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.

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.

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.
