EPDM is also known as ethylene propylene diene monomer, and has gained popularity and industry-wide acceptance by providing immediate and long-term roofing solutions. EPDM is made of advanced rubber material making it easy to work with and also produces minimal odor and fumes. EPDM roofing options are made of single-ply membranes and have continuously evolved into one of the most sustainable and desirable roofing products available to date. Making it an obvious favorite for residential homeowners and commercial business owners alike. Lightweight enough for residential use, and durable enough to withstand the needs of commercial properties, EPDM is relatively cost-effective

1845RM EPDM roofing systems are incredibly durable and puncture resistant, built to withstand the extreme weather conditions that our East Texas residents face, for up to 25 years!

Flat Roofing

Flat roofing is usually the best option for commercial buildings and large businesses. This is due to multiple different factors such as;  

 

  • Easier to maintain, creating a safer work environment for our contractors
  • Easier access, connected by a stairwell, making it much easier to transport equipment and materials.
  • Storage or entertainment space; for some businesses flat roofs can give the option of having a space for entertaining clients or customers. 
  • Lower installation costs; faster to install which means less labor, and more money in your pocket! 
  • Better for fire safety; the structure of this type of roof is constructed with steel vs wood. 
  • Best use of space; from your floor to your ceiling a flat roof gives you the ability to utilize every square inch of space available. 

Better for HVAC installation; with flat roofing you are able to place your air conditioner and/or heater directly on your roof. Which is usually virtually impossible if you currently have a slanted roof.

Shingle Roofing Options

At 1845RM we carry the most up to date shingle options available because we know the popularity they hold. Coming in a variety of shapes, textures, and colors making them architecturally (and aesthetically)  pleasing to any homeowner. And in hot climates such as those we face here in East Texas, shingle roofs are built to withstand not just the heat, but fire damage and algae growth as well. Many homeowners can expect their shingled roofs to last around 20 years. 

Asphalt Shingles

Asphalt shingles are the most standard and popular roofing material used.

This is mainly due to the fact that they are affordable and long-lasting. 1845RM provides our clients with shingles built to last. We look for exceptional track records, proven to withstand extreme and fluctuating weather conditions. Available with an extended guarantee or a lifetime warranty depending on the selected brand. Asphalt shingles are a solid option for our East Texas homeowners

Composition Asphalt And Fiberglass Shingles

These types of shingles are manufactured with glass fibers and mineral granules. These fiberglass composition shingles are much lighter than the asphalt shingles listed above and are also less expensive. Fiberglass shingles also offer homeowners improved heat resistance and are well suited for older homes, to new construction builds.

Tile Roofing System

If you are looking for an appealing alternative to a traditional roof, look no further than installing a tile roof! Tile roofs offer your home or property the energy efficiency and durability that you need when facing cold or windy climates. Tile roofing provides superior protection from water and ice due to its interlock installation technique. This technique makes it virtually impossible for the outside elements to penetrate. Suitable for almost any surface, 1845RM tile roofing is provided to you in a variety of styles, shapes, colors, and configurations to create a unique architectural style, to enhance any home! These roofs also generally require less maintenance as well, making it a fan favorite. 

Our tile roofing material options include;

  • Shake Roofing 
  • Slate Roofing
  • Concrete Roofing
  • Composition Tile Roofing

White Membrane Roofing Systems

WMR is also known as white membrane roofing, is a single-ply roofing fixture that is installed over your existing roof, and provides superior solar reflectivity and exceptional energy savings. This technology is able to help cool buildings, and homes during the unbearable summer heat with the ability to also hold heat during the winter months. White membrane roofing is a thermoplastic white composite covering made of lightweight material, making it easy to install on any surface. 

Benefits of WMR include; 

  • Durable 
  • Lightweight
