There’s a big difference between a roof that gets you through the next trip and one that’s built to last for years. If you’re considering a sprayed RV roof, the questions you ask now could save you thousands in repairs and give you long-term peace of mind. The truth is, not all RV roofs – or applicators – are created equal.
A sprayed system like FlexArmor isn’t just another coating. It’s not something you roll on in your driveway or patch up after every storm. It’s a custom-applied, high-build roofing system designed to eliminate common failure points and keep your rig protected, season after season. But that protection only works if it’s done right.
Before you sign off on a roof job, ask your applicator the right questions. Here are five worth bringing to the conversation.
1. What Exactly Are You Spraying on My Roof?
It might sound obvious, but you’d be surprised how many RV owners assume every sprayed roof is the same. Many applicators use basic roll-on coatings or hybrid materials that aren’t built to handle the kind of stress an RV roof takes on the road.
FlexArmor is different. It’s a true sprayed polyurea system – no seams, no caulking, no guesswork. It goes on over a properly prepped surface in a controlled environment, creating a thick, seamless shell that outlasts rubber, TPO, or DIY products. So before you agree to anything, ask what product is being used and what it’s actually made to do.
2. Is the Work Being Done Indoors?
This one matters more than you think. A sprayed roof system applied outdoors is vulnerable from the start – dirt, wind, moisture, and temperature shifts can all affect how well the material bonds. Even if the coating looks fine now, it may not hold up six months from now.
Every FlexArmor roof is applied indoors in a climate-controlled facility, so there’s no guesswork about the conditions. That kind of consistency gives your roof the best possible start—and the best long-term results.
3. Who’s Actually Doing the Work?
It’s easy to assume that all applicators are trained the same, but the truth is, experience matters. You want someone who knows what they’re looking for, how to prep the surface correctly, and how to spray a clean, even roof.
FlexArmor applicators are certified and trained through a nationwide network. That’s not just a badge, it’s a guarantee that the same level of precision goes into every roof, no matter where you have it done. If you’re trusting someone with a major investment like your RV, make sure they’ve got the training to back it up.
4. What Does the Warranty Actually Cover?
Some warranties sound great until you try to use them. Always ask what’s included—does it cover materials? Labor? Leaks? Is it prorated or full coverage? And what happens if the shop closes?
FlexArmor stands out here. It’s the only sprayed RV roof system with a lifetime, transferable warranty that’s backed by a nationwide network of authorized applicators. That means you’re not tied to one shop, and you’re not left hanging if ownership changes. It’s coverage that actually follows you—and your rig, wherever you go.
5. What Maintenance Will I Need to Keep Up With?
One of the biggest selling points of a high-quality sprayed RV roof is that you shouldn’t have to mess with it all the time. If your applicator says you’ll need to reseal seams, touch up caulk, or come in every year for inspections, it’s probably not the long-term solution you’re looking for.
FlexArmor is built to be low maintenance. No seams. No yearly resealing. No guesswork. And if something does happen—a low branch, a hailstorm—it’s fully repairable without needing to redo the whole roof.
