One of the major challenges facing roofing contractors today is a shortage of skilled labor that limits the number of projects they can complete in a given year.
EPDM single-ply roofing membranes became increasingly popular in the 1970s as the price of asphalt-based roofs increased and the quality of available asphalt lowered.
