Dead room by two.
That back bedroom sits under a thin, broad roof that takes the whole afternoon, and every unit on the row has the same one.
Pilot program for manufactured home parks
Do not bet the park. Prove a block.
Three to five roofs, one standard, one honest read before you commit the whole park.
For RV parks + manufactured-home communities
A park is the same roof, eighty times over.
Do not roll it out until you have rolled it on.
One wrong assumption gets bought eighty times.
Park math
The back bedroom nobody uses after two.
Coat the roof, not the room.
Two to three coats roll straight over the roof you already have, about 32 sq ft per gallon finished on flat.

One roof tells you eighty.
You find out what a roof in your park costs to do before you sign for the whole property.

The mechanism at park scale
One surface, repeated across the property.
Same roof, same sun, unit after unit. That is what makes a park a program instead of eighty separate 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.
You are buying a maintenance interval, not a launch-day photograph.

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.
Published producer values, matched to formula and batch before quoting
Plan the roof at three, not at day one.
0.74 reflectance at three years is the published figure, and every coating vendor should hand you theirs.
Evidence before rollout
Four gates between interest and scale.
- Sample the block: Three to five roofs that look like the rest of the park.
- Create the baseline: Photos, layers, repairs and the same measuring points every visit.
- Run one standard: Same material, same weather gates, same crew, same closeout.
- Compare honestly: Read the result on those roofs and nowhere else.
The decision file
Four questions a pilot has to answer.
Roof Coat is $445 a five-gallon bucket, down to $370 each on a pallet of ten, plus ground shipping by region. Managed installation is quoted from the measured roof, after the census.
