The cost of EPDM (Ethylene Propylene Diene Monomer) roofing can vary depending on various factors such as the size of the roof, the quality of the material, installation method, labor costs, and geographical location.
At Roofing Solutions, we’ve compiled a list of EPDM material costs, so that you can ensure you’re receiving the best pricing when having EPDM installed on your commercial building.
Here’s a breakdown of the potential costs involved with EPDM roofing:
1. EPDM Membrane: EPDM roofing membrane typically costs between $0.80 to $1.50 per square foot for the material alone. This cost can vary based on the thickness and quality of the EPDM membrane.
2. Adhesives and Sealants: Additional materials such as adhesives, seam tapes, and sealants may be required and can add to the material cost. These can range from $0.20 to $0.50 per square foot.
3. Flashing and Accessories: Costs for flashing materials and other accessories needed for proper installation should also be considered.
1. Installation Labor: Labor costs for EPDM roofing installation vary widely depending on factors such as the complexity of the roof, accessibility, and local labor rates. On average, labor costs can range from $2.50 to $5.50 per square foot of roofing.
2. Removal of Old Roofing: If the old roofing material needs to be removed before installing EPDM, this can add to the labor costs. Removal costs typically range from $1.00 to $4.00 per square foot.
1. Roof Size: Larger roofs may benefit from economies of scale, resulting in lower costs per square foot.
2. Roof Complexity: Roofs with multiple penetrations, angles, or features may require more labor and materials, thus increasing the overall cost.
3. Geographical Location: Costs can vary significantly based on the local cost of living, labor rates, and availability of materials.
4. Quality of Materials: Higher-quality EPDM membranes or specialized products may cost more upfront but offer better performance and longevity.
1. Get Multiple Quotes: It’s advisable to obtain quotes from multiple roofing contractors to compare prices and services offered.
2. Consider Total Value: While cost is important, also consider the reputation, experience, and warranty offerings of the contractor and EPDM membrane manufacturer.
Combining material and labor costs, the total cost for an EPDM roofing project can range from $4.50 to $11.50 per square foot. For a typical 1,500 square foot residential roof, the total cost might range from $6,750 to $17,250. However, these are rough estimates and actual costs may vary based on the factors mentioned above.
1. Regular Inspections: Regularly inspect your EPDM roof for signs of wear or damage, especially after severe weather conditions. Make sure to have inspections done by licensed roofing contractors.
2. Manufacturer’s Instructions: Always follow the specific instructions and recommendations provided by the EPDM membrane manufacturer for the best results.
3. Avoid Walking on the Roof: Minimize foot traffic on your EPDM roof to prevent unnecessary wear and tear.
