EPDM Rubber Roofing in Godfrey and the Riverbend
EPDM (Ethylene Propylene Diene Monomer) is the original commercial single-ply rubber membrane and still the right choice for many commercial roofs in Godfrey and across the Riverbend. Long service life, well-understood failure modes, and a deep installer base in Madison County. Trill Roofing installs new EPDM systems, repairs aging membranes, and replaces EPDM with current-spec TPO or EPDM when conditions warrant. 60-mil and 90-mil thicknesses. Mechanically fastened, fully adhered, or ballasted depending on building exposure.
EPDM vs TPO for Godfrey Commercial Roofs
The TPO-vs-EPDM choice depends on building use, exposure, and ownership timeline. Trill helps Godfrey building owners size the system to the situation.
- EPDM color: Black absorbs solar heat, a winter advantage in Illinois. White or light-gray EPDM available but less common.
- EPDM seams: Cured-tape or liquid-applied seam splice. Failure mode is seam separation over time, more so than membrane field failure.
- EPDM service life: 60-mil systems often deliver 25-30 years in the Riverbend with annual inspection. 90-mil systems push longer.
- Ballasted EPDM: Used on Godfrey buildings where wind uplift is the dominant concern. Gravel or pavers hold the membrane down without through-fasteners.
- Repair-friendliness: EPDM is among the easier single-ply systems to field-repair. Patches and seam re-splices accept fresh material readily, useful for older Madison County buildings still under EPDM.
- Recyclability: EPDM is recyclable at end of life through manufacturer programs.

Great business to work with. My house, garage and studio now have matching shingles on the roof. Guttering was added to the house. Prompt service and fair pricing.

I am very pleased with the total roof replacement and attic vents installation completed last week by Andy’s crew. Andy was reachable and responsive through the entire process! No question was too big or small! His crew had to stay an unplanned … More second day because of the steepness of my roof. There was not an ounce of frustration shown. I am pleased with the workmanship of his crew! They worked non-stop for two days, well into the evenings! At the end, I noticed a couple things to tweak and they did it without question or hesitation. I would highly recommend them!

Trill Roofing went above and beyond on our roof. I have an old house. The roof had been untouched for many years. Much of the sheathing had to be replaced as well as rafters. In a time when it’s hard to get contractors to show up, … More Trill Roofing was on site, working on my roof exactly when they said they would start. They explained the process and answered all of my questions. I learned a lot about roofing systems.
I look forward to working with Trill on my upcoming siding and gutter projects. -
Andy, at Trill Roofing, is awesome to work with. We had storm damage, which insurance denied. Andy went the distance, he took multiple pictures which confirmed the damage, sent them to the insurance, and they finally approved roof replacement. … More None of the other roofing companies did that. They did an awesome job! Very quick and efficient. We highly recommend them.
