Project Spotlight: Rubber Roof Repair for a Gym & Sports Club in Westchester, NY
At George’s Seamless Gutters, we’re known for our expert water management solutions, from gutters to flat roof repairs. Recently, we were called out to perform a rubber roof repair on a large EPDM flat roof covering a popular gym and sports club in Westchester, NY.
While the roof still has some life left, the owners needed a quick and effective solution to address a problem area, and we were happy to provide a 20×20 patch repair that will extend the roof’s performance.
EPDM rubber roofing is one of the most durable and long-lasting flat roofing materials, making it a top choice for commercial buildings like gyms, sports clubs, and retail centers. However, even the best roofs require occasional maintenance and repairs—especially in Westchester’s harsh climate, where snow, rain, and fluctuating temperatures can take a toll.
At George’s Seamless Gutters, we specialize in rubber roof repair and flat roofing solutions for both commercial and residential properties. Our team has completed countless EPDM and flat roof repair projects across Westchester County, ensuring leak-free, high-performance results.
“As a gutter company, we’re water management specialists—so naturally, our expertise extends to flat and rubber roof repairs. Our team understands how water moves, collects, and impacts a building, which makes us uniquely qualified to handle complex flat roof repairs, especially on large commercial buildings like this gym.”

For this project, our team performed a thorough inspection of the affected area, identifying the best way to reinforce the roof without causing disruption to the business. Here’s how we handled the repair:
Inspection & Damage Assessment: We pinpointed the source of the problem—an area where the membrane had weakened over time.
Surface Preparation: We thoroughly cleaned the area to ensure proper adhesion of the patch.
Application of Seam Tape & Overlays: We installed a 20x20 EPDM patch to reinforce the damaged section, ensuring a watertight seal.
Sealing & Finishing: The area was carefully sealed to prevent future leaks and ensure long-term durability.
Final Inspection: Before wrapping up, we conducted a post-repair inspection to verify that the patch was properly secured and the roof was ready to withstand the elements.
Key benefits of EPDM rubber roofs:
Weather Resistant: Withstands extreme temperatures, heavy rain, and snow.
Low Maintenance: Requires minimal upkeep compared to traditional roofing materials.
Easily Repairable: Unlike shingle or metal roofs, EPDM repairs are relatively simple and cost-effective.
Energy Efficient: Reflective coatings can be applied to improve insulation and reduce cooling costs.
