A shed with a flat roof has failed seams causing water intrusion and wood rot, and the owner cannot safely access the roof to repair it properly.

Existing roof repair solutions require safe roof access and removal of old material, but the rotted wood makes that impossible. No practical, topically applied sealant solution exists that works on failed membrane seams without stripping the roof.

App Concept

RoofPatch Pro

RoofPatch Pro is a heavy-duty, peel-and-stick rubberized patch that bonds over failing seams on flat roofs. It requires no climbing or stripping: simply apply from a telescoping pole or drone-attached applicator. The patch seals leaks instantly and flexes with the roof, buying years of time until a full replacement is safe.

Key Features

Telescoping pole applicator for safe ground-level installation
Drone-compatible gravity dispenser for hard-to-reach areas
Self-leveling rubberized compound that seals around bubbles and cracks
Weatherproof for 2-3 years; paintable to match existing roof

Target Users: DIY homeowners and property managers with damaged flat roofs who cannot safely access the roof due to weight limits, rot, or steep slope.

Revenue Model: $49.99 per 5-gallon bucket (covers ~150 sq ft) plus $29.99 for telescoping pole kit; subscription for yearly re-sealant sent before rainy season
