Single Membrane Roofing for Manufactured Homes

What is single membrane roofing and why should you consider it as an option when re-roofing your manufactured home?

I interviewed Dave Smith, roofing consultant with Tropical Roofing in St. Petersburg, to learn everything I could about single membrane roofing. Jeffrey Smith, president, and his brother, Gary, who is vice president, have been installing single membrane roofs for a number of years and I am aware that they have installed a number of them in my community.

The initial cost of a single membrane roof is higher than the traditional shingle roof. So why should someone spend the extra money for single membrane? Single membrane is available in white, which is the most commonly used, or you can have a membrane that looks like a shingle roof in tan, charcoal or green. Single membrane lasts longer than typical asphalt shingles. It is waterproof, even on the low pitched roofs. It is durable in extreme weather conditions. It is an energy-efficient insulation system. It noiselessly seals out wind, rain and salt spray. It is maintenance free, looking new year after year. It is a quick and worry-free installation, usually one day. Tropical offers a lifetime warranty to the buyer and a 15-year warranty if home ownership is transferred within 15 years.
