EPDM works well on flat sections common in Minneapolis housing stock. We use 60-mil reinforced Firestone membrane with factory seams. Freeze-thaw cycles in our humid continental climate with cold snowy winters and warm humid summers crack older butyl tape joints first. Cheap crews skip the 6-inch overlap and primer, so water gets under in spring.
Hennepin County requires a permit for any roof work over 100 square feet. We pull those same day and schedule inspection. Ice dams along the Mississippi Riverfront buildings push water under flashings every winter. We add extra 9-inch termination bars and sealant at those points.
A common mistake is gluing EPDM right over wet insulation. We pull the wet boards, dry the deck, then lay new polyiso before the membrane. This adds a day but stops rot that shows up two seasons later in spots like Powderhorn or Longfellow.
Call 24/7 for active leaks. We carry 10-by-10 EPDM patches on the truck and can button a hole in under two hours most days.
