  • Paint & Roof Sealing

    Posted by Tim on September 3, 2016 at 4:04 pm

    Anyone have any suggestions for good touch-up paint work and maybe re-sealing the entire roof in FL?

    Would like to drop the bus there before Christmas and pick-up a couple weeks later.

    Tim,

    If you can make it to Texas, the place to go is Xtreme Paint and Graphics a PC advertiser and a long time supporter. Al just had his done and I believe Buddy is doing the same.

    James and his crew at Xtreme do a great job. He even has a place for you to stay if staying in the coach is not possible.

    Some pictures of my roof job at Xtreme Paint and Graphics. James (owner) needs pics of your roof existing condition to quote the job.

    In my case patches of old clear quote was the only protection. Inside bus is quieter and cooler now.

    I had additional paint repair done on bus header… silver paint in front of pic refinished. Also, paint chipping around black salon windows on passenger side was repaired and repainted.

    Sanding and prep for roof coat was appox 1 1/2 days

    I then moved into Extreme apartment that is on their property leaving bus in booth until finished.

    Thanks Guys,

    I know about James & his service. FL is easier logistically, but I can always run down there if needed.

    Hi Tim & Cindy…

    We had our roof done about 3 years ago after looking at everything that was available at the time, including Xtreme. Being full time, we wanted a coating that would not only solve any potential leaks we may have, but also be heat reflective in the summer and heat insulating in the winter. Our coach only has single payne windows, so we need all the help we can get on both fronts. What we wound up with is actually a heavy duty industrial foam roof coating that is about 3/16″ thick and provides an excellent additional layer of th.ermal and sound insulation. Unless it is really pouring, we very seldom hear it raining inside the coach, and it definitely helps with both heat and cold weather situations.

    We had it done in Green Springs Cove, FL, just outside of Jacksonville ((David’s original location). I brought the coach in on a Sunday evening, and David started first thing Mon. I got a motel room for the next two nights & saw some sights, as well as dropping back by several times to check the progress over the next couple of days. I came back Wed mid-late morning, and David had me ready to go with the newly applied roof. Pretty impresive, in that he had removed all of the ac units, stand pipe covers, and vent covers, did a very thorough prep, sprayed the foam material and replaced the vent covers and stand pipe covers with new, and replaced the ac gaskets with new as well. I think I left their shop late Wed or early am Thurs. A really great experience and Jennfer & David are super great folks to deal with. He has been in the process of franchising his business since we had ours done, and now has several locations across the country. Having met David and Jennifer, and knowing the way they do business, I would have little hesitation to check out one of his new locations if that would be more convenient.

    His website is: http://www.rvroof.com

    I’ll try to attach some pics of the process if I can figure out how, but he has plenty of plastic coach and trailer examples on his site.

    If you seriously consider letting David or one of his franchisees do your roof, contact me…I may have a discount coupon that would save a couple of bucks.

    Outside of finding Jeff and doing the zeroing out mechanical process, the roof is the one thing we’ve done to our coach that has really markedly improved our full time experience and comfort. Not cheap, but well worth the price in our opinion. Peter was impressed as well I think, when he was helping put new roof air units on our coach earlier this summer when we were at Jeff’s.
