Shoreview, Minnesota
Complete EPDM Roofing in Shoreview, MN
Most of the low slope rubber roofs on this side of Ramsey County went down when the surrounding split levels were new, and forty winters of flexing shows at the seams first. That is the EPDM conversation in Shoreview, where the commercial stock grew up alongside the 1970s and 1980s subdivisions near Turtle and Snail Lakes. Orange Exteriors is family run and faith based, works out of Eden Prairie, and will tell you whether a recover carries this roof or the membrane is finished, in writing, at no cost.

What Forty Winters Do to a Shoreview Rubber Roof
Ramsey County commercial stock sits at an awkward age for EPDM. A single ply rubber roof from the late 1970s or the 1980s has stretched through decades of Minnesota range, tight in January and slack in July, and that cycle finds the weak points long before it touches the field of the sheet. So we start where the movement concentrates: seam laps, pipe boots, and the flashing that turns up a parapet or a rooftop unit curb. On buildings near Turtle Lake, Snail Lake and Island Lake, one elevation faces open water with nothing to slow the wind, and that edge is where lifted membrane and loose termination bar show up. What we find decides the recommendation. Dry insulation under a tired sheet is a recover candidate. Saturated board, a sagging deck or years of patched splits means the roof comes off. When the answer lands between the two, roof coatings over a sound but weathered membrane belong in the conversation, and we lay both paths out in one written estimate instead of quietly steering you toward the bigger job.
EPDM Roofing in Shoreview
What a Sound EPDM Roof Gives a Shoreview Building
Pinholes Closed at Every T Joint
Properly primed and taped laps, with fresh cover tape at every T joint, stop the pinhole leaks that open when a rubber sheet contracts hard on a five below morning and pulls at forty year old splices.
A Recover That Skips the Tear Off
When the insulation below tests dry, a new membrane can go over the old one. That keeps dumpsters out of the parking lot, keeps tenants working, and shortens the window your building sits open.
Edge Metal Rated for Lake Wind
Buildings within sight of Turtle, Snail or Island Lake take wind straight off open water. Fastened termination bar and properly gauged edge metal keep the perimeter from lifting first.
Storm Damage You Can Document
Hail bruising, wind lifted laps and punctures from downed limbs get photographed and mapped before anything is covered up, so the file you hand your carrier reflects what is actually on the roof.
The Board Comes Out Where It Is Wet
Insulation that has taken on water stops insulating and holds the deck wet underneath it. We map the saturated sections with test cuts and replace those, so the new membrane is not going down over a problem that keeps working.
Water That Actually Leaves the Roof
Ponding over a sagged bay is what kills rubber early. Tapered insulation and reset drains and scuppers move standing water off before it works into a seam and freezes there all winter.
How Orange Exteriors Works on Shoreview Rooftops
We Open the Roof Before We Advise
No recommendation comes from the parking lot. We take test cuts through the membrane and the board underneath, then hand you the wet and dry evidence so the recover or replace decision is yours to see.
Water Stopped Before Paperwork Starts
Our phones are open 24 hours, seven days a week. When a lap lets go in the middle of the night we get the water stopped first and start writing the repair up afterward.
Both Options in One Written Estimate
You get the recover scope and the full replacement scope side by side, free and with no obligation, including what happens if the deck reveals a surprise. Nothing gets decided under pressure on the roof.
We Stand With You on Storm Claims
Shoreview has taken real weather, from the F1 tornado that cut a twelve mile swath through town in May 1998 to routine summer hail. We meet the adjuster on the roof and walk the damage together.
Regulars on Ramsey County Roofs
Two hundred seventeen Google reviews sit at a 5.0 average. We are licensed and insured, based in Eden Prairie, and on Ramsey County roofs regularly through Roseville, Maplewood and St. Paul.

EPDM Questions From Shoreview Owners
What people in Shoreview ask us about this work. If yours is not covered, call and ask.
Am I still standing on the original membrane on a Shoreview building?
A large share of it is original. The city's low slope commercial buildings went up alongside the split level and multi level housing of the 1970s and 1980s, so the membrane you are standing on is often three to four decades old. Rubber that age is usually past its service life at the details, even when the field still looks serviceable from the ladder.
What tips a Shoreview rubber roof from recover to replacement?
Three things decide it: how much moisture the insulation holds, how many roof systems are already stacked on the deck, and whether the deck itself is sound. Dry board with one existing system points to a recover. Wet board, a second existing layer or a soft deck means tear off. We cut test squares and show you what came out.
Why do seams and flashings fail before the field on EPDM here?
Minnesota drives the sheet through a huge annual swing, contracting it in deep cold and relaxing it in July heat. Every cycle pulls at the splices, the pipe boots and the curb flashings, because those are restrained points. Add steady wind off Turtle or Snail Lake on lakefront elevations and the perimeter laps take the hardest working of all.
