EPDM "Liquid Roof" was effective in eliminating the leaks in my RV roof. I had water intrusion that I was continually trying to remedy with other products. This effort proved to be ineffective. I discovered Liquid Roof, and really did not know any others who had experience with this product. Our local RV Store only sold emulsion based sealers and could only comment that EPDM is "expensive". It took a late and prolonged rainy season to finally convince me to try "Liquid Roof".
I wanted to let a few months go by before I wrote back to you folks. It has been 6 months since the application went down. First I would like to say that I was very pleased with the level of service I received. I probably called your office about 7 or 8 times with questions but this was the first time I was using the product and it was a fairly large commercial roof. I did hire some general laborers and the product went down just like you indicated. I actually applied a smaller section of the roof with elastomeric before I ordered your product. So now I have to get the elastomeric off because it is already cracking in two seam areas. So short and sweet. We love the product, yes costs some money but factoring that we didn’t need a primer and there were not multiple coats like the systems I am familiar with it actually came in cheaper and the results were just outstanding. Let’s get through the winter and our company will be ordering more.
I just wanted to send you a testimonial email about your product. We bought a '99 5th wheel only to find out that it had a leak 3 months later. I had to repair a section of the roof decking and replace a 3 foot section of the membrane leaving a seem on the roof. After making the repairs I coated the roof with liquid roof and waited until after we had a rain storm to send you this testimonial. I am happy to report that after an overnight rain storm that dumped over an inch of rain I went in the trailer to find it bone dry! The product was easy to apply and I have even used the left over material on a couple of other projects after placing it in the freezer for storage. I would recommend this product to all RV owners and will probably coat the roof of my next RV with it.
Hi Kellie, We retrieved the original pictures that we sent to you before beginning the project and took the after shots. There will be one more email sent to you, as all the pics wouldn't fit on one. You can see for yourself what a huge improvement we have. As I said on the phone, you folks did a great job and the product was perfect. Thanks for your help.
Robert S My name is Daniel Sims. My business partner and I recently went to San Diego for a working vacation. We put a new roof on my parents house using the liquid EPDM. We pressure washed the roof on July 10th and finished applying the Liquid EPDM on July 12. There are several reasons for my letter here. I wanted to let you know how much I like the product! I can’t understand why this is the first time I have been exposed to it when I have been in the construction business for close to 30 years. There are many, many times in the past when the liquid EPDM would have been a perfect solution on a project and I definitely plan on using it in the future! Hi Brian,
Hello Kellie, Dear Mr.Phillipine,
Kellie this was our 1984 trailer with a steel sheet roof, badly warn, old paint, old silicon, now sand blasted clean and 1 fresh rubber coating!
I have "mis-placed" my receipt for a recent purchase of RV Roof Repair. Would you please email a copy to me. Hi Brian: Hi EPDM Coatings!! Just making good on my promise you said we would get a $25.00 AMEX gift certificate if we write something about the product. Well I would have done it for free but thanks for the $25.00. So for the past 7 months we kept seeing our waterline go down. We went to two pond shops and tried the crap they had there and nothing worked. Skeptical at this point your sales people really did not try to sell be but rather tell me about the product and why it would work. I really never knew there was a liquid version of the EPDM pond liners. Well it has been about three weeks and the level for the first time is holding. I wanted to make sure before I wrote this but in the past we knew within a few days that the other products did not work.
I am sorry I am reaching out to you so late after using your product! I
never did take any good footage of applying the EPDM liner due to a rushed
job but have told many other companies about the product and will stand
behind it one hundred percent. It worked great for our application and was
easy to use. Once again I am sorry for not getting any footage but I hope to
continue to use your product in the future.
I'm just writting to say Thank you, I've receive th material on Sept the 2nd and I was very please with the product,. It arrived intact and I've started to apply it on my 5th wheeler roof. It is a thick paint but the coverage is amazing, I am very satisfied with the results.
I put on the rest of the liquid roof and it turned out really well. I am very pleased with how it turned out-should have no worries about any roof leaks in the for seeable future. I think your product is amazaing. I will not let a poor conditioned roof on an RV, keep me from buying it, as I know of a easy solution, that I can do.
This is my first RV. I have never coated a RV roof before, and having a shop do it seemed too expensive. Your product is not cheap, but I put on gallon on the edges and cut in the roof vents last weekend, so I got another 4 gallons today to do the rest this weekend. It has not been hard, I am hoping the longevity of the product will produce as advertised. I have told some of my RV friends about it and now they seem interested when they go to seal their roofs. Your videos on your sight really helped me decide, along with your responses to my email questions. One coat vs a primer and top coat was also attractive.
Hi Kellie! Thanks for your quick response to my questions. Yes, please feel free to use my comments on your website. We will let you know next year how the Liquid Roof has held up to our -40 degree temperature Canadian winter! So far it’s done its job and has sealed up the pinholes in the RV metal roof and the inside is as dry as Sahara sand storm !! No more water leaks !We had an opportunity to apply your Liquid Roof product on the metal roof of our RV this weekend. I am very happy with the ease of application and the final smooth look of the roof once the self leveling and curing process began. When I first started applying the liquid roof product ,being this was the first time I have used it, I was a bit concerned about running out of product and may have applied it a little too thinly .But as I used it more, I got used to how the product felt as it went on etc, and started to be more liberal in its application. These sections of roof look smooth and even. Where I may have been a little stingy in the amount of product I used looks not as smooth as the other areas. So, my question is: -can I apply a second coat of Liquid Roof to this area to get it to match the smoothness of the other areas?? If it is possible to do it, what prep work and steps do I need to take ?? We do have about a gallon of product left over from the large pail we ordered. We put this remainder in our deep freeze to stop the curing process. Was this an OK thing to do and should the product still be OK to use ? Dear EPDM,
Gentlemen: I ordered a gallon of Liquid Rubber last summer, and inquired if it could be spread with an adhesive applicator trowel; the sales person was not aware of this having been tried. I tried using a commercially available trowel with 4 sawtooth teeth per inch, and 0.135 inch notch depths, holding the trowel at about a 45 degree tilt. This worked great, and spread the liquid at exactly the recommended rate. The trowel is followed by a brush or roller to level the liquid. I applied the liquid rubber to the roof of our camper and after a few minutes it started to bubble up. Whats going on? What do you guys think? Thanks Mickey. Bubbling is normal. It is part of the curing process. Normally it will take anywhere from 5-10 days for all the bubbling to cure. Hey, You were correct. I went on the roof this morning and was amazed. It looks great. Thanks for the help. The product is amazing!
Lou, I promised I would e-mail you guys what we thought of your product either way. Well I must say you were right about everything it claimed. We were more than pleased with the performance of the product. We were concerned with the cost but after seeing how thick it is and the fact that it required no primers or additional coats the cost actually was cheaper that other systems. We hired some general laborers to do the work and saved $3,500.00 to boot! Great service. We have another job coming up in May and we will definitely be reordering In September we ordered the liquid roof from your company for our motorhome. Let me tell you, the liquid roof is a superior product, course you already know that. We just wanted to tell you that we are extremely satisfied with the performance of application and the final result. So far -so good
We had been looking for a roofing coating for some time. We ordered a gallon in the summer to test it out on our roof, part epdm and part metal. After our initial testing we were quite amazed with the performance of the product. This is the only product that had stopped our leak, and in fact the first time in 4 years the roof did not leak. We since then completed our entire roof and saved several thousand dollars by hiring some general laborers to apply the material along with some people who work in our warehouse. This is the first time that I took the time to write a compliment but you guys asked if the product did what it said it would to let us know so I am glad to do so. Great product and great customer service!
A friend of mine gave me a gallon of the Liquid Rubber he had left over after I complained to him about a chronic leak on my roof. Although my roofer did some patch work, I still had water coming in when the rain was heavy. Well I tried the Liquid Rubber in the area where the water was coming from. That was six months ago. Today, all is dry. I have to thank my friend for introducing me to this great product. Bob (Hollis NY) Below are before and after photos on my recent installation of liquid roof. I am very pleased with the results. It was about three hours of work not including prep, but the results speak for themselves.
John I am not one to write and say thank you. But, I must say this stuff is great. Your liquid roof is FANTASTIC :) I had my doubts, and wasn't sure if I was applying it right, but, it has truned out to be superb. I did manage to get it on my pants. But that is hardly a fault of the product. Excellent product and thank you. I expect my sunroom with the shallow roof is loving it too. Cheers I just wanted to forward to you a copy of an email I recently sent to a customer service representative I spoke with when purchasing your product. I was faced with a $7,000 dollar roof replacement estimate for my 26.5 ft. class C motor home. I thought for sure my RVing days were over. As DIYer, I was extremely pleased with your product. It has done everything you said it would. From the point of a motor home owner who was shocked with a $7,000 roof repair estimate. My roof looks brand new and has a seamless finish that looks like I will be leak free for years to come. Thanks for a product that performed as promised and is well within the capabilities of a determined RV Owner to apply.
Kellie, Thanks for all your assistance over the past two months. We have finally got around to getting the product on a job and were very impressed overall with it. Solid performance and just a remarkable finish when it dried. Just what you said a 100% seamless area. We have been doing metal roofs for about 12 years now and I think we found the product to end all. Great staff who walked us through our first roof. We had a 25,000 sq ft flat roof, mostly metal with some rusting and areas where the vents were covered with a hot tar application. We brushed on an elastomeric coating on the tar areas and on the heavily rusted areas covered them with a metal primer. By the way the product is nice to work with. Given the 8 hour time frame you have to work with, our guys didn't have to rush. Not the case with some of the other products out there where the set up is real quick. We were quite amazed with the appearance. It looks like someone put a 25,000 sq ft piece of sheet epdm on our roof. We'll be back! I was going to install a regular rubber roof when I saw your product. It would save a lot of work. I ordered a gallon to try and your product was just what you said it was. It went on easy with the squeegie and evened itself to a beautiful coating. It looks and feels like it will last a long time.I am ordering a second gallon to finish the job. I had a contractor build a patio cover out of cedar and 4x4 glass panes. He never could get the roof to stop leaking though he used several products. Water would eventually always leak somewhere around the joint of the glass and the tin lip he had laid the glass in. I just applied your product and am confident I finally found the right sealant to stop the leaks. I can BBQ in the dry for once without drips all over the patio roof. Great product! I just wanted to drop a line about your product. Everyone was SUPER helpful and knew the product, properties and application methods well. I applied to product on the trailer in about a 2-hour period one evening. It was tricky with the application, from a novice who had not done this before, on the flat surface as well as rounding the corners and down on the sides about 6 inches. It went GREAT! Needless to say, I am super proud of the product and the finished job. I cannot thank your folks enough for the support and quality of the product. Excellent. Coming from a process management philosophy and background, it leads me to be extra thankful for outstanding processes with outstanding people. Thanks again, G Sorrell Donna,your staff and your customer service is the reason we buy from you. You had asked us several months ago if we would write up something for your Website. We wanted to get some additional orders first before coming to conclusions. We have ordered over 1000 gallons this year and the product truly lives up to its name. We have won three bids using your product because of our ability to stand behind our work. Your staff has always been there for questions, handling returns and the voice of reason when our installers call. Thanks for the visit. Sorry I wasn't there but at least you got the fifty cent tour. H&W Property Management We have completed the resurfacing of our commercial roof back in April and ordered a few more pails for areas where we probably did not apply it thick enough. Just wanted to share these photos with you. We have received several quotes for our 25,000 ft roof and after all was said and done managed to get it done for under $21,000 with you guys. Great product as you can see it came out wonderful and you were dealing with a skeptic. T. Basset Here is a picture of our finished roof. We were very happy with the end result. You have a great product here and we will be ordering for future jobs we have. We were a bit skeptical at first but when it was fully dry it looked as if we installed a new 1500 sq piece of sheet EPDM. B & T Contracting First I would like to thank you again for all the help! Attached is a picture of the trailer I used the EPDM coating on. It's 10 years old and the roof gave out last year. I applied your coating and everything has been "hunky-dory" since then. Thanks for a really good product which is easy to use and DOES the job as advertised. We recently installed Liquid Roof on the roof of our houseboat. Liquid Roof was installed over unpainted plywood, fiberglass, painted wood and aluminum. It bonded very well to everything! Installation was relatively easy and the final result looks great! We are extremely pleased and have been recommending it to everyone on our dock! Thanks. Gentlemen:
Donna you may have recalled me asking if the testimonials on your site were real....well here I am writing you one after using the product. Thanks for all the help for us novices here. I will send pictures later but we completed our warehouse last week and had two good rainfalls and no leaks. We had a few roofers who quoted us $25,000 but managed to get by with $4,500 of your product !! I thought I read at one point that this was non-toxic to fish. I have a leak in a pond liner where the two parts over lap. I was thinking of using your product to try and seal the joint. Your thoughts P.S. Installed your product on my barn and is working great! You asked us to send you a note on our feedback. As a roofer we have tried many products Sealoflex, Santi-Tred, Snow Roof and everything in between. Yours is what we will be using from now on. We are especially impressed with the flexibility of your product. With the seasonal changes we find this is the major cause for cracking to R. Holt (Kansas City KS) Thanks Brian. I'm just going to order me a gallon to start. Your rapid replies to my inquires make me know that you have confidence in your product. So, that gives me the confidence to try it out. J Odom (TX) Very satisfied with the final outcome of our metal roof. We have another buildings and we will be using Liquid Rubber on it as well. The first was just a test. You folks said everything it did! We did a lot of research about finding the right product to fix our tin gutters. We had tried many products over the years and they either wouldn't cure in enough time and would eventually peal. When we tried Liquid Roof, it was love at first sight! It spread on smooth and filled in all of the cracks and folds completely tight. It's been through Thank-you for your speedy reply. I really love your product and fully recommend it to all RV owners. Very well worth the wait. As promised would be glad to tell all of the wonderful experience with your product. Quite easier than the EPDM sheet rubber regarding installation. Hope to be a long customer of yours. Cheers All! Thanks to all for the very informative info. It made our decision easier. After discussing with several roofing companies we found that your product as promised did not require a primer nor a second application. We saved about a $1.10 per sq foot. Next month the second building!. We looked at many products before making our decision and we though yours was the most expensive, as it turned out it was the cheapest. Donna walked us through the whole deal. What the contractor originally wanted to do was going to require us to set a primer down first then the tar roof and gravel. We saved over $3500.00 just in the labor We have had quite a time resurfacing flat roofs here and happy to say you product appear to be our solution. More to come. Cheers and thanks to the quick reply of all our e-mails. Ordered a gallon and used it on the worst part of a 13 year old rubber roof, I am now buying 4 Gal. to try to do the rest. I highly recommend your product and if anyone wants to know about it I would be glad to chat with them about it. Hi--got a 5 gallon pail the other day it fixed the leak but now the water has shifted sideways--YOUR STUFF IS GREAT---SO WHAT HECK WITH 15 GALLONS I"LL DO THE REST OF THE ROOF. WISH I HAD ENOUGH MONEY TO DO THE WHOLE HOUSE |
