EPDM roofing is one of the most trusted and widely used flat roofing systems for commercial properties across the country, and for good reason. Its flexibility, durability, and resistance to extreme temperature swings make it an especially strong performer in Minnesota’s demanding climate. As a trusted roofing company in White Bear Lake, MN, Avalanche Home Services installs and repairs EPDM roofing systems for commercial properties throughout the Twin Cities metro.
Our licensed and insured team brings over 35 years of trade expertise to every project, delivering free estimates, transparent upfront pricing, and 24/7 emergency service backed by a lifetime workmanship warranty on every installation and repair we complete.
Whether you are replacing an aging flat roof or repairing a failing EPDM membrane, working with an experienced commercial roofing contractor ensures the job is done correctly the first time. Improper installation or patching is one of the leading causes of recurring leaks and premature membrane failure on commercial properties.
Avalanche Home Services takes a precise, detail-oriented approach to every EPDM project, from full system installation to targeted membrane repairs and seam restoration. We provide honest assessments, competitive pricing, and the same standard of craftsmanship on every commercial roofing job regardless of size or scope.
EPDM is engineered to handle what Minnesota’s climate delivers year after year. Its rubber membrane flexes through freeze-thaw cycles without cracking, sheds water efficiently, and resists UV degradation over decades of exposure. When installed correctly by an experienced commercial roofing team, an EPDM system delivers reliable, low-maintenance protection for your commercial property for 20 to 30 years or more.
EPDM roofing systems are built to last, but no roofing system is immune to the effects of time, weather, and deferred maintenance. Catching problems early is the most cost-effective way to extend the life of your EPDM roof and avoid interior damage that compounds quickly once water finds its way in. If your commercial property is showing any of the following warning signs, contact us to schedule a free inspection:

EPDM stands for ethylene propylene diene monomer, a synthetic rubber membrane commonly used on flat and low-slope commercial roofs. It is installed in large sheets that are either fully adhered, mechanically fastened, or held in place with ballast. The membrane creates a seamless, watertight barrier that flexes through temperature changes without cracking, making it a particularly reliable choice for Minnesota’s climate with its extreme seasonal temperature swings.
A properly installed EPDM roofing system typically lasts between 20 and 30 years depending on the installation method, membrane thickness, and how well the system is maintained over time. Thicker membranes and fully adhered installations generally offer the best long-term performance. Regular inspections, prompt repairs to seams and flashings, and keeping drains clear are the most effective ways to maximize the lifespan of an EPDM roof.
EPDM repairs typically involve cleaning the damaged area, applying a specialized bonding adhesive, and patching with compatible EPDM membrane material. Seam repairs use seam tape or liquid membrane products designed specifically for EPDM systems. Proper surface preparation is critical to a lasting repair. Attempting EPDM repairs without the right materials or technique often results in patches that fail quickly, which is why professional repair is strongly recommended.
Yes. EPDM is one of the best-performing flat roofing systems in cold climates. Its rubber composition remains flexible in low temperatures, allowing it to expand and contract through freeze-thaw cycles without developing cracks or splits that plague more rigid roofing materials. It also sheds water effectively during snowmelt events and holds up well under the weight of accumulated snow when properly installed and maintained throughout the winter season.
Both EPDM and modified bitumen are effective flat roofing systems suited for Minnesota’s climate, but they differ in composition, installation method, and performance characteristics. EPDM is a single-ply rubber membrane known for flexibility and longevity. Modified bitumen is an asphalt-based system applied in multiple layers, offering excellent waterproofing and puncture resistance. The right choice depends on your building’s specific needs, budget, and existing roof structure, which we assess during every free estimate.

Mike and his team were great to work with. Mike communicated with us through out the entire process and didn’t turn away a single question. We noticed a portion of our sliding glass door didn’t get caulked and the team was out here in a matter of hours to get it fixed- GREAT customer service. We couldn’t be happier with our new siding, and have gotten tons of compliments from neighbors. If you’re looking for an honest, hard working team to update your home exterior, go with Avalanche- you won’t regret it.

I have worked with the Avalanche team as a service provider on several projects, they have been very easy to communicate with, payment has always been on time and painless. I’ve seen the homes they’ve transformed, before and after and will not hesitate to have them work on my personal home when the need arises.

I Just wanted to stop by and give you my review of this company! This is by far the best contractor I have ever encountered, the owner took his time to learn about my project and delivered what he guaranteed. They communicated at every step and if something came up, he would be the first to contact you and keep you in the loop. This company is one of the only ones I have ever seen that helps the community as they do and stands behind all they do. They are priced fairly and help no matter how small or large the job is. I stand behind this company % and you should to. Marissa
