repairing rood

Your miss-spelling of roof intrigued me , I thought that you owned a ROOD !Forty five years ago while sailing in the far southern Bahamas we were told to visit Long Island as It had the oldest ROOD in the new world . We had no idea what a ROOD was , so we sailed three days to see ! It was a suspended cross !

A new roof material sounds like the last (and maybe least) of the issues of your repair project. It sounds like you will need to repair parts of your roof structure first. And then you can put on a new skin, be it EPDM, aluminum, or something else.

I fully understand the job ahead repairing the structure but was just looking at the roof material. I thought aluminum but will need to find a source of supply and the cost as well. Thanks

I just did my rubber roof with this stuff.

Not cheap at HD, but I used it on my flat house roof a year ago and was pleased with the results, so just last week did my camper.
My camper 16 years old rubber roof did hold OK, but the years cost it few cuts and seems no caulk would stick to it and I tried at least 8 different, including marine stuff.
The Silicone coating looks great, giving it shiny, but soft finish.
It is partly self-leveling, so easy to apply on flat roof, but challenging on sloping surfaces.
MY front cap had some repairs on it and original labels washed out, so I am thinking about putting the coating on whole front cap as well.
Already did window rubber seal, who had some mildew stains that would not clean.
