial flat roof systems including TPO, EPDM, PVC, modified bitumen, and standing seam metal roofing. We work with corporate office parks, medical facilities, warehouses, and multi-unit complexes throughout Plymouth and surrounding Hennepin County communities.
Commercial roof replacement in Plymouth, MN typically ranges from $8 to $20 per square foot depending on system type, building size, and access conditions. TPO and EPDM systems fall on the lower end while metal roofing runs higher. We provide detailed written estimates after an on-site inspection of your building.
Most commercial property owners in Plymouth should schedule professional roof inspections twice per year — once in spring after freeze-thaw cycling and once in fall before winter. Properties with older flat roof systems or recent storm activity may benefit from additional inspections. Regular inspection protects warranty coverage and catches issues early.
Yes. We serve commercial properties throughout west Hennepin County including Minnetonka, Golden Valley, and St. Louis Park. Our service territory is designed around Plymouth's corporate corridor with most project sites reachable within 30 minutes from our base of operations.
TPO is a thermoplastic membrane heat-welded at seams, offering strong energy efficiency and chemical resistance — the preferred choice for Plymouth's corporate offices and medical facilities. EPDM is a rubber membrane with taped seams, typically lower in cost and suited for older commercial buildings with simple flat roof profiles. We assess each building individually.
Yes. We carry full commercial general liability insurance and Minnesota contractor licensing for commercial roofing work. We pull Hennepin County building permits for commercial roof replacement and new installation and operate in compliance with Plymouth's building department requirements for all permitted commercial roofing projects.
EPDM is often the right choice for older Plymouth commercial buildings with simple flat roof profiles, especially when budget is a primary consideration. The rubber membrane is flexible through Minnesota temperature extremes and well-suited to buildings that have carried EPDM previously. We assess the existing assembly before recommending EPDM replacement or crossover to TPO or PVC.
The most common EPDM failure points on Plymouth commercial buildings are seam separations from freeze-thaw cycling, flashings pulling away from roof penetrations, and membrane shrinkage over time. Properties with aging EPDM showing seam bubbling or visible shrinkage around the perimeter should schedule a professional inspection before winter conditions arrive.
EPDM is installed using one of three methods: fully adhered with bonding adhesive, mechanically fastened with fasteners and plates, or ballasted with smooth river stone. Most Plymouth commercial applications use fully adhered installation for wind uplift performance given Minnesota's storm exposure. We specify the installation method based on the building's structural capacity and wind load requirements.
Standard black EPDM absorbs heat and increases cooling costs compared to white TPO during Plymouth's summer months. White EPDM membranes are available and close most of the energy efficiency gap at a cost premium. For Plymouth office parks and corporate buildings with significant cooling loads, we typically recommend TPO as the primary flat roof system for its combined performance and energy profile.

We had a TPO roof replacement on our Plymouth office park building completed on schedule with zero tenant complaints. The crew coordinated work hours around our tenants and finished in four days. Professional team, clean work site, and all documentation was ready for our property management records.
Mark Larsson

Our commercial building on Medicine Lake Road had a persistent leak around a rooftop HVAC unit. The inspection report identified three separate flashing failures I had no idea about. The repair was done in one day and has not leaked since. Responsive, knowledgeable, and completely honest about what we actually needed.
Diane Holloway

We needed emergency repair after a hail event hit our corporate campus in Plymouth. They were on-site the next morning, documented everything for our insurance claim, and installed temporary protection while we scheduled the permanent repair. The entire process ran without disrupting a single tenant.
