Florida sun, Martin County's afternoon storms, and coastal salt air are the three biggest enemies of an RV roof. Sealant cracks, membranes shrink, and water finds its way in through every seam and screw hole if you don't stay on top of it. Slide-outs take a beating too, with motors that burn out, seals that dry and tear, and alignment that shifts after years of use. We handle all of it on-site. Here's what we see most often and the typical cost.
Water stains on the ceiling, soft spots in the roof decking, or a musty smell inside all point to an active leak. We get on the roof with a moisture meter, trace the leak to its source, and seal it. Most leaks start around vents, AC mounting rings, antenna bases, or sealant joints that cracked from UV exposure. Stuart's intense sun dries out sealant faster than the manufacturer timeline.
$125-450 - 1-3 hoursPunctures, tears, and delamination in the rubber membrane are common on rigs parked under trees or near construction sites. We clean the damaged area, apply primer, and bond a matching EPDM or TPO patch with Dicor Products adhesive or EternaBond tape. We match the patch material to your existing roof so there's no compatibility issue down the road.
$150-500 - 1-3 hoursWhen the membrane is chalking, multiple patches overlap, or the entire surface has lost its protective layer, a full recoat is the right move. We clean the entire roof, fix any membrane damage, reseal every penetration point, and apply the compatible coating system. This extends the roof life by 8-12 years and saves you from a $5,000-10,000 full membrane replacement.
$1,200-3,500+ - full daySchwintek, Power Gear, and hydraulic slide systems all eventually wear out the motor or pump. You'll hear grinding, the slide moves slower than it should, or it stops partway through its travel. We test the electrical circuit, check the motor and gear pack, and replace whatever's failed. Most motor swaps finish in 2-4 hours on-site without removing the slide room.
$250-600 - 2-4 hoursWiper seals, bulb seals, and rain guards along the top and sides of the slide-out dry out, crack, and flatten in Martin County's heat. Once they fail, rain pours in at the seam every time it storms. We remove the old seals, clean the channel, and install new ones that actually make contact when the slide is retracted. You'll notice the difference immediately when it rains.
$150-350 per slide - 1-2 hoursA slide that's crooked, gaps on one side, or binds partway through travel needs an alignment adjustment. This happens from normal use over time, especially on rigs that travel frequently on Florida's uneven roads. We shim, adjust the gear packs or rams, and verify even contact with the seals on all four sides. Ignoring it leads to seal damage and water intrusion.
$100-275 - 1-2 hoursCracked vent covers, broken MaxxAir fan housings, and yellowed skylights that leak around the frame. Florida UV turns plastic brittle in a few years. We remove the old unit, clean the roof opening, install the replacement, and seal it with Dicor lap sealant. Takes about an hour per unit. We stock the most common 14x14 Ventline and MaxxAir sizes.
$75-250 per unit - 45-90 minThe rooftop AC unit sits on a gasket and mounting ring that compresses over time. When it fails, rain leaks in around the ceiling assembly. We see this all the time on rigs parked in Martin County, where the sun bakes that gasket year after year. We lift the AC unit, replace the gasket, clean and reseal the mounting ring, and set it back down. Stops the leak permanently.
$150-350 - 1-2 hoursWater stains mean an active leak has already soaked through the roof decking into the interior. The longer it sits, the more the plywood rots and the more mold grows behind the wall panels. This is the kind of thing that turns a $200 reseal into a $3,000 structural repair if you wait.
If the roof gives under your feet, the plywood decking underneath is saturated and rotting. This happens when a slow leak goes unnoticed for months, especially around sealant joints that dried out in the Florida sun. Getting up there twice a year prevents this.
Dicor sealant lasts 3-5 years before UV and heat start breaking it down. In Stuart, with year-round sun and salt air from the coast, it breaks down faster. If you can see gaps or dried-out sealant around any roof penetration, water is getting in or about to. A $200-500 reseal job now saves thousands later.
Grinding means a gear pack is stripping, a motor is wearing out, or something is binding in the track. If the slide moves slower on one side than the other, the gear packs are wearing unevenly. Getting it fixed now costs $250-600. Waiting until it jams completely usually means a $700+ repair plus seal damage.
The wiper seals and bulb seals along the slide are supposed to keep water out when the room is pulled in. If they're cracked, flattened, or torn, every storm pushes water into the coach. Martin County gets 54+ inches of rain per year. Bad seals mean damage, and it adds up fast.
Call 772-280-3915 or fill out the estimate form. Tell us where the leak is, what the slide is doing (or not doing), and how long the issue has been happening. We'll book a time window, usually same or next day across Martin County.
We get on the roof with a moisture meter, inspect every seam, sealant joint, and penetration point. For slide-outs, we test the motor, inspect seals and wiper gaskets, and check alignment. You get a written estimate with photos before we touch anything.
Leak patches and reseals finish in 1-3 hours. Full recoating takes a full day. Slide motor swaps run 2-4 hours. Seal replacements take 1-2 hours per slide. We use Dicor self-leveling sealant and EternaBond tape, the same products RV manufacturers spec from the factory.
A roof leak during a Martin County storm can't wait. Water pouring through the ceiling damages wiring, cabinets, and flooring every hour it sits. We answer emergency calls around the clock and carry tarps, sealant, and patch material to stop the damage until a full repair can happen.
Roof work requires knowing the membrane type, the right sealant chemistry, and proper technique for each penetration. Slide-out repair involves electrical circuits, heavy moving parts, and precise alignment. Our techs are RVIA certified and carry current Florida insurance for your protection.
Roof repairs and slide-out work are both covered by our 90-day labor warranty. If a seal we applied fails or a motor we installed quits within that window, we come back and fix it at no charge. Sealant and parts carry the manufacturer warranty on top of ours.
Found brown water stains above the bedroom after a heavy storm. They came out the next morning, got on the roof with a moisture meter, and found cracked sealant around the vent. Fixed and sealed in two hours. The stain is still there but the leak is gone. Saved us from a much bigger problem.
Bedroom slide-out stopped halfway and made a terrible grinding sound. Tech diagnosed a stripped gear pack, ordered the part, and had it replaced three days later. Slide runs smooth and quiet again. Fair price for the amount of work involved.
Had them do a full roof recoat on our 2016 Tiffin at our Palm City storage lot. They spent the entire day up there, sealed every seam, and the roof looks brand new. Worth every penny to not have to worry about leaks for the next decade.
RV roof leak repairs in the Stuart area typically run $125-450 for patch and reseal work. EPDM or TPO membrane patches cost $150-500 based on the damage size. Full roof recoating runs $1,200-3,500+ depending on roof size and prep work needed. We inspect with a moisture meter and give you a written estimate before starting.
Martin County gets intense afternoon storms from May through October, and that rain finds every weak point. The most common leak sources are cracked sealant around vents, AC mounting rings, or antenna bases. Florida UV dries out Dicor sealant faster than the manufacturer's timeline suggests. Inspecting the roof twice a year catches most problems before they cause interior damage.
Yes. We do all roof inspections, leak repairs, membrane patches, reseals, and recoating right where your rig is parked. RV parks on Hutchinson Island, driveways in Palm City, storage lots in Jensen Beach, wherever you are in Martin County. We bring the ladder, moisture meter, Dicor sealant, EternaBond tape, and membrane material.
In Martin County, you should inspect and touch up sealant every 6-12 months. UV exposure, salt air, and heavy rain break sealant down faster here than in northern states. A full reseal of all penetration points runs $200-500 and takes 2-3 hours. It's the cheapest protection against water damage you'll find.
A slide that won't move usually points to a motor failure, a blown fuse, a bad controller board, or a stripped gear pack. Hydraulic slides can fail from a bad pump, leaking cylinder, or low fluid. If the slide moves slowly or makes a grinding noise, the gear pack or motor is wearing down. We test the electrical circuit first, then inspect the mechanical parts.
Seal replacement runs $150-350 per slide. Motor replacement costs $250-600 depending on the system type (Schwintek, Power Gear, or hydraulic). Gear pack swaps run $300-700. Controller board replacements are $150-400. Alignment and adjustment is $100-275. We diagnose the exact problem on-site and give you an estimate before beginning any work.
We use Dicor self-leveling lap sealant for horizontal roof seams and around penetration points. Dicor non-sag sealant handles vertical joints. For membrane patches, we use EternaBond tape and compatible EPDM or TPO material from Dicor Products. These are the same products RV manufacturers spec from the factory. We always match the sealant type to your existing roof membrane.
Yes. Full roof recoating happens right where your rig is parked. We clean the surface, repair any membrane damage, reseal all penetration points, and apply the coating system. EPDM roofs get Dicor EPDM coating. TPO roofs get the appropriate compatible product. The job takes a full day for most RVs and costs $1,200-3,500+ based on roof size and condition.
We cover Stuart, Palm City, Jensen Beach, Hobe Sound, Port Salerno, and the surrounding area for all RV roof and slide-out work. From Sewall's Point and Hutchinson Island to Indiantown and Jupiter Island.
