The importance of roof coatings can definitely not be ignored. Consequently the awareness of different type roof coatings among the roofing contractors and the building residents is very necessary. Therefore get yourself well aware of what type of coating you need and the type of roof you have so that you are able to apply the roof coating which is best for your roof.
Most of the older mobile homes and RV’s around usually have metal roofs, most often aluminum. In order to keep this type of roof in good condition, again it is usually only required that you inspect it regularly and keep it clean. For most metal roofs, it’s okay to clean it twice a year using an automotive wash and wax cleaner.
EPDM rubber has a lengthy proven track record; it has been in use for more than 40 years in diverse conditions. Outfitting your roof with quality materials is an investment, which will pay off in the future because you will not have to spend as much money on roof repair or on replacing your roof sooner that you would wish to. Flexible and versatile, EPDM rubber is a material with much strength, which you can rely on to keep your family safe and dry.

One stop solution for your all roof repair needs
Anyone who has ever had to undergo roof repair knows how stressful that can be. Normally, it involves calling in professionals and having them use bulky materials for repairs that only add extra weight to your roof. Liquid EPDM can be applied by almost anyone and goes on in one smooth and easy coat so your roof is not bearing any excess weight.
Not only will liquid EPDM negate the need for professional repairs, because it can be applied in one coat, it also helps you to avoid the cost of applying multiple layers or using a primer. Again, this cuts down the cost of repairing a roof leak considerably. And the unique composition of liquid EPDM is not only watertight, but will reduce both rain noise and heat build-up to keep you cooler and more comfortable.
Liquid EPDM has been proven to outlast almost any other roofing substance. Acrylics, urethanes and other elastomers just don’t measure up. Nothing else provides the peace of mind and cost effectiveness of liquid EPDM. It’s the one stop solution for all roof repair needs, from industrial to residential and on surfaces ranging from concrete to metal.
You want a dependable roof over your head, so don’t waste your time with messy and costly repairs. Use liquid EPDM and get it done right the first time with a secure seal that will last for years to come.

Repairing Holes and Leaks
Once you have found the source of the leak, you’ll need to patch it up as soon as possible to prevent any more damage. For holes that are bigger than one inch in diameter, it is usually best to use a piece of aluminum sheeting to cover it with. To do this, you need to cut out a piece of the sheeting that is larger than the hole in the roof. Make sure you have plenty of bearing so that you can cover the hole completely. Secure the aluminum sheet to the roof, over the hole, with self taping screws that can be driven straight into the roof. Then, to seal the sheet so it’s watertight, use a putty tape around the edges or some kind of non-hardening putty, making sure there are no gaps left at the edges of the sheet at all.
Smaller sized holes can be fixed more easily, using a sticky aluminum tape, for example Peel N Seal repairing tape. Simply clear all debris away from the hole, clean the surface where you are going to stick the tape, and finally seal the hole, making sure the tape is stuck down very firmly and there are no gaps visible.
If you do not carry out regular maintenance on your mobile home roof, you are running a huge risk. If left too late, then repairing the roof of your mobile home or RV trailer can cost upwards of several thousand dollars and all because you failed to spot a small leak in time.
Preventative Roof maintenance can save you an awful lot of money in the long run, it’s easy to perform, and very inexpensive. You don’t even need to have any real skills to do it. Mobile homes need care and attention just as much as our real homes do. If you love your mobile home and take care of it, then your mobile home will take good care of you.

Rubber Roofing Materials
The advantages of rubber roofing are many. Rubber roofs are durable, energy efficient and environmentally friendly (they are often made of recycled materials). Another advantage of rubber roofs particularly liquid rubber and liquid roof, one that often tilts the scale in their favor, is that they require low maintenance, unlike wooden materials for example. But some differences exist between the two types of rubber roofs, with each having its own advantages. When installing a rubber roof one should take into consideration the two options – a whole roof system or shingles. An entire roof covered with a large rolled rubber roofing piece is ideal for preventing any leakage whatsoever, as they have no seams in them. This may be a slightly more expensive option, but a wise decision for flat roof homeowners especially. Liquid Rubber roof shingles are authentic looking shingles that have all the advantages the rubber material provides, and are even lighter, making it easier to install. Regarding Rubber Roof Repairs The benefits of rubber roofing do not end there, as even if they do require repair some time after installing them, rubber roofs are easy to fix. Especially if rubber roof shingles are involved, but also in the case of a whole roof system, rubber may tear or even fall off. In such a case, the homeowner can easily repair the roof with spare pieces or special tape or liquid that dries into rubber-like material. Such liquid roof sealant can be applied to the entire roof upon installation to prevent any such damage in the long run. Rubber Roofing Services If your roof is flat or you wish to enjoy the benefits of the rubber material with an authentic shingles style, then fill out the form on this page and we will have our rubber roof experts contact you and answer any of your questions, or simply follow your order to install a rubber roofing system.
