If you suspect your RV roof may be damaged—or you just want peace of mind before your next trip—you might be wondering what a professional inspection actually involves.
At Elite RV Roof & Collision, we offer a free on-site RV roof inspection designed to make things easy, clear, and stress-free. No guesswork. No pressure. Just honest answers and a plan forward if your roof needs attention.
And best of all? You don’t have to climb up there yourself.
One of the biggest mistakes RV owners make is waiting until they see water inside the rig. Unfortunately, by the time water shows up on the ceiling or walls, the damage is often already worse than it looks.
A roof issue can start small—like a seam that’s drying out or a tiny crack around a vent—and grow into:
soft spots in the roof decking
insulation and wood rot
interior stains and odor
costly structural repairs
long-term moisture problems
A professional roof inspection can help catch these problems early and prevent bigger headaches later.
Getting started is easy.
When you schedule with Elite RV Roof & Collision, our goal is to work around your schedule and make the inspection as convenient as possible. We’ll confirm the basic details about your RV, your concerns, and what you’ve noticed so far.
Common reasons customers schedule a roof inspection include:
“I think I have a roof leak.”
“I just went through a hail storm.”
“I’m seeing cracking around seals.”
“I’m buying/selling the RV and want it checked.”
“My roof is older and I want to know where it stands.”
RV roofs are not always safe to climb on—especially if they’re wet, aging, or already damaged. Many RV owners also don’t have the right ladder, shoes, safety setup, or the experience to know what to look for.
That’s why Elite offers free on-site inspections done by trained professionals.
We take the physical work and risk off your plate and bring the inspection to your location.
This is where the inspection becomes extremely valuable.
During your roof inspection, we’ll look at the parts of the RV roof that commonly fail first, including:
Seams are one of the most vulnerable areas because they expand and contract in changing temperatures.
We check for:
cracking
separation
thinning
bubbling
dry and brittle areas
These openings are common leak points because they are exposed to movement, seal breakdown, and impact damage.
If your RV has a membrane roof, we inspect for:
tearing
punctures
exposed substrate
worn areas
signs of aging or deterioration
If your RV has been through hail or storm debris, we check for damage that might not be obvious from the ground.
A professional inspection isn’t just about what’s visible on the surface.
We also look for warning signs that may indicate deeper roof problems, such as:
soft spots
areas that feel weak or unstable
roof sagging or unevenness
evidence that past repairs didn’t hold
possible leak tracking (where water travels before it shows up inside)
Even if your RV “isn’t leaking right now,” this step helps confirm whether you’re safe to travel—or headed toward a costly surprise.
Once the inspection is done, our team doesn’t just leave you with a vague answer like:
“Yeah, you’ve got some damage.”
We take time to walk you through what we found in plain language, so you understand:
what’s damaged
what needs attention now
what can wait (if anything)
what the recommended solution is
what it could turn into if ignored
You’ll get honest guidance, whether that means a repair, a replacement, or simply peace of mind that you’re in good shape.
If we find roof damage that may qualify under a storm-related insurance claim, we can help you navigate the next step.
That often includes:
documenting what we found
explaining what repairs are needed and why
helping you understand what the insurance process typically looks like
guiding the claim forward the right way
The goal is to make the process easier—not more stressful.
At Elite RV Roof & Collision, we know RV roof repairs or replacements can feel like a big disruption—especially for customers with busy schedules.
That’s why we offer pickup and delivery options, helping make the process smoother from start to finish.
Instead of rearranging your week, borrowing a truck, or figuring out transportation logistics, you can let Elite handle it.
If your inspection shows significant damage, frequent leaks, or long-term wear, we’ll explain whether replacement is the smartest route.
And if a replacement is needed, we offer ApexArmor — our premium RV roof system built for long-term protection and confidence.
Lifetime warranty protection
Built to stand up to harsh weather and real-world RV use
A cleaner, tougher upgrade compared to many traditional roof systems
Designed for long-term value and peace of mind
If you’re tired of chasing leaks, patching the same areas repeatedly, or worrying every time a storm rolls in, ApexArmor is the kind of solution RV owners switch to when they want it handled the right way.
A good rule of thumb is:
At least once per year
Before major travel seasons
After hail or severe storms
Any time you notice stains, odors, or soft spots
Even if your RV seems fine, a yearly inspection can prevent expensive surprises down the road.
If you’ve been putting off checking your roof because you don’t want to climb up there—or you’re not sure what you’re looking for—this is your next best step.
Elite RV Roof & Collision makes it easy:
