Generally speaking, do you prefer a fiberglass roof or a rubber (TPO, etc.)roof on MH? And reasons why?
I have had a TPO roof on a Four Winds MH and its fine but I spend some serious time each year (at least 2X per year) cleaning and treating the material. So I keep it in good shape. But I am in the market for a new unit and not sure I want a rubber roof anymore.
As I have grown older I find those hours spent up on the roof maintaining the TPO are getting more stressful... I'm sure lots of you understand what I'm saying.
So is fiberglass better from a maintenance standpoint? Longevity standpoint? Or are there other factors I am failing to consider here?
Thank you for all input.
both require periodic maintenance but we've always had fiberglass roofs and have had essentially no issues. but we keep up with inspections..visual and smoke tests..and perform maintenance based on those inspections.
