RV Roof & Seal Repair in Hobe Sound, FL
RV roof repair in Hobe Sound, FL. Leak repair, recoating, skylights, vents, UV restoration, EPDM/TPO. Call 772-758-0499.
Water intrusion is the #1 cause of catastrophic RV damage. A small crack in a roof seal lets in moisture that soaks the wood decking underneath. In Florida's humidity, that moisture turns into mold within days and structural rot within weeks. We've seen rigs where a $200 seal repair would have prevented $8,000 in water damage. That's why we treat roof work as the most important preventive service we offer.

Jake Merritt has been inspecting and repairing RV roofs across Martin County since 2015. We've recoated hundreds of roofs, tracked down leaks that stumped other technicians, and restored UV-damaged rubber membranes that owners thought needed complete replacement. Our truck carries Dicor self-leveling sealant, Eternabond tape, EPDM adhesive, roof coating materials, and replacement vent covers so we can handle most roof jobs in a single visit.

DetailsCommon Issues We See in Florida
Florida's UV index regularly hits 10 or 11 in summer. That's extreme exposure that breaks down rubber roof membranes faster than anywhere else in the continental US. Per RVIA maintenance guidelines, roof seals in southern climates should be inspected every 6 months, not annually like in northern states. We see the results when people skip inspections. A tiny crack around an AC gasket or antenna mount lets in water that travels along the roof membrane, pools behind a wall, and rots the framing from the inside out. By the time you see a water stain on the ceiling, the damage has already spread. Last year we had a customer in Jupiter whose travel trailer had a leak they didn't notice for 3 months. The repair bill was $6,200 because the entire front cap needed structural rebuilding. A spring inspection would have caught the failed seal for under $300.

Why RV Owners Trust Us
We've been working on RV roofs in Martin County since 2015. In that time, we've developed a systematic inspection process that checks every seal, every seam, and every penetration. We use Dicor self-leveling sealant (the industry standard per RVIA specs), Eternabond tape for emergency patches, and elastomeric coatings rated for UV resistance in tropical climates. Jake Merritt checks every roof seal before and after a trip season. If you can't remember the last time someone inspected your roof, it's overdue.

RV Roof & Seal Repair FAQ
Common questions from RV owners in Hobe Sound and Martin County.
How often should I have my RV roof inspected?
In Florida, every 6 months. The UV exposure and heavy rain here degrade seals twice as fast as northern climates. A quick inspection catches problems early before water damage starts.
How much does RV roof recoating cost?
A full roof recoating typically runs $800 to $2,000 depending on roof size and condition. It extends the life of your roof membrane by 5 to 10 years and is much cheaper than a full replacement.
Can you fix a leaking skylight?
Yes. Skylight leaks are usually caused by cracked frames or failed seals. We replace the skylight if it's cracked or reseal if the unit is still good. Replacements run $200 to $500.
What type of sealant do you use on RV roofs?
Dicor self-leveling sealant for horizontal seams and Dicor non-sag for vertical surfaces. These are the RVIA-recommended sealants designed specifically for RV roof applications.
My roof looks chalky and dried out. Is it ruined?
Probably not. Chalky EPDM rubber can usually be restored with a thorough cleaning and application of a UV protectant or elastomeric coating. We'll assess whether restoration or replacement makes more sense for your situation.
How do I know if I have water damage from a roof leak?
Soft spots on the ceiling or walls, discoloration, musty smell, or bubbling wallpaper are all signs. We use moisture meters to detect hidden water damage without cutting into walls unnecessarily.
Do you repair TPO roofs?
Yes. We work on both EPDM (rubber) and TPO (thermoplastic) roofs. TPO requires different adhesives and welding techniques, and we're equipped for both types.
Can I walk on my RV roof?
Most RV roofs are designed to support foot traffic for maintenance, but you should walk carefully and avoid stepping near edges or unsupported areas. We inspect roof walkability as part of our assessment.
