A tear in your RV roof is bad enough. Then the dealer hands you a replacement estimate, and you wonder how a sheet of roofing can cost so much to fit.
So for a 30-foot RV, the published rates at Stringer Enterprises in Florida and At Your Door RV Service in Oregon work out to $4,500 to $10,500. Those are length-based examples, before the shop inspects your roof.
I will show you the sums, what rubber and fiberglass roof quotes include, and the dealer bills owners shared. The wood underneath can matter as much as the material on top.
RV Roof Replacement Prices by Length
Stringer Enterprises advertises about $150 per linear foot. Its replacement description includes removing roof equipment, replacing the membrane and deck sheeting, and reinstalling equipment with new air conditioner gaskets.
At Your Door RV Service publishes about $350 per foot for its mobile work. It uses a fiberglass-reinforced TPO membrane. This is flexible roofing with reinforcement, not a molded fiberglass roof.
These two businesses give you useful starting points, not a national average. Ask how many feet of roof the shop is pricing.
Why the Membrane Is Only Part of the Bill
The outer membrane keeps water out. Under it sits the decking, then the roof structure and the ceiling inside your RV. A new sheet on top does not repair rotten wood below.
At Your Door’s material price for a 30-foot TPO membrane is $600. Its labor allowance for replacing the membrane is one hour per foot at $150 an hour: 30 x $150 = $4,500, before other work.
The same page separates removing and refitting the front and rear moldings, side gutters, awnings and slide toppers. Roof appliances also need sealing when they go back on.
Decking adds more. At Your Door prices luan sheets at $25 each and allows one hour per four feet of roof, rounded up. Its page also includes final cleanup and a water test.
I would ask for the membrane job, damaged wood and equipment removal on separate lines. That makes it much easier to compare a dealer’s quote with a mobile repair quote.
EPDM, TPO and Fiberglass Roofs
Stringer’s service page offers both EPDM and TPO sheet replacement, but does not publish separate fitted prices for them. I would not turn its starting rate into a promise that either material costs the same on your RV.
RV Armor compares roofing options over ten years. Its comparison gives $11,500 to $20,000 or more for standard fiberglass, against $10,000 to $18,000 or more for EPDM, TPO or vinyl.
Those are a competing roof company’s comparisons, not a dealer’s price list. Use them to understand the size of the job, then get the actual price for your coach and its damage.
What Owners Paid and Were Quoted
These Montana Owners Club posts show how far the full bill can be from the amount an insured owner pays. Keep the 2020 dates in mind when comparing them with a quote today.
- On October 7, 2020, one owner described a summer storm-damage roof replacement costing $9,800, with a $500 deductible.
- On October 11, 2020, another owner had a $10,000 Camping World quote for complete membrane replacement. They instead paid RV Armor $5,700 for a painted-on roof.
- On October 21, 2020, the thread starter shared a $13,575 dealer estimate negotiated to $11,750 by insurance. The owner’s share was $500.
Manufacturer help can change the bill too. On November 27, 2018, a Texas owner of a 2015 Prime Time LaCrosse with a sticky rubber roof wrote that the shop first asked $7,800 for labor, then agreed to $4,800.
In that RV Forum post, Dicor was supplying the new roof material and Carlisle had offered $2,750 toward the labor. Contact the roof maker before approving work if your membrane may still have coverage.
When a Coating Is Worth Pricing
RV Armor’s installed system starts at $4,560, with an approximate rate of $190 per linear foot. Repairs to the underlying structure are priced separately.
For a 30-foot roof, RV Armor’s rate gives 30 x $190 = $5,700 before structural repairs. Its system is a different job from stripping the roof and installing another sheet membrane.
If your roof needs a new waterproof surface, ask whether a coating system suits it.
Questions About Replacing an RV Roof
Can a mobile technician replace an RV roof?
Yes. At Your Door RV Service does this work on site in the Portland area. Its page explains that owners can usually stay in the RV during the repair.
Is an RV roof coating the same as a new rubber roof?
No. A coating adds a waterproof system; a membrane replacement removes and replaces the sheet roofing.
Does the RV roof warranty pay for labor?
Read the terms for your roof. The LaCrosse owner above was offered materials and help with labor, but that was an individual arrangement. RV Armor advertises a lifetime material and labor warranty for its system.
Why can a small tear lead to a large estimate?
Roof equipment and edge moldings may need removing for a full membrane replacement. Have the repairer explain why a local patch will not work and whether water has damaged the decking.
