How much does it cost to put a new roof on a RV in Tyler TX?

May 17, 2015

For Tyler Texas residents, the RV Season is upon us. And for some RV owners in Tyler, the reality is that those plans could be delayed due to collision damage hail damage or other damages. Adding to the frustrations of RV owners in Tyler, are long wait times at local RV repair shops. So what can you do?

Luckily for you Coach Specialists has a shop in the Dallas Fort Worth area with three drop off locations with no wait, but more on that later.

One of the most common RV damages that will side line an RV is a damaged or leaky roof. It is a time consuming repair, and most RV dealer shops are simply not able to push the work through.

RV roof repairs in Tyler are also expensive. One question that any RV owner with a leaky or damaged roof will want to know is what does it cost to get the RV roof fixed.

Recently we received an estimate request to put a new roof on a Tyler TX RV for a new customer. In order to help you ballpark your RV roof repair is about $300.00 per linear foot.

Most motorhome roof damage on Texas RV’s is the result of collisions with overhanging tree branches, backing into low-hanging outdoor signage other overhead objects. Of course here in Texas, RV roofs also get severe damages from hail storms, or even from owner neglect because some RV owners aren’t as mindful of all the maintenance and care that an RV roof requires annually.

The reason why RV Roof replacements cost so much is because they are very labor intensive. RV repair shops like ours typically estimate the replacement costs per linear foot coming in at around $300. Completing the estimate involves all the materials and labor costs.

Here we have broken out some basic RV roof replacement costs.

Labor

Replace roof membrane labor:
1hr per linear foot

Replace Roof decking and Luan:
1hr per every 4ft of roof (round up) – (ex. 33ft roof = 9 sheets/ 9hrs)

Required removals and installs (R&I) of old materials:
Front cap molding – 1.5hr
Rear cap molding – 1.5hr
Left and Right upper side (gutter) moldings – 2.5hr /each
Powered Awnings if required – 3hr each
Slide out toppers and manual awnings if required – 2hr each

Aluminum Radius- (per unit basis) –
*not all RV’s will have radius
Labor = 1hr per every 7ft

Materials

Roof decking- Luan (4×8’ sheets)
$24 per sheet

Replace roof membrane material costs :
21’ = $715
25’ = $850
30’ = $985
35’ = $1,145
40’ = $1,320

Sealants and adhesives-
