Then use a pressure washer to get rid of any residues that may be left behind. Don’t forget to dry the roof with a towel or absorbent cloth once the cleaning is done.
3. Fix Any Damage
If you found any damage during your inspection now is the time to repair it. Depending on how serious the damage’s you might be able to patch up holes or tears with a repair kit. For damage consider reaching out to a professional, for assistance.
4. Apply Primer
After completing repairs and ensuring the roof is completely dry it’s time to apply a primer.
Before applying a coating, use primer to prepare the surface and ensure adhesion. It’s important to follow the manufacturers instructions, for results.
5. Once you’re finished priming, proceed with applying your chosen coating.
Depending on the type of coating, multiple coats may be required. Allow each coat to dry before moving on to the next one. After applying all coats, allow the roof to cure for at 24 hours before walking on it.
By following these steps, your RV roof will be properly prepped and ready for a coating. After letting it cure, you can enjoy the benefits of a revitalized and protected roof for years to come.
