EPDM, the black rubber membrane, has half a century of track record on commercial roofs, and plenty of Frisco buildings are wearing it right now.
EPDM makes its case on longevity and repairability. The rubber membrane tolerates decades of weather, and repairs are straightforward for crews who know the system. Its black surface soaks up Texas heat, which is a real operating cost in Frisco, so new installs often look at TPO first while existing EPDM roofs frequently earn repair and restoration over replacement.
We give free written estimates and document every inspection with photos. Deductibles are never waived, per Texas law, and Cedar Crest is not a public adjuster.
Keeping EPDM Roofs Working in Frisco
Frisco’s storm history is the main reason EPDM owners here should keep a maintenance schedule. Hail of an inch or larger has fallen within 8 miles on 47 days since 2006, and golf-ball-size or bigger on 22 of them. The largest recorded stone, on March 24, 2019, measured 4.5 inches. Rubber flexes under impact better than brittle materials, but hail can still damage seams, flashings, and the membrane where it sits over insulation, so we check those details and photograph them after a storm.
Repair keeps a proven roof in service, and that is usually the first thing we price on an existing EPDM system. Frisco sits in Collin County with a median housing build year of 2009. Our EPDM crews cover Prosper and Plano as well.

How old Frisco homes are
Frisco is young by roofing standards: the median home was built in 2009, and 47% of its 80,353 housing units date to 2010 or later. Many of those homes still have the roof the builder installed, now working through its first hail seasons.

Common questions about epdm roofing in Frisco
Is EPDM outdated compared to TPO in Frisco?
No, different trade-offs. EPDM has the longest single-ply track record and repairs well; its black surface absorbs heat that white TPO reflects. Existing EPDM in sound condition usually argues for maintenance, not replacement.
How long does EPDM last?
Decades. Well-maintained EPDM commonly reaches twenty-five to thirty years, and restoration coatings can extend sound membranes further.
Is upgrading from builder-grade shingles worth it in Frisco?
Usually at the first replacement or claim: Class 4 impact-rated systems earn many Texas carriers' premium discounts, and newer communities' HOA standards generally approve them easily. The math works hardest on homes facing decades of DFW hail.
How often does hail hit Frisco?
NOAA's Storm Events Database lists 47 days since 2006 with hail one inch or larger reported within 8 miles of Frisco, including 22 days with golf ball size stones or bigger. Hail that size was reported in 15 of the last 20 years. The most recent report was 2-inch hail on June 2, 2026.
How old are most homes in Frisco?
The median home in Frisco was built in 2009, according to the U.S. Census Bureau's American Community Survey. 2% of the city's housing units predate 1980 and 47% were built in 2010 or later. Many homes here still have their original builder-installed roof.
