Why Choose Flat Roofing?
Flat roofing has become a preferred choice for both commercial and residential properties, thanks to its combination of durability, efficiency, and low life cycle cost. Among the most advanced solutions available today are EPDM roofing membranes, also known as rubber roofing. These highly durable membranes, such as RubberCover EPDM membranes, provide a reliable roofing system that stands up to extreme weather conditions, including intense UV rays and ozone exposure.
Unlike traditional felt roofing, EPDM roofing offers a lightweight, flexible, and environmentally friendly alternative that requires minimal maintenance over its impressive life expectancy—often up to 50 years. This makes EPDM roofing an excellent investment for businesses and homeowners seeking a long-lasting, efficient, and cost-effective solution for their flat roof needs.
At County Roofing, we strive to deliver the highest quality EPDM roofing membranes and materials, ensuring fast delivery and a comprehensive range to match every project requirement.

When Did Firestone Roofing Products Change Its Name?
In June 2022 the Holcim Group, one of the world’s largest building materials manufacturers, purchased Firestone Building Products. While Holcim has changed the name to Elevate Roofing Products, it remains committed to durability and performance. Firestone offers a range of roofing products, including EPDM, TPO, and Modified Bitumen systems.
Holcim has continued Firestone’s commitment to excellence and has a special interest in sustainable, eco-friendly roofing solutions.

A Brief Guide to Elevate Roofing Products
EPDM Roofing by Elevate
EPDM (ethylene propylene diene monomer) is a type of synthetic rubber widely used in roofing due to its exceptional durability and flexibility. Because of those strengths, roofers commonly use EPDM as a single-ply membrane. Its robust performance in various environmental conditions makes it an ideal choice for both residential and commercial flat roofs
In 1980 Firestone introduced RubberGard™, the industry’s premium-grade EPDM roofing membrane. Today many EPDM installations rely on RubberGard for its durability, flexibility, and UV resistance. Elevate continues to produce several varieties of RubberGard. What’s more, it also offers adhesives, sealants, flashing strips and splice tape for EPDM roofs.
Firestone TPO Roofing
EPDM (ethylene propylene diene monomer) is a type of synthetic rubber widely used in roofing due to its exceptional durability and flexibility.
EPDM roofing systems are seamless and come in one piece, which reduces the time and effort it takes for roofing contractors to install this roofing material. Large EPDM sheets minimize the need for field seaming, simplifying installation and improving system integrity on flat roofs.
EPDM flat roofing membranes are manufactured from a synthetic rubber compound and have been used on commercial and industrial roofing worldwide for more than 25 years. The unique compound of EPDM membranes brings flexibility and durability to flat roofing products with a low life-cycle cost, as it requires little or no maintenance over its expected lifespan of 50 years plus.
EPDM roofing systems can also be combined with other roofing systems, such as spray polyurethane foam, to enhance durability and performance. The smooth surface of EPDM roofing does not easily attract moss, helping to maintain a clean and durable roof.

Roofing insulation does more than just keep your home’s temperature regulated. On a conventional sloped roof, water runs down to the gutters and downspout. Accordingly, flat roof insulation boards are gently tapered to produce a 1″ per foot slope. This helps prevent puddling that could damage your roof decking and cause leaks in your home.
Elevate continues to produce Polyiso (polyisocyanurate) boards that provide maximum insulation along with the highest standards of fire resistance. You’ll find roof insulation to meet the needs of any residential flat roof.

Roofing insulation does more than just keep your home’s temperature regulated. On a conventional sloped roof, water runs down to the gutters and downspout. Accordingly, flat roof insulation boards are gently tapered to produce a 1″ per foot slope. This helps prevent puddling that could damage your roof decking and cause leaks in your home.
Before installing insulation, the roof deck must be dry, clean, and free of dust, oil, or loose material for proper surface preparation. Insulation installation requires approved insulation to be secured to the deck using mechanical fasteners or adhesive. It is important to use a sufficient thickness of insulation and membrane to meet building codes and ensure long-term durability.

How We Install a Residential Flat Roof
1. Inspection
We examine your existing roof to determine what must be removed. If your roof is is good shape, we might add another layer to extend its lifespan. But if your flat roof has serious issues or is more than 20 years old, we will need to do a full flat roof replacement.
2. Removal
To start a new installation, we strip away the old roofing materials. If necessary, we replace rotting or warped roof deck boards. We also check to make sure your framing can handle the weight of your new roof and install any necessary additional joists and beans.
3. Insulation
After we have stripped off your old roof, we apply a leak barrier to shield the roof deck from water. Then we lay down another layer of protection, an underlayment. The underlayment adds an extra layer of protection against water infiltration and creates a smooth surface for your shingles.
4. Waterproofing
If we are doing an asphalt flat roof, we apply layers of bitumen tar and felt to seal the roof against water. Afterward, for EPDM or TPO roofs, we waterproof by laying out rubber membrane and attaching it with a water-based adhesive.
5. Flashing
Thin metal strips (flashing) help seal off your roof against leaks and ensure proper water runoff. We apply flashing around chimneys, vents, and skylights to prevent water infiltration.
6. Final Inspection
Before we call the job complete, we inspect the job site thoroughly. To that end, we make sure there are no gaps, loose materials, or any other potential issues. When we leave, we know that the roof is fully watertight and ready to withstand Long Island’s worst weather.
7. Maintenance
Flat roofs require regular maintenance to ensure their longevity. Accordingly, you will need to keep the drains clear of debris to avoid puddling. You will also need annual checkups to catch any minor damage before it becomes a major problem.
