Exterior Sealing Services
No Silicone. Ever. We use OEM body sealant. Proper surface prep is non-negotiable—it's part of every job.
Industry Standard:
Per RVTI (RV Technician Institute) training guidelines, exterior sealing work must be done with manufacturer-recommended sealants. Silicone prevents proper adhesion of future repairs and is incompatible with OEM body sealant systems. We follow manufacturer specifications and use only OEM-approved body sealants.
Pricing:
Sealing services are priced per linear foot (LF) based on accessibility and condition. If we discover rot or structural damage, we'll stop and explain your options. Materials may be additional depending on the service selected.
Roof Armor Spot Seal
Targeted sealing at trouble spots—stop small leaks before they become big problems. Perfect for newer RVs or specific problem areas.

- Professional-Grade Sealant: Dicor lap sealant applied correctly over properly prepared surfaces. We tool it smooth for professional appearance and maximum adhesion.
- Clean Professional Work: No drips on sidewalls, no mess on your fiberglass. We protect your RV's finish and clean up completely.
- Photo Documentation: Pictures of problem areas before and after, so you know exactly what was done.
Why This Matters
- Early Prevention Saves Money: A $150 spot seal today prevents a $5,000 water damage repair next year. Catch problems while they're small.
- Perfect for Specific Problems: Noticed a crack at your front cap seam? Sealant failing around a vent? This service targets known issues without paying for a full roof reseal.
- Extend Roof Life: If your roof is otherwise good but has a few trouble spots, this service adds years of protection at a fraction of the cost of full restoration.
- Budget-Friendly Maintenance: Not everyone needs (or can afford) the $1,995 Ultimate Roof Armor. This gives you professional leak prevention at a lower cost.
Best For:
Isolated cracks, specific seam transitions, small trouble spots on otherwise healthy roofs. Priced per linear foot of sealant applied. Not a substitute for full roof restoration on older or compromised roofs—we'll advise if you need the full service.

$1,995
Report Type
Full Workup
What's Included
- Complete Roof Scrape & Reseal: Every seam, every penetration, every vent—old sealant is removed down to clean substrate and replaced with fresh professional-grade Dicor.
- Two-Stage Dicor Application: Self-leveling sealant followed by lap sealant for maximum protection. This is the correct RV industry method—not the shortcuts others take.
- A/C Unit Inspection & Tightening: Every roof A/C unit is inspected and tightened to proper compression. If gaskets are cracked or failed, replacement is recommended ($130 per unit, if needed).

- All Sealant Materials Included: Dicor sealants, cleaning supplies, and labor for complete roof restoration—included in the price for units up to 35 feet.
Why This Matters
- Water Damage is Catastrophic: Roof leaks lead to floor rot ($5,000-$12,000), wall delamination ($3,000-$8,000), and structural damage. Prevention costs $1,995. Repairs cost 5-10x more.
- RV Roofs Need Maintenance: Sealant dries out, cracks, and fails. Industry recommendation is full reseal every 3-5 years. This service resets your roof to like-new condition.
- Verified Waterproofing: We don't just seal and hope—we water test and document the results. You get proof your roof is protected.
- Stop Problems Before They Start: By the time you see a leak inside, water has been intruding for months. This service stops damage before it costs you thousands.
- Peace of Mind: Know your RV is protected from the elements. No more worrying about every rainstorm.
Scope of Work:
This service is complete sealant replacement—we strip and replace ALL caulking and sealants on seams, vents, and penetrations. We do NOT replace the roof membrane itself (TPO, EPDM, fiberglass, etc.). If your roof membrane is damaged, that's a separate roof replacement service.
Pricing:
Price covers units up to 35 feet. Longer units quoted individually. If we find existing rot or structural damage during scraping, repair is additional and will be quoted before proceeding. This service is PREVENTION—catch it before damage occurs.

Why This Matters
- Prevent Compressor Failure: Dirty coils and restricted airflow make compressors work harder and fail early. Annual cleaning extends compressor life and prevents $800-$1,500 replacement costs.
- Stop Water Damage: Clogged drains and failed gaskets cause water intrusion ($1,500-$3,500 interior damage). This service prevents both problems.
- Maximize Cooling Efficiency: Clean coils and proper airflow deliver full cooling capacity. Get the performance your A/C was designed to provide.
- Documented Performance Baseline: Temperature and electrical measurements create a baseline for future troubleshooting. If problems develop, we can compare to known-good readings.
RVTI-Based Service:
This service follows RV Technician Institute maintenance standards for roof-mounted A/C units. Annual service recommended before cooling season. Priced per roof A/C unit—most RVs have 1-3 units.
A/C Complete Service
Everything in Standard Service PLUS comprehensive multi-mode testing, 3-cycle verification, and detailed component inspection. Maximum diagnostic depth and reliability verification.
Price
$250 / unit
Report Type
Full Workup
What's Included (Everything in Standard PLUS:)
- Complete Component Inspection: Visual and physical inspection of housing, wiring, capacitors, fan motors, compressor, and control board for damage, corrosion, wear, or failure indicators.
- Multi-Mode Electrical Testing: Documented amp draw testing in ALL modes—Fan Only Low, Fan Only High, Cool Low, Cool High, and Heat Pump (if equipped). Per RVTI diagnostic procedures, testing all modes reveals problems that single-mode testing misses.
- 3-Cycle Start/Stop Verification: Run unit through complete start/stop cycles to verify compressor starts reliably, thermostat responds correctly, and control board functions under real-world cycling conditions. Single-cycle tests don't catch intermittent failures.
- Cooling Performance Test (All Modes): Measure temperature drop in both high and low cooling modes to verify compressor performance across the full operating range.
- Gasket Replacement (If Needed): New roof gasket installed if inspection reveals cracks, compression loss, or failure. Included in service price.
- Comprehensive Diagnostic Report: Complete documentation of amp draw readings in all modes, cycle test results, component condition, and detailed recommendations. Creates complete performance baseline for future troubleshooting.
Why Upgrade to Complete Service?
- Multi-Mode Testing Finds Hidden Problems: Per RVTI training, A/C issues don't always appear in every mode. A failing capacitor might work in low speed but fail in high speed. A weak compressor might cool in mild weather but fail in extreme heat. Testing ALL modes reveals problems before total failure.
- Cycle Testing Catches Intermittent Failures: Components that work on the first start sometimes fail on the third or fourth cycle. Control boards, relays, and contactors develop intermittent problems that only show up during repeated cycling—just like real-world use.
- Component-Level Diagnostics: Visual inspection of capacitors, wiring, and compressor reveals early warning signs: bulging capacitors, corroded connections, compressor discoloration. Catch failures before they strand you in 100°F weather.
- Maximum Reliability for Extended Travel: If you're planning a long trip or relying on your A/C in extreme heat, this service verifies your unit will perform under all conditions—not just "it works right now."
Best For:
Pre-purchase inspections, extended travel prep, or maximum diagnostic confidence. RVTI-based multi-mode testing procedures. Priced per roof unit—most RVs have 1-3 A/C units. Gasket replacement included if needed. Additional parts (capacitors, motors, compressor) are extra if required.

$200
Diesel
$300
Report Type
Full Workup
What's Included
- OEM Oil & Filter Service: Correct weight oil and genuine Cummins Onan filter installed per your model's specifications. No generic parts—only factory spec components.
- Load Test Verification: We run your generator under actual electrical load and measure output. A generator that starts but can't carry load will fail when you need it.
- Frequency (Hertz) Check: Verify output is stable 60Hz. Off-spec frequency damages sensitive electronics like computers, TVs, and appliances.
- Exhaust System Inspection: Check for leaks, corrosion, and carbon buildup. Exhaust leaks are dangerous and can damage your coach.
- Full System Test: Start generator, run all coach systems, verify everything operates correctly on generator power.
- Performance Documentation: Written report with load test results, voltage readings, and any recommendations.
Why This Matters
- Generators Fail From Neglect: RV generators sit unused for months, then get asked to run for hours in extreme heat. Regular oil changes prevent premature wear and failure.
- Load Testing is Critical: A generator that starts doesn't mean it works properly. We verify it can actually power your coach under real-world load.
- Protect Your Electronics: Unstable voltage or frequency destroys electronics. Our testing ensures your generator delivers clean, stable power.
- Avoid Emergency Repairs: Generator replacement costs $3,000-$8,000+. Annual maintenance prevents expensive failures at the worst possible time.
Maintenance Schedule:
Cummins Onan recommends oil service every 100 hours or annually, whichever comes first. Most RVers hit the annual interval before 100 hours. Gas $200 | Diesel $300. Standard filters included.
