Cost of a new EPDM roof?

OK, it has been a month since I have had a chance to get any estimates on getting new EPDM roof on my TC. I am in the middle of a restoration on my TC and having a tree limb come through the roof, last month, just hastened a new roof.

Has anyone had a membrane roof renewed on a TC? I am curious as to a price and how long it took. Does anyone know of a good shop ... preferably in Michigan ... that does roofs? I have three appointments set up for later this week and would like to have some idea if they are close.

Mine will take about 19'-21', long, of material. I know that everything has to be stripped off the roof, the moldings and hardware removed, the old rubber removed, the wood inspected and replaced as necessary and possibly insulation. Then the new membrane laid down, glued in place and all the roof fittings replaced.

I know it is labor intensive and the labor will be higher than the materials. I used to work on RVs before I was forced to retire with health and joint problems. We used to ballpark the estimate at about $110.00- $125.00/ running foot plus any extra work that had to be done. We could kick them out, with two men in about 30 hours for each man. AND these were 35-38' motor-homes. I remember four that I worked on and it was not all that bad, inside a shop.

So I know what needs to be done, I just don't know how much the pricing has changed since the 1990's.

Since you have to replace it.... you might think about TPO instead.

The sun doesn't hurt TPO, it is tough... almost impossible to punch a hole in without a firearm.

It will not oxidize (chalk)

No streaks on the sides of your camper from the milky edpm oxide run-off.

It comes in a roll 8' wide and as long as you need. Roll the edges over the roof's slightly... rain runs off. You can cut it with industrial sissors or a good utility knife... for the AC, and other vents.

I originally had an aluminum roof... I have had a TPO roof since 2006. Lance installed it (insurance job)

Good luck
