Most RV roofs do not need replacing. Caught early, a reseal is a fraction of the cost and buys years. But when water has already reached the decking, sealing over the top only hides it — and the repair gets bigger every season it waits.
We carry out full roof replacements on site: at your home, your storage lot, or wherever the RV is parked. You do not tow a rig with a failing roof to a shop and back.
What a full roof replacement includes
- Complete tear-off of the failed membrane and any rotted decking
- Inspection of the roof framing once it is exposed
- New decking cut and fitted over the original framing
- All seams taped and sealed before the membrane goes on
- New membrane installed across the full roof
- Vents, fans, A/C units and skylights removed, reset and resealed
- Full clean-up — we take the old roof away with us
Reseal or replace?
Resealing is the right answer far more often than replacement, and it is the job we do more of. If your seams are tired but the decking underneath is sound, that is a reseal and we will tell you so.
Replacement is for a roof where water has already got into the structure — soft spots underfoot on the roof, staining on interior ceilings, or a membrane that has started lifting and splitting. The photographs below show exactly what that looks like.

When a reseal is enough — and when it isn’t
Most roofs do not need replacing. Caught early, a reseal of the seams and penetrations is a fraction of the cost and buys years. That is the job we do far more often, and it is what we will recommend if it is genuinely what your roof needs.
A replacement is for the roof in the photographs above — where water has already been getting into the decking, and sealing over the top would only hide it. We will tell you honestly which one you are looking at.
Resealing work — seams and roof penetrations cleaned back and re-run with fresh lap sealant.
A second roof, same process
Different rig, different failure, same job. This one shows what a failing membrane looks like before anyone opens it up — and what is usually waiting underneath.
Roof Replacement FAQ
A full replacement is typically a two to three day job depending on the length of the roof, how many penetrations there are, and how much of the decking has to come out. We work on site, so your RV stays where it is throughout.
Most roofs need a reseal, not a replacement. If the seams are tired but the decking underneath is sound, resealing is the correct and much cheaper answer. Replacement is for roofs where water has already reached the structure — soft spots underfoot, interior ceiling staining, or a membrane that is lifting and splitting. We will look at it and tell you honestly which one you have.
Yes. We carry out full roof replacements on site, wherever the RV is parked. That matters because towing a rig with a compromised or partially removed roof risks far more damage than the original problem.
Storm and hail damage very often is. We work with insurance claims and with most extended warranties, and we handle factory warranty work for select manufacturers. On a job the size of a roof replacement it is worth checking before you pay out of pocket.
