RV Roof re-seal?

[wsuwrhr]

I had a company come out and repair my awnings. Super cool to deal with and the dude knew his shit.

Brought the coach to the shop and they did it here.

Let me get their number.

Next step is replacing my torn awning.... got a quote for $400 bucks for new dometic awening installed. I watched a video on how to do it. Doesnt look to hard... anyone here done this?

That's cheap. I have been through several and did my own replacement the last time. It took me and a couple of my employees about 2 hrs to do my 14'.

The Dometic material was around $230 delivered in a long tube. There are cheaper materials out there though.

I sure you watched the same vids I did. Counting your "unwinds" is the only real challenging part and using a pop rivet gun.

Done! Russ is R&M very nice and knowledgeable. They pressure wash and scrub both roofs with some special roof washing chemical, painted flexi seal around all vents and joints as well as where the rubber roof meets the fiberglass cap. Then he takes 4 inch roll of rubber roof adhesive patch and goes over the areas where the roof meets the fiberglass cap and sticks it down and puts more flexi seal over it. Once thats all done he does 1 thick coat of roof sealer. Then washes your RV, armoralls tires and any black plastic. He even acid washed my chrome wheels and got most of the rust off of them. $375 or in our case $350 because we had two done at once.

I'm happy! Russ recommends that you have it recoated in about 4-5 years. If your looking for a guy to put 2 or 3 coats on your roof then you want to go with someone more expensive. For $375 if it lasts 5 years thats under 100 bucks a year to keep your rv roof in good shape. Thats fine with me! There was 3 guys working for about 3.5 hours on 2 RVs


Call Russ if your interested in a rv roof repair or detailing. Tell him Brian sent you so he will give me a good deal on a cut / buff for my trailer!:thumbup:

Yeah, I might just have him do it. He said he uses Dometic awenings too, not the knock offs. I'd have to go buy a pop rivit gun too if I were to do it myself. Plus a 24 pack of beer. Better off having it done for that price!

The Roof guys just left my place, Real nice guys, Showed up on time and cleaned up, I asked if they do cars and they washed my wife's car while they were here. I'm impressed all around with Russ and his guys. Let's see after El Nino comes thru.

At this point I would give their service and promptness :thumbup:

Mine looks good. My brothers still looks good. Havent had much of a storm to check his for leaks. Hes worth the money and you get an rv wash with it!

 

[Jefftowz]

So far so good.

 

[Bigbore500r]

Just checked mine....had a good leak before. Now that he sealed it and did his patch job...its bone dry after yesterdays rains. Sweet!

 

[Big B Hova]

Update. ... ive received 3 inches of rain in the last 24 hours and ZERO leaks :thumbsup

Want to go check my motorhome? ....you have a house key?

 

[UHHH SUCKA]

I actually jumped on top of mine Monday before the storm rolled in. 1st time I look closely at it since he did it in November and all looks good. All molding screws are nicely sealed as well.

 

[Hardly Satisfied]

I had Russ and his crew come to my house last week and they did a awesome job. Sealed my roof Buffed and waxed my motorhome. Just in time has its pouring rain.

 

[Bigbore500r]

I checked the motorhome last night, no leaks :thumbsup
I had a huge leak at the front over the cab before he came out and did the patch / re-seal. He did a good job!

I did see a small quarter-sized puddle of water under my front vent, but that is it. The vent is old, it may have gotten in through the plastic cover with the high winds. It rained 1.6" and fast in my area, and we had some pretty good wind gusts that stripped all the remaining leaves from the neighbors tree.

Im happy

 

[Jefftowz]

Just came in from checking out my RV and as far as I can see all good, Dry!

I'm sure with the winds and as heavy as it was raining the ol tarp would have been blown away.

 

[Big B Hova]

Money well spent. Rvs depreciate and fall apart enough as it is, dont need any rotten walls or floors!

 

[Big B Hova]

After these crazy down pours today..... still no leaks :thumbsup

 

[Bigbore500r]

I haven't checked mine I'll do it after work tomorrow

 

[Jefftowz]

I went up on my roof Sunday and all looked good and it was all dry today!

With RZR in back should level it out some. If it is to much with RZR I might drive work truck out for T-Day and can tow it out.
