Oh I see. So, this rubber roof thing is for new roof; not for fixing leak on existing roof.

Hi guys,

Thanks for the "rubber" roof suggestion.

Sorry to ask but...
What is a "rubber" roof?

When my neighbor re-did his roof, the guy used some sort of torch to
melt the paper thingy and then he patched the paper to the roof just
like a bandage.

I've seen many people use this kind of melting paper thing for new roof
now. Are these any good than the old boiling hot tar thing?


EDPM rubber roof involves no torches, just the material, seam tape, lap
sealer and joint caulking. you would need to flash any protrusions with
rubber. Find a specialist. Study on the internet so you can have an
intelligent discussion. Get references[like jobs that are over 3 years old]
