What We Check During an RV Roof Inspection
A real roof inspection isn't a 5-minute glance from the ladder. We systematically check every area that fails on RV roofs:
- All roof-mounted fixtures β A/C unit base and surround, every vent flange, skylights, antenna mounts, and exhaust caps. These are the #1 source of leaks on RVs.
- Seam integrity β Every lap seam across the membrane, front-cap transition, rear-cap transition, and sidewall joints.
- Sealant condition β Current state of all factory and previously applied sealant. We note cracking, pulling, and exposed gaps.
- Membrane condition β UV degradation, chalking, cracking, soft sections, bubbling, and delamination.
- Soft spot testing β We probe suspect areas to find hidden water intrusion in the decking under the membrane.
- Prior repair quality β Any previously patched or resealed areas are checked to see if they're holding correctly.
- Drainage and ponding potential β We look for areas where water sits rather than runs off after rain.
How Much Does an RV Roof Inspection Cost?
Our on-site inspection fee is $375. That fee covers our travel to your location, the full inspection time (typically 30β60 minutes), photo documentation of every issue, and a written assessment report you keep. If you choose to proceed with any repair, coating, or replacement work, the $375 is credited in full toward that project cost β it's not an additional charge on top.
Many customers decide to have us inspect before buying a used RV, before a camping season, or after a storm event. In every case, the goal is the same: know exactly what you're dealing with so you can make an informed decision β not guess based on a spot of ceiling stain.
What Happens After the Inspection?
After the inspection, you receive:
- A written assessment of everything we found β categorized by severity
- Photo documentation of every issue, organized and dated
- A no-obligation written estimate for any recommended work
- An honest recommendation: repair, silicone coating, full replacement, or "it's fine, check back in a year"
You are never pressured. If the roof is in good condition, we tell you. Our business is built on doing work that's actually needed, not manufacturing jobs.
