I do not take on major structural accident repairs, install new fiberglass skins, or perform aluminum welding.
What you're probably noticing
Bubbles or waves in the sidewall you can push in with your thumb. Dents across the roof cap and one whole side after a hail storm. A torn corner from a tree branch or a gust catching an open door. Siding seams opening up. A door that has to be lifted to latch, or a window that weeps a little in every rain.
Body damage isn't only cosmetic on a camper. The skin is part of what keeps water out of the walls.
What I do about it
I find where the water is getting in first, because fixing the skin over a wet wall wastes your money. Then I handle the repair: siding panel replacement, delamination work, framing repair behind the skin, sealing and re-trimming windows and doors, door and lock adjustment, corner and cap repair.
Hail and storm work I document with photos so you have something solid for your insurance claim. Small panel and seal work happens on site. Big body work and full panel replacement comes into the Roscoe shop where I can work clean and let adhesives cure properly.
My scope is minor to moderate body damage and reframing caused by water damage. I do not do major structural accident repairs, new fiberglass skins, or aluminum welding.
Why I do it this way
I learned to weld and build on a farm, which means I care whether a wall is actually straight, not just covered. Trim goes back with fresh butyl. Fasteners land in solid framing. Seams get sealed with the right product for the joint instead of whatever tube is open.
I take my time with it. I want the repair to hold, not just look finished for the drive home.
Questions I get
Straight answers
- Can delamination be fixed, or do I need a new wall?
- Most delamination can be repaired if the framing behind it is still sound. I check the wall first and tell you honestly which one you're facing.
- Do you handle insurance hail claims?
- I repair the damage and give you detailed photos and a written estimate for your adjuster. You keep control of the claim.
- Can you match my siding?
- I source the closest available panel and profile for your camper. On older units I'll show you the options before I order.
- My door won't latch right. Is that body work?
- Usually yes. A door that binds is often a frame or wall issue, not just a lock. I fix the cause.
