The move from the previous owner's land was difficult and there was a long country drive from there to here, so the home underwent quite a bit of torsion on its way here.
My question is about the roof. The roof has a silver coating on it that looks good for the most part with a few flaking spots. Along the roof seams there are small cracks in the coating and larger cracks around the vent pipes. I'm worried the stresses of the move stretched and cracked the coating to the point that water will seep in.
All but one of the roof coatings I saw at Lowes say it needs to be at least 50 or 60 degrees (depending on the coating) and dry for application. There was one coating that didn't specify, but it looked like a black rubber coating (wish I had written down the name - don't recognize it online) that didn't seem as high of quality as the others. Being that it's December and cold/snowy where we are...
- * Should I use mastic to cover the vent caps for the winter, just in case, or will that bite me down the line when I want to do a proper coat in the spring?
* If so, should I take the time to cover each seam with mastic too?
* Is there a coating anyone knows about that would at least get me through the winter?
* If so, does that coating limit my options for further coatings?
* Not ideal in the least, but would tarping the roof be a viable option at this point, if that even works?
Thank you from a mobile home noob!
