Ariel Roofing installs, restores, and repairs epdm roofing on commercial buildings across Fort Lauderdale and Broward County. Rubber membrane roofing — simple, forgiving, and long-proven on large low-slope roofs. Ballasted EPDM is a poor fit in hurricane country — loose ballast becomes windborne debris. On South Florida buildings we use adhered or engineered-attachment EPDM only, and only where the uplift design supports it. Expected service life: 20–30 years.
Fort Lauderdale Considerations
- Hurricane design pressures, intense afternoon rain, and coastal salt exposure that is brutal on edge metal and exposed fasteners.
- Broward County's building code is also HVHZ-governed; re-roof permits require approved products, engineered attachment, and progress inspections before cover.
What's Included
- Ballasted, mechanically attached, and fully adhered assemblies
- Black and white membrane options
- Large sheet sizes mean fewer seams on wide-open roofs
- Easy, inexpensive field repairs decades into service life
- Handles extreme temperature swings without getting brittle
How EPDM Roofing Actually Performs
EPDM is a cured rubber sheet rather than a welded thermoplastic, so seams are made with tape and adhesive. It is forgiving, cheap to repair, and has the longest real-world track record of any single-ply. Age shows up at the seams and at flashings long before the field membrane gives out, which makes it a strong candidate for restoration instead of replacement.
Why It Matters In Fort Lauderdale
Ballasted EPDM is a poor fit in hurricane country — loose ballast becomes windborne debris. On South Florida buildings we use adhered or engineered-attachment EPDM only, and only where the uplift design supports it. Broward County offices, marine-industrial, and hospitality rooftops. Downtown, Las Olas, Flagler Village, Port Everglades, Marine industrial along SR-84, Oakland Park, and the Cypress Creek office corridor.
The Buildings We Install It On In Fort Lauderdale
Downtown and Las Olas office buildings, marine and light-industrial along the New River and SR-84, hotel and condo decks along the beach, and 1970s–90s strip retail on tired mod-bit and gravel built-up.
Where We'd Recommend Something Else
Black EPDM on a cooling-dominated building adds rooftop heat you will pay for every month. If reflectivity matters to your energy numbers, we quote white EPDM or a thermoplastic instead.
What The Proposal Includes
Infrared moisture scan results, deck and insulation condition, tapered drainage design where it is needed, attachment and flashing detail, phasing plan around your operations, warranty terms, and a fixed price. No allowances that turn into change orders once the roof is open.

FAQ
Frequently Asked Questions
Do you install epdm roofing in Fort Lauderdale, FL?
Yes. Ariel Roofing installs and repairs epdm roofing on commercial buildings throughout Fort Lauderdale and Broward County. Ballasted EPDM is a poor fit in hurricane country — loose ballast becomes windborne debris. On South Florida buildings we use adhered or engineered-attachment EPDM only, and only where the uplift design supports it.
How long does epdm roofing last in Fort Lauderdale?
20–30 years is the realistic service range when the system is installed to the manufacturer's detail and maintained. In Fort Lauderdale, hurricane design pressures, intense afternoon rain, and coastal salt exposure that is brutal on edge metal and exposed fasteners. That exposure — not the sheet itself — is what determines whether you reach the top or the bottom of that range.
What does a epdm roofing project cost in Fort Lauderdale?
We don't quote commercial roofing by the square over the phone. Price depends on deck type, existing insulation and how wet it is, tapered drainage design, rooftop equipment, access, and phasing around your tenants. We scan and measure the roof first, then hand you a fixed-price scope you can compare line for line.
Do you handle permits and inspections in Fort Lauderdale?
Every assembly we install in Fort Lauderdale carries current Florida product approval or a Miami-Dade Notice of Acceptance for your building's design pressures, and we pull the permit and meet the inspections through the local building department.
Can you work around our tenants and operating hours?
Yes. Most of our Fort Lauderdale commercial work is phased — after-hours tear-off, weekend lifts, and section-by-section dry-in so no part of the building is ever left open overnight.
Should we repair, restore, or replace?
We give every owner all three numbers. An infrared scan tells us how much insulation is wet. Under roughly a quarter, restoration usually buys 10–15 years at a fraction of replacement. Above that — or with a compromised deck — replacement is the cheaper decision over five years.
