Getting roof done by RV Roofing Solutions

I’ve got the RV Roofing Solutions folks on my roof today. It started as them babysitting me while I did a Never Caulk self-install for my site and turned into a, “hey, you haven’t kept up with your roof at all.” (guilty)

Day 1 of the roofing install. Cleaning the roof with a power washer and hand scrubbing. Then removing all of the old Dicor. Next they taped everything up and now they’re up there doing all of the detail work around the penetrations.

Tomorrow they’ll do multiple coats over the entire roof.

sometimes its better to hire professional installers and may be cheaper in the long run. Nice pics even tho they are 90* out of alignment.

Sadly, they're right-side up when I look at them on my phone, Facebook, and Flickr. It's just this site... fills me with an unreasonable amount of rage that they won't fix it.

Sometimes you have to rotate the pic left or right, save it, then rotate it straight again and save it, then upload. Couple more steps but if it works then it works. Disclaimer…I don’t know if it works lol.

Good decision

We had this company do our roofs about three years ago and I have to let you know we have been extremely pleased with the quality of work and the way the roof is handled up to some very heavy rain storms

Of all the things to worry about being an RV owner not worried about my roof because of RV Solutions was a great choice

Be careful with those pressure washers on your RV roof!

Take pictures ONLY with the button on the right (for a phone). Taken in any of the other three orientations will result in the converse of that orientation. E.g., taken with the button on the left will appear upside-down.

I've been using the pressure washer on the roof annually since 2012. No leaks so far.

If I take the photos with my phone vertical this site angles them 90 degrees off.

If I take them with my phone horizontal they upload here correctly.

More precisely, "If I take them with my phone horizontal with the button on the right they upload here correctly.

(If you take them with the button on the left, they will be 180 degrees off.)

Send me a PM if you want the technical reason.

Whatever you're doing with the pictures, they are some of the few that render properly with tapatalk. 90% of the time I have to switch to a browser is I want to see the pictures.

Your roof looks nice!

Nice! Too bad you didn't change out the skylight before they sealed it up all nice!

Yeah, I didn't even think about it. Woulda/shoulda/coulda.
