A leaky sunroom ceiling is easy to ignore until the stains keep growing. That is when Amador of Fargo, ND, called Vita Roofing. In March 2026, our inspector Joe visited his home for a free estimate and a full roof inspection. Joe evaluated the flat roof carefully, explained what he found, and walked Amador through his options, including the different flat roofing systems available for residential properties.
Joe's recommendation was a cured rubber EPDM membrane. Unlike older built-up roofing, which relies on layers of felt and tar that add weight over time, EPDM is a single-ply rubber roofing material that is flexible and durable. Its cured rubber construction resists UV radiation and handles extreme temperature swings without becoming brittle, which makes it a smart fit for North Dakota weather. The membrane is glued to the roof substrate and to adjacent EPDM sections, and mechanical fasteners are also an option.
EPDM does have one trait worth knowing about: its dark color absorbs a lot of heat. A reflective top coating is recommended to extend the life of the roof and help reduce cooling costs, and some homeowners choose an EPDM membrane with a white top layer instead. Vita Roofing serves Fargo, West Fargo, Moorhead, Grand Forks, and nearby communities. Reach out for a free flat roof quote today.
