CMP Roofing specializes in EPDM rubber roofing installation for residential flat and low-slope roofs throughout Greater Calgary. Our certified crews deliver professional installations backed by manufacturer warranties.
We install premium EPDM membranes from industry leaders like Firestone, Carlisle, and Johns Manville. Whether you need a small addition covered or a complete flat-roof home protected, we have the expertise to do it right.
While TPO and PVC have gained popularity, EPDM remains the gold standard for residential flat roofs. Its 50+ year proven track record, flexibility in extreme cold, and simple repairs make it ideal for Canadian climates. Black EPDM provides excellent UV resistance, while white EPDM offers cool-roof energy savings.
EPDM requires minimal maintenance—periodic inspections and keeping drains clear. When repairs are needed, they're simple and inexpensive using seam tape or liquid rubber. Most repairs take less than an hour and require no special equipment.
Calgary's cold snaps, chinook thaws and summer hail are hard on flat roofs over garages, additions and modern homes. EPDM stays flexible through the cold, and we detail it for local conditions: fully adhered sheets to resist wind, a cover board where hail exposure is high, and slope and drain placement that stops meltwater from ponding and refreezing.

Common questions about residential rubber roofing
EPDM roofs routinely last 30-50+ years with proper installation and minimal maintenance. Some installations from the 1970s are still performing today, demonstrating the material's exceptional longevity.
Excellent. EPDM remains flexible down to -40°C, making it ideal for Canadian winters. It won't crack or become brittle in extreme cold like some other roofing materials.
Black EPDM has a longer track record and absorbs heat, which helps in cold climates. White EPDM reflects heat, reducing cooling costs in summer. We can help you choose based on your specific situation.
Yes, EPDM is durable enough for occasional foot traffic for maintenance. For rooftop decks with regular use, we install EPDM as the waterproofing membrane beneath deck tiles or pavers.
Cost depends on the roof size, whether old roofing must be removed, insulation, and how many skylights, vents and walls need flashing. A small garage or addition roof costs far less than a whole-house flat roof. We provide a written quote after measuring your roof.
Both work well on residential flat roofs. EPDM is often preferred for its cold-weather flexibility and easy repairs, while TPO offers heat-welded seams and a reflective surface. We recommend a membrane based on your roof, how it drains and how you use it.
