Pilot program for manufactured home parks
Do not bet the park. Prove a block.
A controlled three-to-five-roof pilot for park owners and community operators who need real field data before making a portfolio decision.
For RV parks + manufactured-home communities
One broad roof absorbs all afternoon. A portfolio multiplies every wrong assumption.
Sundown Coatings turns the first roofs into a repeatable operating record: fit, material use, labor, weather, defects and follow-up.
The mechanism at park scale
One surface, repeated across the property.
Across a park, the roof line is the largest single surface the operator owns. The mechanism is the same on every unit, which is what makes a park a program rather than a series of one-off jobs.
The mechanism
Mechanism view, not a thermal simulation. The surface decides how much energy stays.
What belongs in the capital plan
Budget from the aged number, not the new one.
An operator is buying a maintenance interval, not a launch-day photograph. The published three-year value is the number that belongs in a capital plan, and it is the number worth asking every coating vendor to produce.

Year 3, publishedReflectance falls as a roof weathers. A brand that only publishes day-one numbers is showing you the easy half of the record.

Evidence before rollout
Four gates between interest and scale.
- Sample the block: Select three to five roofs representing the recurring substrates, ages and conditions in the community.
- Create the baseline: Document roof condition, existing layers, repair needs, interior context and consistent measurement points.
- Run one standard: Materials, weather gates, local labor, film checks, photos and closeout follow one managed scope.
- Compare honestly: Review surface readings, occupant observations, defects, labor time and material use without promising a portfolio-wide result.
The decision file
A pilot should answer the operator’s real questions.
A preliminary three-roof pilot planning range is developed after a roof census. No per-unit price is published before coverage and repair scope are verified.
