Nothing communicates the impact of professional polyurea coating better than real before-and-after documentation. The following six case studies come directly from our network of certified applicators and document actual jobs with the owners’ permission. Each one tells a different story about how damaged roofs were diagnosed, prepared, and permanently protected.
Case 1: 2004 Fleetwood Discovery Class A — 18 Years of Accumulated Seam Failures
The owner, a retired contractor from Texas, had been patching seams for eight years before finally calling our network. His roof had 14 distinct areas of failed lap sealant, three areas of soft substrate, and visible oxidation across 60% of the membrane surface. Prep took two days — substrate repair, membrane cleaning, oxidation removal, and primer application. One day of coating. The result: a completely seamless surface that the owner described as “better than when it left the factory.”
Case 2: 2011 Keystone Montana 5th Wheel — Hail Damage Mitigation
After a Colorado hailstorm left dozens of small impact marks across the roof membrane, this owner’s insurance company recommended full replacement at $8,400. A certified applicator in Denver assessed the roof and found the membrane integrity was actually intact — the impacts were cosmetic surface damage. Full polyurea coating at $2,900 restored the surface, sealed every impact point, and saved the owner over $5,000.
Case 3: 1998 Holiday Rambler Class A — 26-Year-Old EPDM, First Coating
This roof was a testament to what EPDM looks like after 26 years without treatment: chalky, brittle, cracked at every seam, and actively leaking in two locations. Rather than replacing the roof entirely (quoted at $11,000+), the owner invested in a polyurea coating at $4,200. The coating encapsulated the aging membrane, sealed all active leaks, and gave this 28-year-old coach another decade-plus of protection.
Cases 4–6
Case 4 involved a 2015 Thor Ace Class C with factory-installed TPO that was delaminating at the rear cap — a common manufacturing issue on that model year. Case 5 was a vintage Airstream with aluminum oxidation and failing rivets (explored in detail on our Airstream Protection page). Case 6 was a 2019 Grand Design Reflection with a virtually new roof that the owner proactively coated at 5 years old — the wisest preventive investment in the series.
