Elko New Market, Minnesota
Local EPDM Roofing in Elko New Market, MN
Almost nothing in Elko New Market is old, and that includes the flat roofs. The commercial buildings here went up during the decade the city grew fastest in the state, so a rubber roof in town is more likely to be fifteen years into its life than at the end of it. Most of what we do here is a new membrane on a new building, or a repair that is genuinely a repair.

Young roofs need attention, not replacement
Two things drive a rubber roof job in Elko New Market. The first is new construction, where a low slope section on a commercial or metal building gets its first membrane, and the second is a fifteen year old roof that somebody thinks is finished when it is not. Up around Boulder Pointe the ground sits near 1,150 feet on open upland along the interstate, roughly four hundred feet above the valley floor at Jordan, and that exposure shows up on the roof as uplift at the corners and edges rather than wear in the field. We fasten for it. On a membrane that is still sound, the honest work is new edge metal, fresh curb flashings and a proper walk pad, and for roofs where the goal is a few more years we also do roof coatings rather than tear off a roof that still has years in it.
EPDM Roofing in Elko New Market
Built for an open, exposed site
Attachment decided before the build
On new commercial work we get involved while the deck and the parapet heights are still on paper, so the membrane attachment and the edge detail suit an exposed site instead of being fixed after.
Metal buildings detailed properly
A low slope section tying into a metal building is where most of these leaks start. The membrane has to terminate against the panel and be counterflashed, not caulked to it and hoped over.
Walk pads where crews actually walk
Service techs reach the rooftop units the same way every time and wear a path into the sheet. Pads laid along that route keep punctures out of a roof that is otherwise practically new.
Repairs that stay repairs
A young membrane with a bad curb or a split pipe boot does not need replacing. Fixing the detail with matching material keeps the roof one system rather than a quilt of patches.
A look before every winter
Rubber shrinks as it ages and the pull shows at the corners first. Catching a lifted corner in October is a half day of work. Finding it in February is an interior repair as well.
New buildings kept on schedule
Roofing sits between the framing and everything that follows it. We dry the building in when we said we would, so the trades behind us are not standing around waiting.
Straight answers on a newer building
We will talk you out of it
If the roof has years left we say so. There is not much in Elko New Market old enough to need a full membrane replacement yet, and pretending otherwise would show.
We read the spec with you
On new construction we go through the attachment, the insulation and the edge detail before anything is ordered, so the roof matches the building instead of the catalog.
We do the whole envelope
Roofing, siding, windows and metal buildings are all in house, so a wall panel or a gutter tied into the roof is not a second contractor's problem to sort out.
We show up when we said
Scheduling is the usual complaint people have about roofers. We give you a window and keep it, and if weather moves us we call before you have to ask.

What people near Elko New Market say
The crew arrived early and spread tarps all around the house to capture every bit of debris. By 3:00 PM, my entire roof was completely finished.

Questions we get in Elko New Market
What people in Elko New Market ask us about this work. If yours is not covered, call and ask.
Is any commercial roof in Elko New Market old enough to replace?
A few, but not many. Most of what is here went up after 2000, so the typical rubber roof in town is somewhere in the middle of its life. That usually means edge metal, curb flashings and seam work rather than a tear off. We will tell you which one you are looking at once we get on it.
Can EPDM go over the low slope part of a metal building?
Yes, and it is common on the buildings along the interstate. The membrane goes over insulation on the low slope section and terminates against the metal wall with a counterflashed detail, so panel movement does not pull it open. Done that way it outlasts the sealant joint that usually gets used instead.
Does the wind on the high ground in Elko New Market change how a roof is attached?
It does. The plats around Boulder Pointe sit near 1,150 feet on open upland along Interstate 35, several hundred feet above the valley floor, and wind arrives with nothing in front of it. Corners and edges carry the highest uplift, so those zones get tighter fastener spacing and heavier edge metal than the field needs.
