EPDM, the black rubber membrane, has half a century of track record on commercial roofs, and plenty of Lewisville buildings are wearing it right now.
EPDM’s argument is proven longevity and straightforward repair: the rubber tolerates decades of weather, and crews who know the system can patch it cleanly. Its black surface absorbs Texas heat, which is a real operating cost in Lewisville, so new installs often weigh TPO first while existing EPDM roofs frequently earn repair and restoration instead of replacement.
Estimates are free and in writing, inspections come with photos, deductibles are never waived under Texas law, and Cedar Crest is not a public adjuster.
Repair or replace: EPDM decisions in Lewisville
Hail changes the math on a rubber roof. Lewisville has recorded golf-ball hail or larger on 14 days since 2006 within a 7-mile radius, and the biggest stone reached 3.0 inches on June 11, 2023. Impact damage on single-ply does not always show on a walk, so we document the membrane, seams and flashings with photos after storms rather than guessing. For owners weighing a restoration, that record also shows whether the sheet has life left.
The city’s growth, with 63 percent of homes built from 1980 through 2009, left plenty of roofs across Lewisville at the age where this decision comes up. Our Denton County crews do the same EPDM work in The Colony and Lake Dallas.

Common questions about epdm roofing in Lewisville
Is EPDM outdated compared to TPO in Lewisville?
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.
Do you install this on shops and outbuildings near Lewisville?
Yes. Barns, workshops, and outbuildings are first-class projects out here, not afterthoughts, and the material conversation (usually metal-forward) covers them alongside the house.
How often does hail hit Lewisville?
