EPDM Liquid Roof-Questions For Those Who Have Used It

OK, the roof on Alpenlite is kinda done, its the original, no rips or tears, and its still mostly white. It looks like the PO did a poor job of using the Dicor roof coating, and its peeling off.

We are starting the remodel and updating of it and I need to get the roof in order along with the resealing of ALL the windows, lights, and anything else on the outside.

Has anyone use the EPDM liquid roof coating? Does anyone know the life expectancy of it? It looks like a decent coating, or should I just tear off and replace the existing EPDM sheet?

    I have used the Liquid Rubber on two occasions. Works great and for all intents and purposes, you get a new roof.

    Retired and on a fixed income........3-4K is not in the budget for the roof. I am cheap labor and they don't have a DIY kit to do it with. I can get the replacement membrane kit for $500-$600.


    do a search, there is at least one DIYer here.

    Couldn't find anything, but thanks.

    Went up on the roof last evening and I think I will replace the membrane rather than just band aid it. I've heard that the wood runners on the edges of the Alpenlite's roofs have a tendency to rot and need to be replaced around the age of ours. I will do more checking of the edges today for soft spots. The main roof itself doesn't seem to have any soft spots that I can find. Plus if I replace the membrane I can do some patching that I want to do. The sat dish is in the wrong place and needs to be replaced, and there is a non working solar roof fan that I want to remove too.
