If you’re not sure whether you need a certified professional to replace your RV’s roof, we’re here to go into all the details of why it’s a good idea. Owning an RV opens up a world of adventure, combining the thrill of the open road with the comforts of home. But as much joy and excitement as RV ownership brings, it also comes with responsibilities, especially when it comes to maintenance. One crucial aspect of keeping your RV road-ready and safe is ensuring the roof is in top condition. However, when it comes time for a roof maintenance or replacement, you might wonder whether to take on the challenge yourself or turn to experienced professionals? Follow along as we explain why consulting & hiring certified professionals for your RV roof replacement is a smart move. You’ll learn about the risks of DIY repairs, the long-term benefits of professional services, and why choosing certified experts is a decision worth every penny. Why Your RV Roof Deserves the Best Care Your RV roof isn’t just a structural component; it’s your protection against the elements. At RV Roofing Solutions, we understand that Mother Nature doesn’t hold back when it comes to testing the durability of your RV roof. With rain, sun, snow, and wind relentlessly pounding on your investment, keeping your roof in tip-top shape is crucial. Over time, wear and tear are unavoidable, and neglecting roof issues can spiral into costly problems, like water damage and mold, not to mention a drop in your RV’s resale value. A solid and well-maintained roof translates to safety, comfort, and peace of mind on every trip. This is especially important if you frequently park your RV in harsh weather conditions or plan extended cross-country adventures. The Risks of Going the DIY Route At RV Roofing Solutions, we understand that your RV deserves only the best. That's why we offer top-notch aftermarket roofing systems and repairs that exceed industry standards, ensuring your roof is not just functional but also reliable. Our mobile installers are trained by our team. They come to you, making the process seamless and hassle-free. Plus, with our maintenance-free options, you can enjoy your travels without worrying about roof upkeep. Let us help you protect your investment and keep your adventures rolling! Unfortunately we see people attempt DIY rv roofing ALL the time. Often when people notice problems with an RV roof, they are tempted to grab some tools, watch a quick tutorial, and start fixing things. After all, how hard could it be? Unfortunately, DIY roof replacement or repair often does more harm than good, and we often see it's affects first hand. RV roofs are made with specialized materials like TPO, EPDM, or fiberglass. Identifying the right materials and correctly applying the right products can be challenging. Missteps can leave your roof susceptible to leaks or structural issues down the road. This can be as simple as using the wrong caulk for a peel and seal or trusting the latest and greatest fad. Fast immediate fixes with tape are sometimes necessary but tape shouldn't be a long term solution. UV rays can hrink even the best industry trusted tape leving tiny pathways where water might be getting in. And in this case, what you don't know CAN hurt your RV. RV roofing requires both precision and skill. Even a slight oversight, such as inadequate sealing or poor alignment, can compromise your roof’s integrity. What seems like a “job well done” today could lead to bigger problems tomorrow. Using a product to simply coat the roof can be daunting and often the final product flakes off for any number of reasons. This can lead to more costly repairs in the future. DIY fixes can even void any warranties on your RV. Manufacturers typically require certified professionals to perform repairs to maintain warranty validity. By going DIY, you risk losing a safety net for future repair costs. What Sets Certified Professionals Apart Certified RV repair professionals stand out for their knowledge, training, and commitment to quality service. They understand the intricate details of RV construction and roofing materials. This expertise minimizes the risk of future damage while allowing for a job that’s done right the first time. Most certified professionals have undergone rigorous training programs to gain their credentials. These programs cover RV-specific roofing materials, waterproofing techniques, and structural assessments. When you choose certified repair services, you’re trusting someone who knows the ins and outs of RV roofs—not just general construction. At RV Roofing Solutions, we know a non-certified fix might seem like a wallet-friendly choice at first glance, but the truth is that it can lead to costly repairs later on. Imagine discovering leaks or structural issues after a quick fix – suddenly, those savings evaporate. Quality Matters When It Comes to Material One of the lesser-known perks of hiring certified professionals is access to high-quality, industry-approved materials. Many general roofing supplies simply aren’t compatible with the unique design and demands of an RV roof. These materials not only create a strong roof but also contribute to greater energy efficiency and reduced maintenance over time. In most cases you simply cannot buy professional grade RV roofing products in stores. Deciding what to buy if you do a DIY coating is also daunting. All products are certainly not created equal. Beyond the materials themselves, the application process is equally important. Certified professionals follow exacting standards to ensure every layer is installed perfectly. From proper insulation to seamless waterproofing, their work reflects craftsmanship you can rely on. They Save You Time and Headache Maintaining or fixing an RV roof is an involved process that often takes many days of effort, especially when you’re navigating it solo. An RV Roofing Solutions professionally trained installer, typically takes a MINIMUM of 3 days to complete a standard install. In addition, certified professionals streamline the process while minimizing disruption to your day or to your travel plans Their experience allows them to work efficiently without sacrificing quality. From start to finish, certified repair teams follow a well-coordinated process. This includes thoroughly inpecting &cleaning roof, addressing any underlying structural issues, and installing the replacement material—using quality products and methods Meanwhile, hiring an expert saves you the stress of troubleshooting and trial-and-error techniques. At RV Roofing Solutions, we understand that your RV deserves only the best. That's why we offer top-notch aftermarket roofing systems and repairs that meet & exceed industry standards, ensuring your roof is not just functional but also reliable. Our mobile installers come to you, this means you don't have to drop it off to a shop and get it back weeks sor months later. This makes our insstall process seamless and hassle-free. Plus, with our maintenance-free options, you can enjoy your travels without worrying about roof upkeep. Let us help you protect your investment and keep your adventures rolling! Wouldn’t you rather focus on planning your next road trip than worrying about mistakes in your roof repair Warranty Protection Built-In Your RV is a significant investment, and protecting it is paramount. Hiring certified professionals ensures that your replacement roof comes with proper warranty coverage. That's why we offer a 10 year warranty on every roof we install our system on You want to be protected from a taillight guarantee. The only way to avoid the taillight guarantee is to do your homework before selecting a company. Yes, we know that it’s hard to find the time to research each company and their product. But if you don’t do your homework, and the work is not supported, you could run into trouble that’s not in your budget. Repair costs could easily exceed the savings by going with the lowest bid. Even if a non-certified fix seems cost-effective upfront, you could end up shouldering major repair expenses down the line. We had a client a few years back that ran into this. He had spent around $5,000.00 and thought his roof was fixed. He was in his late 70's and had not inspected the roof after the job by the other "reputable" company was complete. When his roof leaked and he called us just a year later he could not get that company to even pick up the phone to respond to his calls or reply to an email. His Newmar was outfitted for his wife's wheelchair and he couldn't go visit his kids. The damage the other company did was almost twice what they charged him. He needed all 10 sheets of his decking replaced. Unfortunately Bob's story is not as uncommon as you might think. Many certified RV technicians are authorized by manufacturers and service providers to perform warranty-backed work. There is a vetting process and quality control built right into the installation. That doesn't mean each independant contractor not partnered with a company like ours backs up their work. RV roofing Solutions installers sign an agreement that they will come back and fix your roof for FREE for 12 months past the installaion date. Then we as a company give you a full 10 year warranty. This ensures your new roof and repairs come with the quality control & coverage for years to come, giving you peace of mind We know there are companies out there offering a "lifetime" guarantee. We have also been around long enough to know that nothing last a lifetime. What many of those companies bank on is that you'll upgrade sooner that the warranty or they have clauses to get them out of honoring that warranty. At RV Roofing Solutions there is no fine print or hidden terms & conditions that you can only allowed to see after the work has been completed. The Long-Term Cost Benefit While hiring certified professionals may seem like a bigger upfront expense, it’s a worthwhile investment that saves you money in the long run. Proper materials and installation dramatically reduce the likelihood of premature repairs. You also avoid hidden issues like subpar insulation or water damage Furthermore, a properly maintained RV roof can increase resale value. Prospective buyers are often willing to pay a premium for an RV with a professionally replaced roof, as it conveys meticulous care and reliability. With an RV Roofing Solutions Complete system you get a 10 year trasferable warranty. This adds value to your RV and makes a professsionally installed roof a worthy investment. The Role of Customer Service Another perk of working with certified professionals is the high standard of customer service. From the moment you make an inquiry to the day your roof is complete, quality service providers prioritize your experience Our experienced office team will provide a one-on-one consultation, review photos and make sure you are informed at every step. Once your Install team is on-site they are our field experts, taking the time to explain their process and answer questions. If you ever have a question beyond that, you can always reach out to your assigned service advisor. In fact, if you see your technician on the phone... chances are they are checking in with the home office. Their service avisor is with your install team at every step of the install. They aim to provide not just a maintenance free rv roofing but also peace of mind. That peace of mind is invaluable when it comes to being out on the open road, knowing that your RV is in tip-top shape When It’s Time To Act If you suspect your RV roof needs attention, don’t delay. In fact, over 60% of our clients have our system installed BEFORE they ever have a leak. You can easily choose to have our system installed when you are due for their annual peel & seal as an alternative. Get a quote now and lock in the base price of a future install. Small issues can quickly snowball into costly problems- a pinhole leak can cause catastrophic damage if left unchecked. The sooner you address them, the sooner you can get back to enjoying your adventures worry-free Whether you are ready now or just want some information about our system or how to hire certified professionals for RV roof repairs or replacements, we are here to help you navigate that.

Can you believe we are already 9 whole days into 2025? We have been asked a few times now where are we headed in 2025. And like a sailors plans, as RV'ers our plans are sometimes written in sand.... at low tide. Slowly & surely our 2025 event calendar is coming together and it looks like it's going to be quite a year! Unfortunately we can't always attend every rally or event we are in invited to... but we try! Whats the difference between going to an RV Show and attending a rally? So the biggest difference between an RV show and a rally is our services at that event. The FRVTA Florida Supershow is an obvious example of an RV show. When we attend a show like this we typically do a one on one consultation about your RV roof at the booth. We discuss your maintenance schedule, the condition of the roof, the age of the unit and, if your roof is in good condition, the benefits of our maintenane free RV Roofing system in lieu of an annual peel and seal. At a show we will often have a "show special" to save you some money... and who doesn't want to save money? We also often stack some discounts at a show for our veterans, 1st Responders and also teachers. As a veteran owned company it's just our way of giving back and saying Thank you. At some events across the country you can get a FREE year of FMCA (on us!) with the purchase of an RV Roofing Solutions Complete System. If you are already an FMCA member, there could be a discount applied in addition to the show bonus. It's always good when a club member benefit literally pays for itself! Escapee's members can SAVE a little extra too! As full-time RV'ers ourselves we always try to give back to communities we belong to & invest in. We attend Rallies ALL THE TIME. In fact our very first event of the season is at the 34th Western Area Rally in beautiful Indio CA this weekend. At a rally, in addition to the show savings, we often give a FREE roof inspection with a one on one consultation at your RV. You get an estimate with rally pricing and it's a pretty accurate quote since we are doing the inspection at the rally. SPace on the schedule is sometimes limited and we often have waiting lists by the end of each rally. FREE Roof are limited to rallies with on-site RV parking. SHOW SAVINGS The best part of buying an RV Roofing Solutions Maintenance FREE Roofing System at a show is the savings! It's really easy. stop by the booth to get your estimate. Watch your email. The quote will be sent directly to you. Sit down and take a few moments to review the estimate To lock in the show savings, you will simply hit "approve" on that quote. Once approved, our team will send over the contract for you to review and sign. Sign the contract and pay the deposit. This deposit is refundable as long as you cancel at least 14 days prior to your scheduled start date. When do I have to schedule my installation? Honestly, that's up to you. While many of our clients want to get on the caledar as soon as possible, some people like to wait until their next maintenance cycle. A lot of prople at a fall show will schedule the following spring or summer. Locking in the savings simply means, if our price sheet goes up- yours won't. Where do I go for the installation? We come to you! Our service team is well versed in scheduling the work at a campground or at your home. We can even make it work for travel schedules if you are a full-timer. This step is coordinated after the deposit is paid. Lead time does vary by location. How can you get one of our teams to your event? Sumbit an email to info@rvroofingsolutions.com We will need to know The location of your event. The approxamate number of RV's attending The dates of the event We cannot achieve success without you.

RV roofs are often out of sight, out of mind, so it's easy to forget about cleaning them. But if you're on this page, you've no doubt realized your RV roof needs some TLC, too. The #1 most important tip when it comes to RV roof maintenance is to keep it clean. Regularly cleaning your roof will extend its lifespan, which is good, but if your roof looks like the one in our picture it may be at the end of its lifespan. If you decide you want to take the worry out of your RV roof, replacing RV roofs is exactly what we do. We have a professionally installed maintenance-FREE RV roofing system with technicians that come to you - but you still need to wash it from time to time. Take precautions to avoid tearing the material, which could lead to leaks and potential water damage to your rig. Knowing how to clean your RV roof properly includes being aware that the surface of your roof isn't impervious to damage. Here are a few of our tips to get the job done right. All RV roofs can be slippery, especially when wet. When you work up there, wear soft-soled shoes and use caution. In many areas, there are mobile RV wash teams if you'd rather pay someone to do this. If you decide to tackle this job, start by gently sweeping away any loose dirt and debris using a broom with soft or medium bristles. If you've never been up on your roof before, you should first determine whether or not you can safely climb up there. A general rule of thumb is that if your rig came with a factory ladder or built-in ladder-mounting location, it's walkable. If you don't have this, it's probably not walkable. Some RVs come with a weight capacity sticker with this information, and you can also check with your manufacturer or dealer to be sure. If you can't walk on your RV roof, we recommend using a ladder placed adjacent to your rig. To clean your roof, climb up on your ladder and remove any branches or other large objects. Then, sweep the roof with a broom to clear most of the debris. Finally, spray it down with a hose. Use a cleaner that’s specifically designed to be safe for use on your roof’s material. Avoid abrasive cleaners or those with petroleum distillates or citrus, as they can damage the membrane. For this step, you'll need a medium-bristled brush and the right type of cleaner for your roof type. Then, it's time to soap it up, rinse it off, and let it dry. Just keep in mind that what works for one roof material may end up destroying another. Always check the roof cleaner for an indication of what RV roof material it's meant to be used on. You may need some elbow grease to remove sap, leaf stains, mold, or other stubborn stains. Make sure you have determined if its rubber, PVC, fiberglass, or aluminum. If you're not sure what type of roof you have, check out out this handy guide h ere for help identifying your roof material. Pro tip: It's often easiest to work on smaller sections of the roof at a time. Rinse the roof once you’ve finished cleaning. This is a good time to rinse the rig’s sides, front, and back, which will likely be a mess after cleaning the roof. We see a lot of RVers turn to bleach to clean their RV roof (any material), particularly when it comes to scrubbing away mold spots. Most of the time, if you mix a 50/50 bleach/water solution, you won't have any trouble. However, some RVers have reported streaking when the bleach has run down the sides of the RV. In our opinion, there's no real reason to risk damaging your RV with bleach when there are so many other go-to products to turn to. If you prefer to stick with household products, we'd recommend a soapy Dawn solution over bleach. After thoroughly cleaning the roof you can use a rubber roof UV protectant that repels dirt and protects it from damaging UV rays. A squeaky clean roof means it's time to check all the sealants ... but that's a post for another day!

At Xscapers Bash we not only attended as a vendor, but our team also helped raise money for Escapees C.A.R.E. The C.A.R.E facility is in Livingston, Texas, and offers a safe haven to those whose journeys have been disrupted by age or health-related challenges, ensuring their well-being and peace of mind. Many of our installers are also Escapees members, so this is an organization that is near and dear to our hearts. How can you help? Well, of course, you can donate to the organization. It is a 501(c)(3) and gives residents in the program the ability to continue to live independently in their own RV. Residents can sleep in their own bed and store things in a storage building. They get help with propane, holding tanks, and awnings and receive site maintenance and help dumping tanks. They have two laundry loads washed and folded every week, and housekeeping in their rig every other week. Residents in the program still have lots of fun playing bingo, dominos, card games, and board games, and can socialize during exercise, craft projects, pet shows, outings, parties, and special events. Volunteers drive them to and from doctor's appointments and shopping trips to nearby stores as well. You can actually stay on-site and volunteer at C.A.R.E, as well. Many Escapees members spend a month here helping residents of the program. In exchange for their time and service, volunteers are provided a 50-amp, full hookup RV site (electricity and propane fees extra) in the Livingston C.A.R.E. Center. Three meals a day are also provided, seven days a week. During the warmer summer months (June-September), volunteers receive a summer seasonal credit towards their electricity to offset higher charges. There is also a small laundry room that the volunteers can use at no charge. If this sounds like a way you would like to give back to the Escapees community, please reach out to them.
