Built to Protect: How One USMC Veteran and His Family Is Raising the Standard for RV Roofing

Veterans Deserve More—And RV Roofing Solutions Delivers

When your home has wheels, your RV roof becomes more than shelter—it’s your shield against the elements, your peace of mind on the open road. That’s why RV Roofing Solutions isn’t just another RV repair company. It's a seamless maintenance free roofing system that can be installed as a prevetative measure to protect your RV or the company you want when it comes to more extensive RV roof repairs.

Led by a retired United States Marine Corps veteran and his family, this mission-driven team brings military-grade integrity, precision, and heart to every install. From coast to coast, they’re empowering RVers to demand better—no shortcuts, no excuses, just roofs built to protect what matters most.

When Frank Schillaci joined the United States Marine Corps in 1992, he wasn’t dreaming of roof sealant or mobile repairs. He was answering a deeper call—one rooted in honor, integrity, and unwavering commitment to serve and protect his country. As an electronics technician, Frank honed his skills with precision and pride, embodying the values that define the Marine Corps.

In 1994, he married Jennifer, and together they built a life grounded in faith, resilience, and love. Through deployments, trainings, and cross-country moves, they raised seven children—navigating the highs and lows of military life with grit and grace. Frank’s dedication never wavered. He served proudly until 2012, retiring as a Gunnery Sergeant after two decades of service.

But the story didn’t end there.
In 2013, Frank graduated Cum Laude from Liberty University, and the Schillaci family made a bold decision: to hit the road in an RV with six of their seven children (their oldest had just launched into adulthood). What started as a wild adventure quickly became a lifestyle—and eventually, a calling.

As full-time RVers, Frank and Jennifer Schillaci saw firsthand the challenges families face when their homes-on-wheels need repairs. They experienced the frustration of poor workmanship, the stress of leaks, and the lack of transparency in mobile service. So they did what Marines do best: they stepped up.


In 2014, Frank began installing RV roofs as a side gig—just a way to earn a little extra while traveling with his family. He didn’t know it then, but that first roof was the beginning of something much bigger. From 2016 to 2020, Frank stepped into management roles within the RV industry, gaining valuable insight into operations, customer care, and the challenges RVers face nationwide. That experience sharpened his leadership and laid the groundwork for what was coming next.


Fast forward to 2020, when Jennifer met Scott Christian, the original founder of RV Roofing Solutions, at the Tampa SuperShow. He saw her passion, her clarity, and her deep connection to the RV community—and asked her to manage marketing. It was a huge leap of faith, and the start of a new mission.


The first few years were tough. They were learning the ropes, balancing travel with business, and navigating the legacy of a 20-year-old company. But by 2022, Frank and Jennifer were all in—attending RV rallies, building community bonds, and expanding install teams with the same values that had guided them through military life: honor, integrity, and commitment.

From the very beginning, Frank and Jennifer knew that RV Roofing Solutions had to stand for more than just quality repairs—it had to reflect their values. One of the very first things they asked Scott for was a way to honor military families like their own.


The result? A dedicated military discount program, built into the original agreements as a non-negotiable pillar of the company’s mission.


For Frank, a retired Gunnery Sergeant, and Jennifer, who held their family together through deployments and relocations, this wasn’t just a gesture—it was a promise. A way to give back to those who serve, protect, and sacrifice. It was about recognizing the RVers who’ve worn the uniform, and making sure they feel seen, respected, valued, and supported.


That program still stands today, woven into the fabric of RV Roofing Solutions. Because for the Schillaci family, honoring military service isn’t a marketing angle—it’s personal.


What Sets RV Roofing Solutions Apart(8) RV Roof Advice | Facebook


• Family-Owned and Operated: When we say “family-run,” we mean it. If you call the home office, you might speak with Justyn, our oldest son. Your install team could include our older boys, who’ve continued the tradition of hands-on service. Even our daughter-in-law plays a vital role behind the scenes. This isn’t just a business—it’s a legacy.


• Veteran and First Responder Proud: Many of our technicians are veterans, first responders, or the spouses who’ve stood beside them. We honor that service by creating a workplace rooted in respect, reliability, and community care.


• Low VOC, High Integrity: We use low-VOC products to protect your health and the environment—because safety shouldn’t stop at the install.


• Real Support, Real People: When our team needs help or advice, Frank and Jennifer are always there—quietly leading, mentoring, and making sure every roof reflects the values they live by.


• A Warranty That Means Something: We continue the original founder Scott Christian’s promise: a 10-year transferable material and labor warranty. No vague “lifetime” language. No hidden clauses. No “acts of God”  exclusions. Just a clear, honest commitment to stand behind our work.


• Proud partners for both Family RV Association & Tiffin Allegro Club Benefit Partner.


As a proud benefit partner of both the Family RV Association and the Tiffin Allegro Club, we’re honored to support veterans who RV with trusted services and exclusive perks.

When you choose RV Roofing Solutions, you’re not just buying a roof—you’re investing in a company that invests in you. You’re supporting a team that shows up at rallies, answers your questions, and treats your home-on-wheels like their own.


Because at the end of the day, we’re not just in the roofing business. We’re in the community-building business.

At RV Roofing Solutions, honoring our military isn’t just a seasonal gesture—it’s a year-round commitment. Owned & Operated by a proud USMC veteran and his family, our company stands on the values of service, integrity, and protection. That’s why veterans always save extra with us.


But in November, we take it even further.


November: A Month of Stackable Savings

Every November, we roll out additional savings for veterans and their families. These aren’t just token discounts—they’re stackable, which means:

• If you and your spouse are both veterans, your savings multiply.

• If you’re a member of the Family RV Association or the Tiffin Allegro Club, you get even more. (your F# or C# are required)

• If you’ve continued to serve your community as a first responder or teacher, we honor that too—with a little extra.


Let’s just say: if you’re a veteran and get your estimate written in November, the savings can be significant.


Lock In the savings with Just $500

So what’s the catch? There isn’t one. To lock in your November savings, all you need to do is:

1. Get your estimate written during November.

2. Sign your contract.

3. Put down a $500 deposit to secure your future install.

That’s it. No gimmicks. No fine print. Just real savings for real heroes.


Setting the Bar High—Because You Deserve It

At RV Roofing Solutions, we believe veterans deserve the best—on and off the road. That’s why we’re raising the standard for mobile roofing and raising the bar for how businesses honor those who’ve served.


Once those steps are complete, your stackable savings are secured, and your price sheet is locked in for the year—even if your install happens months down the road. There’s no limit on how much you can save—it’s up to you to keep your roof in good condition and schedule your install when the time is right.


Honoring Our Allies: Canadian Snowbirds Save Too

At RV Roofing Solutions, our commitment to service doesn’t stop at the border. We proudly honor our Canadian allies—especially the snowbirds who journey south each year in search of sunshine and smooth roads. This season, we’re extending our stackable savings to include our northern neighbors.


If you’ve served in the Canadian Armed Forces you’re eligible for exclusive seasonal discounts. Because respect, gratitude, and quality craftsmanship know no borders.

Join the Mission: Installer Opportunities with Purpose


As the RV industry grows, so do the opportunities—and at RV Roofing Solutions, we’re proud to offer meaningful income paths for veterans, first responders, and mobile RV technicians who share our commitment to excellence & the RV community.


We actively seek out individuals with attention to detail, integrity, and dedication—qualities often found in exceptional ways within the military and service communities. Every installer signs a clear agreement that ensures quality standards and team accountability, because we believe that trust starts with transparency.


Here’s what sets us apart:

• Competitive Pay: We offer fair, reliable compensation for every install.

• No Training Fees: Unlike other companies, we never charge for training. We invest in you.

• Hands-On Support: Our team trains every installer directly—and we stand behind every roof we install.

• Flexible Adventure: Because we go to the client’s location, flexibility is key.

That makes us a great fit for mobile RV techs looking to expand their reach and add to their adventure.

• Real-World Skills: Our installs often involve solar, A/C units, and wood decking replacement—so we prioritize experienced RV technicians who are ready to tackle real challenges with confidence.


Do You Have to Be a Certified RV Tech to Join the Team?

Short answer: No.


While we do prefer certified RV technicians—especially because our installs often involve solar, A/C units, and wood decking replacement, we also know that skill, integrity, and a willingness to learn can come from many paths.


Take Frank, for example. He’s a Marine with an electronics repair and maintenance background, a college graduate, and a full-time RVer since 2013. He’s not a certified tech, but his experience in general RV maintenance, woodworking, and thousands of roof installs since 2014 speaks for itself. His hands-on knowledge and attention to detail set the bar high—and that’s the kind of excellence we look for.


Many of our teams are certified mobile techs, and that opens up additional opportunities. Our RV techs often perform extra repairs for clients beyond the roof, allowing them to build their own clientele as they travel. It’s a win-win: clients get trusted service, and techs grow their business.


We train every installer ourselves, and we stand behind every roof we install. If you’re reliable, flexible, and ready to serve the RV community with pride, there’s a place for you here. Whether you’re looking to supplement your income, grow your skills, or join a values-driven team, RV Roofing Solutions offers more than a job—it offers a mission.

Honoring Veterans, Celebrating Legacy


November holds deep meaning for RV Roofing Solutions. It’s the month we honor our veterans, celebrate the birthday of the United States Marine Corps, and reflect on the values that built this company from the ground up.


Frank Schillaci didn’t set out to own an RV roofing company when he joined the Marines in 1992, He actually planned to own a bar someday. He wanted to serve—with honor, integrity, and commitment. That same spirit now fuels a business that’s become a lifeline for RVers across North America.


Today, RV Roofing Solutions isn’t just growing—it’s transforming. Under Frank’s leadership and Jennifer’s vision, the company is setting a new standard for mobile RV roofing. They’re not just fixing leaks; they’re restoring trust. They’re not just building roofs; they’re building relationships.


And it all started with a Marine, a mission, and a family that refused to settle for less.


So this November, as we salute our veterans and celebrate the 250th birthday of the USMC, we invite you to be part of something bigger. Whether you’re locking in savings on your estimate, joining the install team, or simply cheering us on from the sidelines, know that you’re supporting a company built on service, strengthened by family, and committed to the RV community we all call home.

Whether you're a seasoned RVer or just starting your journey, RV Roofing Solutions is here to support you—even if you don’t choose us for your install. We’ve created a FREE Facebook group where you can ask any RV roof-related questions, connect with our technicians, and tap into a growing network of support. Many of our techs are active in the group, and if you know anything about Frank, you know this: he’ll answer your questions either way. Because for us, it’s not just about business—it’s about community.

The No‑Nonsense Guide to RV Roof Caulks (From People Who Don’t Even Use Them)

By RV Roofing Solutions • January 21, 2026
A step‑by‑step, real‑talk guide from RV Roofing Solutions At RV Roofing Solutions, we don’t use standard caulks in our maintenance‑free roofing system, but that doesn’t stop people from asking us about caulk every single day. And if you know Frank, you know he’ll walk you through your roof concerns, whether you ever buy our system or not. Some might call that crazy. We call it honesty, education, and doing right by the RV community. After all, not everyone is ready to commit to a maintenance-free full roofing system, and that’s okay. The truth is: not all caulking is created equal. The wrong product can sag, crack, react chemically with your existing roof, or fail prematurely. The right product can buy you time, prevent leaks, and keep you safely on the road. So let’s break down the most common types of RV roof caulks, how they’re used, and when they’re the right choice. Knowing your roof type is the first step to choosing the right caulk, sealant, or repair method, and avoiding the chemical reactions, peeling, and sagging that happen when you use the wrong product. You know how it goes: you climb up on the roof “just to check something,” and suddenly you’re staring at cracks, gaps, and mystery goop from three owners ago. Then comes the big question: “What caulk do I even use on this thing?” Let’s walk through it step by step—like Frank would if he were up there with you. Step 1: Figure out what kind of roof you have Before you touch a tube of anything, you need to know what you’re working with. • EPDM: Rubber-like, usually white, black underneath. • TPO: White, more plastic-like, often on newer rigs. • Fiberglass: Hard, shiny, smooth surface. • PVC: White, more rigid than TPO. • Vinyl: slick, smooth surface that is naturally resistant to UV exposure, cracking, and general weathering. • PET- Grand Design’s new PET composite roof is designed to move away from traditional rubber membranes (TPO/EPDM) and toward a rigid, molded, low‑maintenance composite panel, similar in concept to fiberglass but engineered to be lighter, stronger, and more impact‑resistant. While official long‑term maintenance guidelines are still emerging, PEC behaves much more like a composite/fiberglass roof than a membrane roof. That means no membrane chalking, no rubber conditioners, and far fewer chemical restrictions. • Aluminum/metal: Rigid panels, seams, and fasteners visible. Important Notes for Resealing Alpha Roofs • Use Alpha Systems sealants whenever possible—they are engineered to be chemically compatible with Alpha roofing membranes. • Avoid silicone sealants unless you are removing all existing silicone first; silicone contamination prevents proper adhesion of other products. If you’re not sure, check your owner’s manual or manufacturer’s site. Knowing the material matters because not all caulks are compatible with all roofs. Step 2: Decide what you’re actually trying to do Ask yourself: • Are you patching an active leak? You need something that seals well and bonds strongly. • Are you just maintaining existing seams? You’re likely topping off or replacing old sealant. • Is this a “get me through this trip” fix or a long-term solution? Your answer changes which product makes sense. Being honest about whether this is a band-aid or a real repair will save you frustration later. Step 3: Look at the surface: horizontal or vertical? This is where “sag” (lap) vs “non-sag” comes in. • Horizontal (flat roof, around vents, skylights, AC units): You want self-leveling (lap sealant) caulk. It flows out and creates a smooth puddle over the seam. • On the top of the roof away from edges (sidewalls, ladder mounts, trim, front/rear caps): You want non-sag (non-leveling) caulk. It stays where you put it instead of running down the side of your rig. This would be drip rails along the radius, edges the termination bars and sidewalls. Think: Flat = self-leveling. Anything that fights gravity = non-sag.

Many avoided costly surprises like hidden leaks or water damage, and countless families can travel with confidence knowing their home on wheels is safe and secure.

Instead of waiting for trouble to arise, many RVers chose to upgrade to a maintenance‑free RV Roofing Solutions system right then and there. • No more climbing ladders with a caulking gun every year. • No more worrying about seams failing in the middle of a trip. • No more stress about whether the roof will hold up through storms or sun. Instead, they gained peace of mind—the freedom to focus on adventures, family, and the joy of RV life without the shadow of roof maintenance hanging overhead.
