Horse trailer is leaking water from the roof.

Who do y'all recommend to reseal the roof in the Brazos Valley?

I don't have a place that does it, but my all aluminum slant load leaked on the roof and it was due to the factory sealant cracking and just giving in to age. I used a stiff brush, acetone to scrub on all the seams a little, and then applied self leveling SIKA FLEX. It's the exact same stuff I used on my travel trailer to seal room penetration seams. If you are a DIY kinda fella, this is the way i'd go. Just make sure you do it now...not in August because that roof is hot as heck then.

Had a roof leak in a data cab of one of our wireline trucks...
I cleaned up the old sealant and exposed the riveted seam. All of the rivets were in awful condition, but it's an insulated roof and I didn't want to dig into the underside.

Once it was cleaned up I used a Gorilla Patch & Seal tape:

I rolled over the tape a few times with a hard roller that you'd use on linoleum.

Then gave it a good thick coat of this:
