Loxley Posted September 10, 2016 Report Share Posted September 10, 2016 Hello friends, I try to get on my roof fairly regularly to check out how things are & clean & apply roof protectant. However, after this summer I saw something I had never seen on my roof before. I'm guessing that my roof is of the "rubber" variety. It's about 16 years old & is white. It seems to be scaling & flaking off in some places revealing a blueish - black material underneath. I don't believe it's leaking. I'm attaching a photo of this. What do I need to do to repair, prevent & protect my roof? Thanks in advance, Loxley Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Darryl&Rita Posted September 10, 2016 Report Share Posted September 10, 2016 The UV protection layer is wearing/worn off. Time to think about re-coating or roof replacement. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
BigRich Posted September 11, 2016 Report Share Posted September 11, 2016 The acrylic coating needs resurfacing. What you're seeing is biological growth believe it or not. Clean it with Dicor RPCRPQ primer cleaner and then recoat it with Dicor RPCRC1 roof coating. I did my 36 footer for under $150. Make sure you clean it really well! -Rich Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
wildmandmc Posted September 11, 2016 Report Share Posted September 11, 2016 Just 3 days ago brought my RV in for some work. an asked about my roof. Place took look at it, called me an told me about the Dicor. From what i found about it, Usually runs about 80 bucks a gal. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
bigjim Posted September 11, 2016 Report Share Posted September 11, 2016 If it is in decent condition it might be good for the re-coating. I would say you are right on the edge of having a problem. I caught mine just in time last year, albeit after 1 minor issue. I can't do the roof climb anymore safely. I was able to get a re-coat in my area last year for $399. materials and labor. I think I got a good job but would have rather done it myself if I could. It did not included lifting the air conditioner or any vents. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Jimalberta Posted September 11, 2016 Report Share Posted September 11, 2016 Bigjim....that is a decent price and worth not having to do it yourself as long as its done properly. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
