@Donald Placide where in New Jersey is the meeting?

Thanks Dave

@Latasha Phillips welcome I am also from North NJ. I joined about a month ago.

@Brent Cullipher It is all about the application having the right roofing contractor. I am in the north east the roofs have to hold up to sun, ice and snow. I physical have installed both roofs they will both hold up if done correctly. I am certified in both TPO and EPDM.

Sorry I finally figured out how to tag . @Jake Landry  @Manuel Sarabia 

@Jake Landry I am sorry EPDM is just as good as TPO. I have done thousand of roofing squares with both TPO and EPDM it is a matter of application. If the seams are not welded corrected they leak, same goes for the Epdm if the seams are not installed correctly they leak. The manufactures both offer 20 year Warrenty also Epdm comes in white just like TPO. I would recommend finding a certified installer of either TPO or EPDM.

I agree.  Happy tenants pay. I would alway handle electrical and plumbing issues even if they seem small.

My previous business was a roofing and construction company. We specialized in flat roofs and did hot tar and gravel up until 2004. The tar and gravel is a great roof when it is new, but in this day and age I would go with a TPO or EPDM rubber roof. They are more maintenance friendlier than a tar roof. The price of building a pitch roof and than shingling it will cost a lot more than flat roof. It is very important you have flat roofing contractor do the work and not just a residential roofing contractor.

@Jeff Tracey Did you find a contractor if not? Maybe I could help some how. I am a contractor from north NJ. I have done a lot work near Middletown NY. 

Thank you,

Dave
