Straightforward EPDM Roofing in Roseville, MN

Stand on a low slope retail roof off County Road B in Roseville and the building's history is right there in the seams: black rubber laid when the plaza was last renovated, now chalky and drum tight after forty Minnesota winters of expansion and contraction. In this city the answer is nearly always recover, repair or replace, and what separates them is the core sample.

Rubber Roofs Over A Postwar Commercial Core

Roseville laid out its retail spine in the 1950s and 1960s, and the low slope decks around Har Mar Mall, Rosedale Center and the County Road B corridor are on their second or third membrane by now. Those buildings sit a block from the ramblers of Central Park and Reservoir Woods, where long low pitched planes and shallow additions often carry a rubber section of their own. EPDM ages honestly: the field sheet stays sound long after the details give up. So we start at the perimeter, the curbs and the drains, then cut cores. Dry insulation over a solid deck means a fully adhered recover can keep the building open. Wet fiber board means tear off, and we will say so plainly. Between those two answers sit roof coatings, which can buy a sound but weathered membrane a few more seasons when a full project is not in this year's budget. We will tell you which of the three fits your roof, in writing, at no charge.

What Sound Rubber Does For A Roseville Building

  • Corners Detailed, Not Just Field Laps

    The inside and outside corners at parapets and curbs take the same movement as a field lap with none of the room to give. We build those corners wide and fully sealed so the rubber can work without tearing itself open.

  • Retail Leases Keep Running

    Recovering over the existing deck at a Har Mar or County Road B strip center means mall hours never change. Crews stage off the roof, so the only thing your shoppers notice is a lift parked in the back lot.

  • Full Sun Where Shade Once Was

    A seventy year old canopy came down with the ash borer, and roof planes that spent decades in shade now take full afternoon sun. We add cover board and heavier membrane where that exposure changed.

  • Positive Slope Where Water Used To Sit

    Limbs still drop into gutters and scuppers on these older streets. We reset drain bowls, build positive slope with tapered insulation and keep standing water off the seams where rubber ages fastest.

  • The Adjuster Sees The Roof We Walked

    Hail bruises rubber and wind peels perimeter edge metal. We photograph, measure and write up the damage on your Roseville building so the adjuster sees the same roof we walked.

  • Flashings Tied Into Every Wall

    Parapets, rooftop units, skylight curbs and pipe boots are where Roseville roofs actually leak. We rebuild those details as one system so no field patch has to carry the whole building.

Why Roseville Property Owners Call Orange Exteriors

  • What Came Out Of The Core Decides

    Guessing at what sits under an old Roseville membrane costs owners real money. We cut test cores, check the insulation for moisture and look at the deck, then recommend recover or tear off based on what came out.

  • A Crew Already On The 494 Loop

    We work out of Eden Prairie and run the 494 and 35W loop into Roseville, Shoreview and Maplewood constantly, so a leak call does not sit waiting on a crew coming from three counties away.

  • Answered At Any Hour, Any Day

    We are open twenty four hours, seven days. When a February thaw finds a split seam over a leased suite, someone picks up and a crew heads to Roseville that night rather than Monday morning.

  • Family Run, Licensed And Insured

    We are a family run, faith based company, licensed and insured, rated 5.0 from 217 Google reviews. The person who walks your roof is the person you can call back when a question comes up later.

  • Insurance Work Without The Runaround

    Storm claims on commercial rubber get technical fast. We meet the adjuster on the roof, speak to scope line by line and keep the paperwork lined up so the repair matches what was actually approved.

EPDM Questions We Hear In Roseville

What people in Roseville ask us about this work. If yours is not covered, call and ask.

Is my Roseville building on its second or third membrane?

Roseville built out its retail spine in the postwar decades, so most low slope buildings here are already on a second or third membrane. A lot of the rubber we walk went down in the late 1980s and 1990s, which puts it near or past a normal service run of twenty to thirty years. Seam width, sheet thickness and the fastener pattern usually tell us the decade.

Should my Roseville building get an EPDM recover or a full tear off?

It depends on three things: how many roof layers are already up there, whether the insulation is wet and whether the deck is sound. If two layers exist, or the fiber board comes out saturated, code and common sense both point to tear off. One dry layer over a solid deck, and a fully adhered recover is faster and quieter for your tenants.

How much does an unshaded Roseville rooftop shorten a membrane's life?

Temperature swing. A black membrane can run very hot on a July afternoon and sit far below zero in January, so every detail gets pulled and released thousands of times. Adhesives fatigue at laps and corners long before the field sheet wears out. Add limbs dropping into drains from the thinned ash canopy and water lingers right where rubber is weakest.
