Massachusetts has a lot of older homes. Many have flat or low-slope roofs. EPDM is a popular choice for these. It handles our cold winters and wet springs well. Salt spray near the coast can also affect roofing. We inspect for damage caused by ice dams and wind-driven rain. Proper installation is key for EPDM to last. Look for roofers who know Massachusetts building codes. These rules help ensure a safe, lasting repair.
